Great news from Haiti: 500 gallons of fresh water and 500 meters of material for blankets arrived safely in Jacmel late last evening, but it was not easy getting them there. Our associate from the Domincan Republic reports: Hello Pastor Sam good morning,

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 PM we left to Pedernales, the Dominican town in the border with Haiti closer to Jacmel. It was a LONG trip, the truck we had was not able to run like my 4 runner so we had to slow down and took us 6 hours to get there. The door to enter into Haiti was already closed, the Commander General of the DR army told us there was no way he would let us cross the border so late because of the danger on the other side of the Fence. We in fact witness how a man was being rob just meters away from us, it was scary. Silo a Haitian Man who is Wilson's Contact was talking to me all the way to Pedernales, he was waiting patiently for us from 6:00 PM , he came with two other helpers.

The conclusion was we had to leave all the water and the fabric at the army station for the night. I just talk to Silo few minutes ago and he is already in the boat on his way to Jacmel with everything. I returned To Santo Domingo right away and got here at about 4:00 AM. I need to be in Santiago this afternoon for a Team that is coming to do some work. Your friend Ernest Taylor is leading it.

Thank you for making me part of this great opportunity to help the Haitians. I will let you know when the tents are available!

Much Blessings

Nelson
