Haiti As It Is

Blessing for a new day. Please continue to pray for the survival of the children of Haiti, especially the infants living in Tents. Port Au Prince receive the greater amount of damage as was reported. 95 % or more of the damage buildings have not been touched since the earthquake. Many of the victims bodies are still trapped in those buildings. Starting with the government buildings, the Treasury etc. The stench is suffocating. About 15 miles outside the city of Port au Prince is the City of Kenscoff. Church of God of The Alliance has a mission of School and Orphanage. All the children are presently living in Tents.

Kenscoff is about 13 thousand ft above sea, which means it get cold in the evening and morning. Its now their rainy season, which makes the temperature cooler than normal. I just sent thousand US dollars to them on tuesday after my arrival. The need is tremendous and will be there for a while.

We are so thankful for your generous support, you have made a difference in the lives of many people.

I met with the president of the Baptist Mission, they have a number of the victim of the earthquake in their small hospital. we visited and prayed with a number of the victims and gave small amount of monies to help buy food. We spent a day doing evangelism and praying for many, most of whom are christian and fellowship with them with monies. I met with the head of the senior citizen and gave them much of the medicine I brought and some monies to help their funds. Haiti is about 95% or more unemployed at this time.

There is no school in session at this time from Kindergarten to University. It is very difficult for the young people who has only one year to complete their requirements. The airport is badly damage, the cargo area is now the port of entry. The airport is braced with steel plate as you leave. Both commercial and military planes are using the same runway and docking, very fragile since you are wlking among people with machine guns.

The UN has time when they issue tickets for food to individuals. People fight so much that some leave with broken limps. Situation is desperate, no jobs, no housing, no direction being given. Please continue to pray and support Haiti.

We have made some pledges to help build the school and Orphanage, your continued support will make it possible. We are partnering with a group from Alabama, name Project K.I.D Promoting resilience for youth in disasters. Headed by Paige Ellison-Smith M.Ed.

They were hired by UN. Also another group called Children Forum, headed by Phyllis Kalifeh. located in Tallahassee, Fl We are paying for counselors to work with the children for 5 days per week. Our cost is $80.US per week.

Plus we also Provide $250.US per week for food and staffing overnight, cooking and care for 40 children at this site. We need your support here.

Paige can be reached at http://us.mc362.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=paiget2@msn.com and Phyllis at pkalifeh@thechildrensforum.com

Lets help make something positive happened for the Lord. James 1:27 I will attached the last pic of a widow who lost her husband and two children and brother from the church, we gave her a few dollars and prayed with her.

Please continue to pray for him; I am planning to leave for Haiti March 15th for a week. Bro. Wismary will leave monday the 8th. the picture are the children about 34-40 children we visited them in december of last year. Their home was destroyed and we are planning to raise up a small building to house them. Thank you for your support, please continue to support these worthy causes. Remember, when you give to the Red Cross or Crescent, it will look nice but doest not fulfill James 1:27 because the people of Haiti have not seen a penny from the red cross. also, they are only responsible to give ten per cent of what they receive to that country, and then that is to the political leaders. My prayer on-behalf of those homeless children is that God who is not a debtor to anyone will multiply blessings back to you your children, grandchildren, for healing in your personal and family life, ministry and give you favor and the blessings of health, and peace and return all you give in multiples.

Up Date-Haiti

Praise God, Praise God Multiplied Praises unto our Lord. Thank you all for your prayers and lifting up holy hands unto the Lord God. We continue to give thanks for you and families and ministries for down pouring of God the Holy Spirit for the abundance of His presence.  Thank you for your prayers for the suffering people of the world, and at this time in particular for the people of Haiti. For the tremendous out pouring of our compassion in giving and caring.

The Church, school and Orphanage have suffered great losses, they are trying to stabilize with new cement blocks, while searching for food. Yesterday he went to the Venezuela  embassy and was given a card to receive some food. Only registered non-governmental personnel were able to wait on line from 3:am in the morning. Please pray that they may be able to repeat this process so many more can be fed.

