Pastor Raoul has sent a large batch of photos from Haiti. There are many updated photos from 2009 in the Mission Gallery, and a new gallery of photos taken since the earthquakes.

Raoul has also written, "We certainly live on a day to day basis. We appreciate every prayer prayed for us and I can see life is very fragile. Everyday we get up in Haiti is so meaningful. Thank the Lord!"

The "crisis board for relief " at CFM is pleased to submit this request for assistance in this time of crisis and trouble to help the victims of the earthquake in our area. We are desperate for the following items in order to respond to the needs of the population.

Western Haiti was hit again this morning with a magnitude 6 earthquake. Pastor Raoul sent this response to inquiries about it:

January 17, 2010: The following are excerpts from an email from Pastor Raoul sent on Saturday, January 16:

Thank the Lord we are much better now however, my body still in pain. Elsie was not hurt and the children were not in Haiti.

Thank you very much for the love you have shown us. I don't think I will be able to tell you about all the situations now. However, I am going to tell you what I think I can remember.

Dear friends around the world:

My trip to Michigan this past winter was great.  I met so many friends, even though my trip was short, I enjoyed myself anyway.  I was able to raise some finances to work on our new church facility.

There is still some hunger, we are in contact with the "U.N. World Food Program" to get help to feed as many children as possible in some of the school in our region.
