We were safe and sound with no problems. Because we could not leave the compound we had a worship service with all of the staff and our group. Of course, Chip was disappointed that he led a bible study for 20 instead of preaching to 2,000 at a First Baptist Church. Clay led the music and we really did have a special time of worship. We had special prayer for the areas of Haiti up north that were hit the hardest.
Over 40,000 people are homeless and there are dead animals and flooded roads every where. The stores are running out of food and there is no way to get it to them at this time. We had some relief workers trying to go up through the mountains to get there with food and clothing. It is a desperate situation. 300 children were dropped at an orphanage and one of their leaders was telling us they didn’t know how they would take care of them. The children were simply found in the street and no one knows what happened to their parents. PLEASE be in prayer for Northern Haiti.
By afternoon they have the road in front of our compound open. We spent most of the day sorting clothes to be passed out to the hurricane victims. All together we made up 183 bags of clothes and several more bags of miscellaneous items. We had a good assembly line going and got a lot of work done.
This afternoon we are taking it easy, it is the Sabbath, and getting ready for tomorrow. We are going to work in the morning at the medical clinic and then hopefully be able to get to the church to do some painting. It is cloudy and windy, but the rains have stopped for now. We are thinking of you and praying that all went well in worship this morning. We will keep you updated on how things are going.
On a personal note, Hi Dawn, Alyssa, and Andrew I love you!! (Hey I am the person blogging so I can say what I want)
Thanks for your prayers,
Chip and the Haiti team

Every venue of prayer that WRBC collectively and individually can muster is being lifted. We thank and praise God for what He is doing thru you and ask Him for your safe keeping.
