Manna Global Update -A Week After the Quake

We appreciate all of your prayers and concerns for our efforts to support Haiti! I will try to catch you up on what has happened over the past couple of days.

We were informed that the borders between Haiti and the Dominican Republic were wide open and supplies could be brought through this way. A successful delivery to the border was made on Sunday night and Roberta and 4,000 lbs. of supplies made it safely back to her home (Sonlight Children's Home). The supplies that she received have been a blessing to all she has been in contact with and serves.

Our Diahatsu truck is finding a new home in Haiti (the borders are currently open with no one stopping supplies or vehicles of supplies entering, so this is the time to get it through. The paperwork for this transfer any other given day would take months to complete). Norm and Holly drove it to Santo Domingo and picked up Monica from the airport and Brian from the bus station. They loaded it with pounds and pounds of supplies. Say a prayer for them before you go to sleep tonight that they have a safe trip over the border and Norm has a safe trip back to Rio San Juan. We will be purchasing a new Diahatsu for the MannaDR compound sometime this week.

The full amount of each of your Haiti donations (100%) have been helping buy supplies including fuel, gas, food, tents, water, etc. for those suffering in Haiti. We are continuing to find ways we can be of service! The Lord has blessed us so much with safe trips and exchanges of goods. Please continue to be in prayer that the borders will stay open.

It is important for each of us to recognize that the need for clean water, food, medical assistance, and other things that sustain life will not end in a month or even six months. We are committed to staying focused on the needs of those in Haiti for as long as we are needed.
