Dear Brothers in Christ,
Earthquake
Greetings brothers and sisters in the grace of the Lord, as many of you are aware, speaking about south Haiti is a direct reference to the Church of Christ. In south Haiti. We have been in service for more than 30 years, we are currently present in 10 different areas, with more than ten churches of Christ, an orphanage, and a school. You can truly understand the earthquake's impact on our infrastructures, we have lost three dear members of our churches, many buildings and churches were destroyed as well. Many of our church members were seriously wounded, and some have lost a limb and are currently handicapped.
We have lost our guest house which housed our missionaries in the past. The guest house was able to host a medical clinic and serve the sick, but our materials were destroyed under the rubble, the guest house was able to host a radio station, however, the radio equipment was destroyed. The basement of the guest house host several machines to provide clean water to the community, however, the earthquake destroyed it as well. The basement was able to store goods for the churches and the school, such as equipment, food, and school supplies.
This picture is after the earthquake, it was a guest house that was built to receive our visitors, it was also a hospital to treat our brothers and sisters. It also had a radio station to broadcast the gospel in the area, in the basement, we had a small water purification machine for industry. However, everything was destroyed by the earthquake.
The picture above was how the Guest House looked before the earthquake. If you look closely, you can see the radio tower on top, the guest house was a two story building. We need to rebuild it and continue with our service to the community. We understand such a large building will take time and that is why we need to begin now.
The Churches of Christ in South Haiti is currently feeding the people after the earthquake, feeding the hungry, and healing the wounded and the sick with medicine. We cook a lot of food and bring the meals to a group of families in open fields, they cannot stay inside due to damaged houses, and we bring the food to them, however, we are lack
In resources to continue in our effort, we have some repairs to do on our churches.
