February 22, 2010 – Monday 6:44am (Haiti Time) – Bon Repos, Haiti – Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe
This morning (4:36am)Haiti had another quake of 4.7. It was reported as “mild”. In a place where so many building are severely damaged, no quake is “mild”. The quake woke our whole village including me! Having been through many quakes – any quake is alarming because once the shaking begins, one does not know when or how severe it is going to be. In the case of this quake, I felt 4 distinct shakes and then, thank the Lord, it was over! As I just mentioned, so many building are severely damaged, there are collapes occuring quite often. The building that housed our Voyager Depot Repair Station is about to collapse. Everything has been removed to another building that is damaged, but according to engineers can be supported and saved. Today, the demolition process will begin on the Voyager / food depot. It’s sad, because that building was completed less than a year ago. Today, we continue our Voyager repair transfer, and PRAISE GOD – we have 10 Voyagers to deploy. We’ve been taking names and checking out locations. So glad the Air Mobile mission plane is available to transport these “life-saving” devices!! Thank you again for your prayer and support to this vital project!! The progress on rebuilding the village is going quite well. The front wall and gate have been completely repaired. All of the children, still in Barbara’s care, are sleeping indoors now. About 7:00pm last night, a light rain began to fall. I thought of the million plus people sleeping in make-shift “tents” and the inevitable mud and disease.
PLEASE continue to PRAY for Haiti! There is so much to be done!
