Haiti: After Hurricane Matthew

'He upholds the cause of the oppressed

and gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets prisoners free'

Psalms 146:7

We have all heard and seen some of the destruction in the wake of hurricane Matthew. Now is the time to lean on God's Word and to share God's Word! I start my trip back to Haiti tomorrow and will arrive in country Sunday. On Monday, I will meet up with 5 others and we will head up to the northwest. Some of the guys from Global Compassion Ministries will be holding a pastors conference. Yes, even with all that has gone on, and with continued clean-up and rebuilding, the local people still want to have the pastor's conference which was planned months ago. They are hungry for the Word!

The other guys, which will include myself, will be loading two trucks with Kids Against Hunger food in Port au Prince and taking them to the northwest to distribute it. It will total approximately 250,000 meals. People may ask why the northwest when the brunt of the storm and all the news coverage shows the southern part of Haiti being hit the worst? Indeed, it was hit the worst, but the effects of the hurricane run through the entire country. The flooding which destroyed gardens, damaged homes, and killed animals, will in a short time prove extremely hard for all areas of Haiti if something isn't done now. We primarily work in the northwest, so that's where we are headed. I hope to have a couple videos showing the storms effects and will post them when I get back.

Within 2 weeks, we hope to be able to send another 25,000 meals (possibly more, depending on whether we have any more to give!) to a ministry located in the south of Haiti called Charis. Depending on schedules and finances, we may go to the south along with the food, but it's not a sure thing yet.

I ask for prayers for this group of men from Global Compassion Ministries, Kids Against Hunger, and Grace Hill Ministries. That the word of God will be taught and walked as we witness for ourselves the effects of hurricane Matthew and how our Lord will use us during this time, along with His direction moving forward.

Thank you for your prayers and support. We rely totally on outside financial support in order to do the work He has laid out for us. Please consider helping us to help those that are truly in need.

In His Service,

Chuck & Gail
