Hey everyone,
I pasted a map of Haiti so that you all would know where Jacmel is in respect to Port Au Prince. Nixon and I also pasted a link to an interview with abc 7, local news--although it should be seen in parts of New Mexico as well.
We are hopefully making an impact for the people of Jacmel. The world is hearing about Port Au Prince but Jacmel desperately needs help as well. Jacmel is only 25 miles from Port Au Prince but on a normal day, with not so good roads as well as a winding out of the way road through the mountains, driving time is about 3 hours.
As I said yesterday, this is our goal for now, please let us know if you have any connections. If we can get a platform to say a few words on tv, radio, local groups, churches, that would be a blessing to the people of Jacmel, Haiti. There is lots of suffering going on there, needs for meds and food and water, as well as many deaths to report.

Thanks to God we did hear from Mackenson. He is fine, and was in the north of Haiti where the Quake was not felt. Praise the Lord that he is fine. He was encouraged by our amazing JIH team to stay with his family.
The boys are in Seguin, JIH Director sent them with money for transportation as well as help for their families. We are so thankful. Seguin is relatively close to Port Au Prince as well and is high in the mountains. We pray that their families are allright. You can look on the mountains for Seguin. Nixon pinpointed it between Kenscoff and Marigot, under the capital of Port Au Prince.

Our team members on the ground in Port Au Prince are continuing emergency aid efforts and are looking after Haitian staff familie's needs.
Today the team cleaned out our guest house, taking sheets and any supplies that could be found. I wish we could get them those ibuprofen and Tylenol that you folks have collected. God knows.
We recieved a call today regarding Nixon possibly going with an organization into Jacmel from the U.S. That fell through and we trust that God didn't let it happen for a reason. Although I have to say that I was disappointed. Nixon and I are torn that we cannot be there with the people of Haiti.
The team on the ground in Port Au Prince have their hands full but I hope to know more soon about the people of Jacmel's wellbeing. My heart breaks for Lucette and her 4 children as well as for Madam Robert, Lancia's baby boy, and our dear elderly friends. We will know more soon.
Nixon and I learned that there are many dead in Jacmel. We don't have any sort of number to report as of now, nor do we have names.

Nixon's concern rises for civil unrest in the country. He fears that desperation, along with the Haitian government's silence, can cause the people to act foolishly. Please pray that God would keep the people calm.

We need the money to keep flowing in so I am posting the information as to how to give to the people of Jacmel. Please give what you can.
