Isaac update...

Still have not heard from some of the people I know in Haiti, but wanted to give you a bit of a follow-up.  I have heard from some of my translators and friends.  One had their tarp blow apart/rip and had significant wind/rain damage to their house (photo below- same house as the bottom photo of my last post).  One has had two different families whose tarps/tent home blew apart come to live with him.  His apartment has grown   to 10 people in a matter of a few hours.  Another has been helping survey the area around his home for damage and offering to help his neighbors where he and his family can. Still no word from Chaveneau, from Jean Bernard (probably won't hear from anyone about him to be honest), no word from the girls who left the orphanage yet, etc... So I am asking that you continue to pray.  There is a LOT of clean up needed.  I did talk to Redgi and he said in his neighborhood there was severe wind damage as well.  Thanks for the e-mails, phone calls and facebook messages asking about the situation.  And THANK YOU to those who have donated toward our December construction trip so we can get a family into a better living situation.  Yes, it's only one family, but to that family it will mean SO MUCH.  We are still a long way from our goal though- please pray about whether or not you would like to help out.  heartsunitedwithhaiti.org (go to the "donate" page and follow directions to either donate online or to send in a check/money order- remember it is tax deductible and will be used to bless MANY- thanks)

Notice how the tarp separated and let water in (the blue tarp in the background- kind of to the right- was also covering the house but blew off).  This is the same house in my post below at the bottom.  When asked how much was damaged they said, "We had very bad damage.  We need to repair a lot."  This breaks my heart- they are a family who has already been through enough yet their faith remains strong.
