Families continue to flee as the gang advances north. The national police, locals, and mountain people engage in fighting with the gang every day, but the gang is gaining control of more neighborhoods. There are now 130 people taking refuge in a church in our community and another 120 that have been taken in by families in the community.
We are so grateful for the support that we have received since our last update. Over $3,000 has come in to provide food relief to these families that have fled their homes. We have purchased food and are providing that to the church and families who are caring for these displaced families. Thank you for standing with us in prayer!
Haiti, with pressure from the international community, has begun the election process. The goal is to place a president in power in February of next year. For over a year, a nine-person presidential committee has been in charge of the country. We pray that a new leader can be put in place to guide the country to peace and a stronger future.
