SDB Connections in Haiti

by Kevin Butler
From Pastor Andrew Samuels, Miami SDB Church:

I have been trying since Wednesday to reach on the phone Pastor Jean Lucas Julien, the pastor of the SDB Church in Haiti. There has been no success, so we have no word as yet from him, his family, or his Church. I'll keep trying to make contact.

In the meantime, both the Miami and Fort Lauderdale SDB Churches are collecting non-perishable food items, clothing, toiletries, and cash which will be sent as soon as relevant information is ascertained.
Our main prayer request at this time is to hear from Pastor Julien, and that he, his family, and people are safe.

The Miami Church has 3 members who are of Haitian background and origin, and several others who are regular attenders. All of them have been affected in some way. One of our attenders has lost at least two cousins, one of whom was a 6-year old girl. This attender also knows someone who lost their home, who lives very close to where Pastor Julien's Church and school are.
Another attender's home that was in the town of Carrefour, the earthquake's epicenter, has been destroyed. For others, they have relatives missing.

The disaster is one of monumental proportions, but we have a Sovereign God, who is still in control.
