Urgent Prayer Request

Apparently the generator did suffer some significant damage from its tumble down the stairs because it quit working today. They worked on it, but were unable to get it running again. They found another generator that they could borrow, but it is not working anymore either. The generator has been a vital part of the work right now and without it they will not be able to pump water needed not only for personal use for the team, but also for mixing cement for construction. Without the generator they cannot run any of the power tools needed for repairs on the building. They estimate that it could take as much as $5,800 to purchase a new generator. PRAY that God will provide this much needed resource in order to continue the work on the compound. This is a major setback in the rebuilding process, but we know that with all of your prayers, God will provide and take care of this need. The team made a trip out to Christianville today and many of the buildings there are destroyed or heavily damaged. They also went to Gran Savon to see Pastor Benito's church and the church building did have some damage, but can be repaired. So many people are homeless or afraid to go into buildings because of the aftershocks...and they did have several aftershocks today. They were able to take some food out to Gran Savon to distribute because very little food aid has made it to this area. The team was also able to talk to Gerda, the former voodoo priestess who accepted Christ this past summer. She is doing well and was praising God the whole time for His protection over her. Continue praying for everyone, some of the team will be returning to the states this weekend, but Norma, Wayne and John will be staying through the next week. They need our continued prayer because with each day, new and tougher challenges come their way.
