Isaac

Thank you to many who were praying for our staff and friends in Haiti over the weekend with Tropical Storm Isaac passing by Haiti.  We were without internet for 5 days so we are just now getting good enough internet connection to fill you all in.

The children in both Good Samaritan homes are all doing great!  The boys home needed repair on a section of the roof and the rack holding the batteries that give their house power when there is no city power needed to be replaced.  At the girls home, the 500 gallon water tank blew from the roof into the yard.  No other issues.  No injuries.  Praise God!

Driving into Canaan, you wouldn't know a tropical storm even blew through.  Some families that were still living in tents moved into the church building for a few days, but now are either back at their own property or are with other friends/family.  A few tin pieces were out of place.  You wouldn't know a tropical storm blew through.  Looking around the homes, it is evident God protected these people!  Praise God!

The AWAKENHAITI staff are all great!  absolutely no problems at the guest house as far as damage.  City power has been off since Friday which means the generator has been getting a work out and we will be using more diesel for a while.  Thankfully it is running well and doing it's job.  Actually, it also means that a few of us have been sharing the responsibility of waking during the night to run it...we feel kind of like parents of a newborn.  Today (Wednesday) is the first day of having internet so we are able to start keeping up with emails, updates and other work.  We're blessed to have a home we're so secure in.  Praise God!

Thank you again for all your prayers and support!  God's provision and protection over many was evident!
