Life on the ground in Haiti has not changed much in the past couple weeks. LHM has gotten occasional food and supplies through various sources, but no more large shipments from the military have arrived. Some of the more recent developments are:
1. Checks can now be cashed, which allows LHM to purchase some supplies and pay the staff
2. LHM has just finished 5 days of prayer for Haiti, with specific prayers for God to realign the earth under Haiti so the tremors will cease
3. The tremors have finally been decreasing in frequency and severity this week (per a discussion I just had with Mary Jane today)
4. Everyone is still living outside -- they have been advised not to go into buildings yet
5. We have shipped some supplies in from the US and are waiting to see how well that process works
6. Pastor Bob Carpenter is now scheduled to arrive in Haiti on Tuesday for a reconnaisance mission. Pleas pray for safety and success for this mission -- it has been delayed twice so far.
7. It is still unclear when school will resume. The government first said schools should open March 1, then said schools cannot open until they have been inspected. In any case, Andris does not believe they will be ready by March first since
building repairs are necessary -- and the repairs cannot begin until the earth is stable.
Paul's instructions to the Colossians are applicable to us today, both in the US and Haiti. "Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too,that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ.." Through this earthquake and the aftermath, God has opened a door for His gospel to be spead further in Haiti and elsewhere.
