Tropical Storm Isaac

Please pray for Haiti over the next few days- rains expected to start falling soon from what was expected to be Hurricane Isaac and continue through Sunday.  Here are some images from photos I took in the last three months alone!  (I have many like this)  MANY in Haiti are living under tarps or in areas prone to flooding and are in dangerous situations.  Pictures make it that much more real.....

Here is part of the large tent city as you enter Croix de Bouquet.  The tarps are nicer now in some areas but still tarps.

In the city- Port au Prince by the hospital.  

North of the city- going toward St. Marc-  these little villages are all over.

And so are these houses.  

I know the family that lives in this house well.  They do have another house on the property but it's dirt and rock.  This is more the kitchen but I am sure they use it for sleeping too.  

This is the tent community in Carrefour as you travel along the beach road.  

This is the home of one of my friends- pretty sturdy, but still scary with the winds and rain that is expected.  In July we had a quick wind gust in Carrefour and it knocked an almond tree over (like the one in the back of this house) and it fell on someone's small tent home.  It was really interesting yet scary to see how quickly things can happen and the damage that can be done.  Luckily no one was hurt and the house was fine.  Praise God.  

PLEASE continue to remember these people in your prayers!  Not only through the hurricane, but ongoing.  And if you ever want to go/serve in Haiti let us know- we would love to have you join us on a trip.  Mesi!