Just a short update on what we are presently doing. pastor Maxime and his father Bishop Maxime arrived in Haiti late friday night, entering thru the Dominican Rep. I spoke with him sunday and was told that he has already purchased $1,600 worth of food and distribute in the small area and church and school children, but only a very few people benefited because everything cost twice as much as when we were there a few weeks ago. We sent him another $700 dollars on monday, with the hope he can help to ease the hunger. He reported that no aid has reached that area as yet. He was encourage to go to the city and try to appeal to whom ever is distributing. We also encourage him to try and get in touch with some of our EFCA people in Cape Haitian, to see if they may have extra supplies and also able to help make some contact possible His wife also told me that she was given a hundred dollars which she will forward to him. At this time, Western Union is not charging to transfer monies to Haiti. He was able to move the 29 Orphans from the house to safer locations with few reputable families, and provided them with support; The house was badly damage. Ephesians 6:7-8 and 12 We are so grateful that God has touched so many hearts and has expressed His compassion thru them for the disastrous condition in Haiti. Things have been horrible in Haiti now for many years, and that's why so many Americans and others have been faithfully supporting them. Thank You So Very Much For the Financial and and Faithful Prayers Afforded some of the poorest people. Please pray also that the word of God will be received gladly and be effective in the lives of the adults as well as the children. We are hoping to take a small group of 3-5 people to do assessment and assistance in the coming weeks. A brother who is an Architect has volunteer to go with us. Also two building contractors, please pray for wisdom and Holy Spirit direction and additional resources.

The earthquakes has beengoing on for two weeks now and they have not received any assistance from the Red Cross or Crescent, which does not recognize churches. The scripture ask us to prefer each other, Romans 12:10 and Galatians 6:10 KJV. If you know of any doctors or nurses who would be will to give their time and skill for a few days we would be grateful. they are also in need of medical supplies, and money and food. Not only in prot au prince but in many of the surrounding areas and Cape Haitian. Proverbs 19:17 and James 1:27 bless the Lord O my soul. cal

Hi Dear Pastor, I think it's will be very good to have a medical team at Delmas for 3589 people sleep in front of our Mission's offica at delmas 75. This week we were processed with some distribution to those people. We had 759 families, 1935 children; 103 volounteers in a comitee to help with the distribution from IOM. We would like to send you severals pictures but our internet signal is very poor. as soon as possible, we will send more.

Ground Transportation Needed

Thursday, January 28, 2010 12:03 AM: Blessings to all who receive this email. While I am thanking many of you for the great way you have partner with us to assist the children and poor in Haiti; we also want to keep you informed about the progress and status of the events as we receive them. pastor Junior is the manager of the MEBI mission and Fefe is the executive of the mission. Because the mission has a history, thousand gather there and are sharing in whatever resource provided them. We had barrels of water brought to them a week ago from Kenscoff where the other mission we support is located.

Pastor Maxim'e touched down in the Dominic Republic today, and will be going to Port au Prince early in the morning. Please pray as he crosses the border which is closed. Because of his family history, he was able to make some arrangement to bring him and his father across. It is a 7 hour trip by bus, so prayerfully, he will reach port au prince by evening. pastor Maxim'e will stop by the MEBI mission and then go on to Kenscoff, about ten miles from Delmas 75 PAP. Kenscoff has been badly damage, and no assistance, food, medicine or plastic shelter has been given to them. We also support the Orphanage with 29 chilren and the school of 350 students. Special THANK YOU to pastor Michael M. and the Learning True Life Fellowship, we will be able to provide much needed help with medicine, food and relocation. Also Special Thank you to pastor Charles Brooks, he truly is walking in a vision in Baltimore,Md. and the Dickey Hill school principal Mr. Aaron Clark for supporting the children in Haiti. Please remember in a special way these two young ministries in your prayer for continue blessings and growth.

Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti. We would like you also to continue to partner with us in this compassionate ministry. We will keep you up to date as we learn more.

