Lodging options while on short-term missions trips.

There is a new resort nearby the two new Nazarene Churches that I would recommend for lodging. It is called New Kiskeya. Click here if you would like to check it out.

Thanks!!!

All alone without hope - God met her need through you!

I would like to thank each and every one who prayed for the people and gave to assist in the relief efforts. I cannot begin to list all who helped. Because of everyone's efforts, a lot of people have been fed, have found support, and have been introduced to the Lord. We assisted with travel assistance, tents, food, chickens, the establishment of a clinic, and the water project is underway. We were able to give aid and comfort, advice and encouragement in the name of the Lord.

Our work does not end here. We will continue these projects and others including building a school and churches.

From NCN Global News Summary

The following story appeared in the March 12 edition of the NCN Global News Summary:

San Diego pastor leading SoCal team in Haiti
San Diego, California

Antony Duclos, Haitian congregation pastor at the San Diego Mid-City Church of the Nazarene, is currently leading a group of Southern California District Nazarenes on a mission trip to Haiti. According to the church, Duclos has a "huge heart for missions" and has traveled to several countries with churches showing the JESUS Film. There are two congregations in Haiti that were started by him before he left to come to the U.S. that recently have become fully organized Nazarene congregations. The congregations were meeting under trees, but still number in the 200-300's.

A report from the church states these are churches that were further out and away from the epicenter of the earthquakes, however, many of these families lost loved ones - and most had children in school in Port-au-Prince when the tragedy happened. Not all have been located, many are still in need, and "Pastor Antony" is on a mission to reach them as well.

Several Nazarene congregations in California have participated in raising funds for the specific needs of these Nazarenes that Pastor Antony will be helping.

For more on this and other Haiti projects from the church (including updates from the trip), see the following web site: haitinewnazarenes.blogspot.com.

The Mid-City Church is a multi-congregation church with seven languages represented in seven different congregations united in one place serving together. For more on this church, see midcitynazarene.org.

Antony wishes to thank all who have contributed to make his trip possible. He will be traveling up to the Northern part of Haiti to visit the churches there and further assess the needs. Some of his luggage (clothing) was misdirected but he continues on, undaunted. Please pray for safe travels and God's grace & comfort as he meets with his family and remembers those who were injured or have perished in the earthquake. Prayers are requested for stability in Haiti, as some who have provided order and channels for resources, leave the country.

News Update from the Operation Jericho Team

Hi,

We are moving along well. The guys have been working to get the church (Marlic Nazarene Church up on the hill) and moving rock to rebuild one of the walls that is down just behind the work and witness house on campus. Tomorrow we are all going to do some touring of the worst hit areas in Port au Prince and work our way to pick up 3 of the ladies at Leogane. Friday we will all be working to get the Marlic Church all painted.

Bob

Some of the girls are working in Belair, which is in downtown PAP and some have gone to Leogane to work in a clinic. We have seen over 600 patients in 2 days. We have seen extensive damage as we drive along and the streets are in places wall to wall people. They are afraid to go into any building so they stay outside. We have seen numerous tent cities. It is heart wrenching and our prayer is that we can touch the lives of those Haitian's we come in contact with.

Amy

See you all soon,
Love from Haiti
