TARPS & TENTS DELIVERED TO LEOGANE

Our friends at Samaritan's Purse promised to send tarps and they came through in a big way! A huge truck carrying nearly 2000 tarps arrived at our Bethesda Ministry distribution site today. The local police were on hand to provide crowd control and everything went smoothly. I am so happy that so many more people will be sheltered from the elements tonight.

After the tarp distribution, I traveled up the mountain to see the tents generously donated to us by our friends at Mountain View church and Crossing Cultures International. They are really nice tents! With the donated funds we received, I was able to buy a total of 22 tents (3 eight-person tents, 10 five-person tents, 5 three-person tents, and 4 two-person tents) so a total of 97 people on the mountain now have new homes!!! It was so good to see them being erected. The people there are so grateful to have a place to call their own after two months of not knowing where they belonged.

I also got word today from our friend, Jay, that we can expect a container of donations to arrive from California. He was told of a container full of donations that a generous group of folks had collected but were unable to afford to ship so he got on the phone and performed one of his networking wonders, arranging for another group to ship it to us. God never ceases to surprise and amaze me in how He uses His people to accomplish the most remarkable things!


Serving Him with Joy,
