PRAISE GOD!!! Jim just got a report that Sherry Fausey, our school/orphanage director, in Port-au-Prince and all the children but one ARE ALIVE!!!!!
As best we know, only one young boy (about 7th grade) named Peterson didn't make it out before the collapse of the building. Peterson has been with Sherry for many years and knew the Lord. We received the report via Facebook from another missionary named Karen Bultje in the area. The house collapsed, but THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING WE JUST BUILT STOOD!! It is one of the only ones in the area still standing!! .That is about all we know right now. Obviously there is still great danger of loss of life, so keep praying. Food, water, disease, lack of medical attention are just a few of the issues. I understand that we have a team of 4 or 5 from Georgia trying to get in to Sherry right now, but they have closed the airport. This team is led by Beaver Brooks, the gentleman that brought help into our missionaries in Gonaives after the storm of 2008. Hold them up in your prayers. Also, please continue to pray for my brother Jim Hambrick as he makes decisions on our next Actions steps to help in Haiti.

Right now, it looks like the only people we will take in for the next month are small medical teams. That is the greatest need right now. There is also no place/ food/ water/ supplies for mission teams - so it is going to be tough. If you are medically trained and interested in serving on a team, let me know. I will keep you posted on when we can take others in to help. I will send another email soon with how we can get directly in to these people. Thank you for your prayers!!!! God is Faithful!

Hallelujah!!!!

GOD IS FAITHFUL!
