Brothers and Sisters, It is Wed., Oct. 31st. and still raining…it has been like this since past Sunday. Tropical Storm Noel hit our Island during the weekend and the results are devastating and critical. The main cities affected are: Santo Domingo, San Cristobal, Bani, Azua, Ocoa and Bonao. Here are some official numbers:56 people dead27 dissappeared682 rescued

21 bridges washed out

52 communities incommunicated

17,895 people in shelters/schools

40,433 people with families or friends

13,921 homes affected partially

661 homes totally affected

I have been taking water out of my apartment since Sunday and non stop, but I am okay and dry. This is not important when I see the tv news and when I went and visited some of the many people, friends, my bothers and sisters in such a critical situation without home, shelter, clothes, a bed to sleep, a blanquet for the cold/and mosquitoes, shoes, food, medicines, etc. Here is when my heart warms up and stops crying and puts hands to the work and help as much as I can. I will visit tomorrow Thursday some of our friends at the Bateyes San Jose and Las Javillas. I do not know if I can get there since my truck is 2×2 and I will need a 4×4 to go in due to the roads and mud. If not I will rent a bigger truck and go and see how our friends are and how we can help them too. Our brothers and sisters in Bani are doing okay, I spoke with Pastor Richard and he said is okay, just a member of his church that his home suffered a little. Pastor Valera of San Juan de la Maguana is doing okay too. Church families and neighbors are okay, the normal situation with some home flooded but nothing bigger than that thanks to God. I also spoke today with Pastor Marino from Iglesia Bautista Vida Eterna and he said that everyone is okay. He is a little sick with a cold from Sunday when he got wet helping others. Rev. Pierre Espadi, from Haitian Baptist Association said that he is okay and his family. He has not had any communication yet with some of the Bateyes in risk, but he will call today to know about them.

Many friends and churches have called me or written an email asking how they can help, my answer is pray and give. We need to buy beds/mattress, bed clothing, clothes for the people, shoes, medicines, construction material to rebuild some homes, etc. If you can send some of this through “barrels” door to door it will be good, If you want to send money you can do so too. Do checks under my name and on the memo line please make sure it says: “Storm Noel” and I will know what to do. My mailing address is:

Prayer for La Iglesia Bautista El Redil and Pastor Jacqueline

Please be in prayer for La Iglesia Bautista El Redil and Pastor Jacqueline in San Cristobal Dominican Republic. We are beginning a sister church relationship with them as we continue to walk the journey of faith. One of their biggest needs is a new church building to meet in.
