A Small Word... Awaiting Details

 I just received a very brief email from Haiti, a friend at the other mission in town whose internet is functioning, that the team there are all safe. There is damage though to our Technical School building. The walls are cracked and some broken. As well the perimeter wall around the property is all fallen down.

I have been waiting for word all day and to just get two lines is really frustrating. But we must trust that God has it under control. The important thing is that everyone is safe. We are praying for lines of communication to open up and I imagine that the team will be mobilizing to see what kind of aid they can provide. I have so many questions running through my mind and have been receiving calls and emails all day long from anxious parents, friends and family wanting to know more. We are all in the same boat though, having to wait. I am reassured by the verses in Psalm 62:1-2 that says "I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken." There were reports that in the stillness of the night yesterday, the only sound heard in Grand-Goave were voices of those singing to God, praising and waiting on Him for help in this time of trouble.
