Today 2 truckloads of supplies came in from the Dominican Republic.
I think it was Wednesday, our friend, Jimmy, who works with Richard in YABT (Young Americas Business Trust) called and said his classmate that he had in an online school in 2006 contacted him to say that he had collected some supplies for people in Haiti--especially for orphanages. His name is Carlos Levy.
So many things that people have wanted came on those trucks! We had gone the other day to try to buy baby formula for people in this area, but the warehouse-type store wasn't open yet. Today the Dominicans brought 100 boxes of formula! Several different orphanages and camps are benfitting. There were a lot of medical supplies, blankets, sheets, towels, personal products (people have really been asking for these) clothes and shoes.
We had mentioned some people for prayer yesterday, like Cado Marcel, whose family still thinks she's dead. She was pulled out of the rubble with nothing and our friend Mme. Levy has been helping her with a few things. But there was nothing for her to sleep on, so Mme Levy just gave her some clothes to sleep on. Now we have blankets and sheets to give her! She also needed shoes and we got some for her. Our friend Venita who is living with us needed shoes too and she got some along with more diapers. God is providing!
We had great meetings today with Pat & Walt Stuart of CrossWorld about debriefing/counseling, etc. Very helpful. Maybe I'll get to share more later.
But, we are fasting, as I had shared yesterday and we're off the the memorial service.