We will need some on ground transportation, such as an SUV 4X4 and Mini Van to move the children around. Most of Haiti's road are off road. Thanks again, and God bless you and family. In our Loving Lord, the Strong name of Jesus, Cal

Geographic Information regarding Haiti

Its now December 11, Dad and his mission crew have successfully completed their second mission trip of 2010. I felt even more honored by their dedication upon their departure. The Haiti trip lasted from December 1st - 8th.

I have communicated with Dr. Herndon at the Duke Eye Center the dire need for medicines for people with eye diseases in Haiti and Cuba. Dad's mission was intended on also reaching a specific orphanage in Cuba, however, the means to travel to Cuba at this time period is difficult. Nonetheless, Dr. Herndon was really cool about helping out. Only thing was, we were unable to secure a reputable clinical contact in time for him to connect with a source of meds. The next trip is set for May and hopefully we will be abundantly blessed by assistance from Duke and other philanthropic sources. Here is Dad's comments on the trip:

Mission Accomplished, Glory to GOD Friday, December 11, 2009 2:15 PM

Blessings, and many thanks to so many of you who assisted us in the recent mission trip to Haiti. We planned to also visit Cuba, but it was not in His will, God knows best. God used us to minister to so many needs to so many people in Haiti both in the capital of Port au Prince and in the city of Kenscoff which is about 35 miles North East of the capital. I shared in the word on three different occasions, Tuesday night, Friday night and at the Sunday morning service. Of the four of us that went on the trip, three of us stayed at the Mission/Orphanage in the capital except for one night in Kenscoff.

We were royally treated by the staff and Madam Harris and pastor Junior. I slept in the room I have slept in since I first went in 1999 and the ladies shared one room. There were three other empty beds in my room. We were served three meals per day and had full use of the facilities, telephone, Internet, piano and interaction with the children and young adults and staff. I want to mention some of the gifts we received because it tells some of what happens. Although we raise funds to help pay for our expenses, this time all the funds we raise went directly to help in Orphanages for food and staff. Thanks to Bro. Freddie Green who sends $50 from Miami, Fl this money was used to buy food for some starving children in Kenscoff. Pastor Bill Sweeting came from Vroom Street Church in NJ to give us $200, this help to pay for back wages for people working in Orphanage in Creve. Gospel Baptist Church in Richmond Hills, sent $223 which also went to pay teachers at the Orphanage. Sis Stella Smith $50 went to help buy food at Orphanage in Kenscoff.

The teachers at both the Orphanage work for less money than the teachers in other schools, as a matter of fact, pastor Junior shared with me that they are actually paid below the minimum wage at $50.US per month. When we went, they were owing the teachers 3 months in wages, and mind you, things are more expensive in Haiti's supermarket than they are in the US.

One of the most striking thing to me was 23 children in an Orphanage in Kenscoff, in a building I was afraid to walk in because of fear of getting germs. I could not hold back my tears when I saw the horrible condition of beds without mattress, falling ceiling, sun light coming thru the roof and the vermin around the walls and floors. no water system, no shower, kitchen, one out house. no window pane in some windows and no linen on beds, skimpy clothes on children.......the urgency here is to relocate them in a humane environment and to provide responsible staff to supervise them. People in general can be vulnerable in Haiti, just think what might be happening to these Orphants. The parents cant afford to take them back since they dont have the food to give them and some cases the room to keep them... It will take about $4000 to put them in a decent place, provide food and responsible staff, "everyone whose heart God has moved" Ezra 1:5

Successful Mission Trip

Dad and others ventured to Haiti in route to minister to the people of Creve. Here is a brief summary of what transpired: Blessings, I just sighed a great relief after coming down from the mountain, we left Sunday afternoon, got to a point where the police did not recommend us going ahead to Port Au prince. we checked into a hotel and left early next morning.. Sunday was election and the country was very nervious but God was with us in both going and coming. ...The Lord was really in charge of this group. most of us never met, yet we went to this foreign country, some separately, and lived together and worked together and accomplished much together under strenuous circumstances and left agreeing to do it again. Thanks for all your prayers it did help.

Please pray for Pastor Cal Dunnon -
For renewed spirits for this year, for guidance and directions and for blessings to overflow and abound. "The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." Deuteronomy 28:12-13.
Love and blessings.
