I received this on Tuesday from my friend Linda at Haiti Foundation of Hope. Interestingly enough there was a segment on the flooding in Gonaives Haiti on the news last nite.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Delamy just called and said that there is no communication now with Gonaives (18 km from Terre Blanche) …. The flooding is more severe and extensive than in 2004. He doesn’t know anything now about the clinic. Cell phones cannot be charged in Gonaives and they are losing contact with the world. He said the area in Gonaives where our clinic administrator and nurse live is in grave danger. It is much too dangerous to try to get to the clinic. Twice today he talked with Pastor Barthelmé and he reported “My life is in great danger.” He talked with his sister-in-law in Port-au-Prince (PAP) and the rain has not stopped yet … PAP is dangerous, no one is going out.
I also just received the following from another Free Methodist missionary in Haiti:

Dear Friends,

> pastors are calling to report that the rain is continuing; the floods

> water, and due to not being able to charge phones, we are losing
> contact. The pastors are crying for prayer.
> Thank you.
> For His kingdom to fully come to Haiti and the world,
> Jeanne and Jack
> Pastor Jeanne
Love,
Linda
