update on Haiti
Please continue to pray for Haiti and our family there. The price of food is extremly high, a small bag of rice that could feed one person is about 1 or two American dollars. That is about 1 weeks wages. Our family is in desperate need for food, Benssy and I are doing what little we can but it is not enough. Things have gotten even worse after Hurrican Faye hit Haiti. It killed several people and destroyed rice fields, that adds to the rising price of food. Please pray and if you feel lead to help with food let me know. Thank you so much for your prayers, Our God is the Great Provider and He is Faithful
