I was blessed to be able to speak with Michael a few times last week and over the weekend. As stated before, the Arris family has been "cooped up" in their home since Wed. 12/8 due to the political unrest in the country and rioting. Please pray that this will calm down soon. I know of one group of missionaries who is "stuck" in Haiti because they were to fly out via American Airlines and American has cancelled all flights since the 8th to and from Haiti. I also know of TWO teams who were to arrive - one on the 10th and one on the 11th who were unable to travel to Haiti to minister. I have another friend on the ground (she was to lead the team coming on the 10th) and she says things are calming down, but another announcement is due to be made today so who knows?
My main reason for writing and telling you all of this is to inform you of the status of Haiti so you can pray but it is also to ask you to prayerfully consider sending a financial donation to Pastor Jean Duval. He needs to pay the teachers again at the end of December (in 2 weeks) and he has missed work in Port au Prince SIX days so far since the last time he paid them. This means he has lost income for those six days but his expenses continue to remain the same. We are praying he can return to Port au Prince this week to work, but that is still uncertain.
If you would like to help, please contact us via the form on the website OR e-mail us. We can help you send money to Pastor Jean Duval and bless this family as they put the children first once again- making sure their teachers and staff at the school are taken care of. It is estimated that he will need about $500 US to make payroll.
THANK YOU- for your prayers for this ministry! -Crystal
