Thursday, January 14Friends around the globe,
It's only been 24 hours since the devastating earthquake close to
Port-au-Prince. This is what we know and can pass on accurately at this
time.
We have 5 national families associated with NMSI in Haiti. We have heard from Mioche Rock and family in Pignon (the central highlands area) and they are fine. They have family in Port-au-Prince who they are concerned about. Nego and Ellen Pierre-Louis in Jacmel are fine. We have not heard from Sainsurin Jean-Baptiste
in Gonaives, however, I have heard from other sources that the area is
fine and was not greatly impacted by the earthquake. We have not heard
from Jean Martin Etienne and family, who live on the west side of Port-au-Prince, closest to the epicenter. We have also not had any contact with Leonel Raphael
and family who also live in Port-au-Prince. Please pray specifically
for these families—their health and safety and also their opportunity
to minister and witness in the face of this catastrophe.
(Mike Osborn, NMSI Haiti Field Advisor)
Mioche Rock, NMSI national missionary from Pignon, Haiti, reported that he had just heard from Leonel
Raphael's brother outside of Washington D.C. who reported that Leonel,
his wife Carlette and their children are okay. Leonel was outside of
the capital when the earthquake hit. A tree fell on their house and it
collapsed. Carlette and kids spent first night on street but are okay.
The Rocks have not had any contact with them since an early morning
brief e-mail but we know they are alive.
