Letters to Haiti


I just got ther following email from a minister in Haiti who I had emailed on Jan 19th after the Earthquake. I was watching a friend's son who was telling me "Did you know that people in Haiti cannot find food or water?" we talked about making a little card and I would figure out where he could send it.

I didn't really expect to hear from anyone but was hoping. 3 weeks later I receive this attachment and message. I'm hoping to have the kids in children's church or Sunday school classes decorate some cards for the families along with Nick's card. Here is Nick making his card:

Christian Mission South Haiti started this congregation about a year and half ago, with some of the elder kids who live in port-au-prince. The Church was half destroyed.

Junior and sister Magarette were buried alive for 3 days without even seeing sunlight. When both of them were getting ready to go to church, they were eating by a table, Rubens & 4 other kids were in the House. The earthquake started, all of a sudden junior said it was all dark, and he tries to ask Magarette who was next to him and where they were, Junior turned on his cell to see around him, both of them were trapped, but they were saved by the table, because miraculously they ended up under the table. And Magarette’s nephew was under the bed. They screamed all they could, and called out for help but nothing.., because in less than 30 sec. all the country was in total chaos.

I am with Brother Junior he is my son in faith

Jean Alix Lusma , made an emergency team right after the quake hit. We went to rescue them ASAP. Without any concern for gas, or money because the country was not operational, everything was shut down.

As you can see on the picture the lady who’s talking to me, name Mireille her nickname is Michou lost her only child and her sister was rush to the hospital with a broken leg and both her child lost on the quake also. Send a gift to her to rebuilt her Life back she is a very faith full member her father is one of our elder. She has an other sister who lost the only 2 Kids she has too, pray and give encouragement with gifts. I would to help them built a House for their family let me know what are you can do?

Quick Answer... Right now we are totally focused on continue take care of the Victims of the quake. And, taking care of the refugees who have already made it to Les Cayes. Alix has fed over 150,000 people the past 2 weeks . Also, we are feeding the patients in the hospitals and medical staff. In Haiti the hospitals dont feed their patients...and a refugee who has no means to get meals. The medical staff at the local hospital is working 24 hours...we are feeding them during their break time. We are harboring over 100 refugees at our main compound at the moment and expect more. Taking care of the refugees who have lost everything and

are now returning to their hometowns has become our mission. The good news is after the Quake , I baptized 30th people who accepted Christ . some of them were refugees from Port-_au-Prince . God is adding to his church daily
