Today, I have gotten several texts concerning our safety in Haiti with the recent kidnapping of 17 Americans that were coming from an orphanage in Ganthier Haiti which is closer to Fond Parisian. Please keep those people and their families in your prayers.
We are far removed from any current gangs that are kidnapping people. I am not saying that cannot happen even in Camp Marie, but the mayor has remained very intolerant to such behavior in her community. Ganthier is about 3 hours from us toward the DR border.
Please continue to keep Haiti in your prayers. Pray that the multiple gang issues get resolved. While we hear about the Americans, hundreds of Haitians (600+ in one report) have gotten kidnapped so far this year. Some of these we hear about, others we do not. The current situation in Haiti is a humanitarian crisis I think.
However God still has a plan for Haiti.
