Haiti- a tremendous opportunity (UPDATED)

In the last 24 hours, a tremendous opportunity opened up for Double Harvest Haiti.

the Haitian government is placing 400,000 homeless near Double Harvest.

“PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti  —  Within days, the government will move 400,000 people made homeless by Haiti’s epic earthquake from their squalid improvised camps throughout the shattered capital to new resettlement areas on the outskirts, a top Haitian official said Thursday.

Authorities are worried about sanitation and disease outbreaks in makeshift settlements like the one on the city’s central Champs de Mars plaza, said Fritz Longchamp, chief of staff to President Rene Preval.

“The Champ de Mars is no place for 1,000 or 10,000 people,” Longchamp told The Associated Press. “They are going to be going to places where they will have at least some adequate facilities.”

He said buses would start moving the displaced people within a week to 10 days, once new camps are ready. Brazilian U.N. peacekeepers were already leveling land in the suburb of Croix des Bouquets for a new tent city, the Geneva-based intergovernmental International Organization for Migration reported Thursday.” via newsreport

This will be a huge opportunity to share the Gospel.

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE GOD’S HAND AT WORK!

*one other prayer request.  My parents are currently in flight to the Dominican Republic, from there they will drive to Haiti.  They were able to bring needed supplies for my Uncles that are currently there, and much needed medicine for the clinic.  Please remember them in your prayers!  Thank YOU!*

*update- my parents have landed in the D.R. and will drive to Double Harvest tomorrow.*
