As Hurricane Gustav passed through Haiti, most of Recprocal Ministries Sister Churches seem to have been spared. There have been some reports of flooding and some livestock that has been killed. However I haven't heard anything of any deaths.
Gary McLaughlin took a trip out to Tiburon on Sunday with another missionary here on their motorcycles. Gary says that the trip was a very hard one because the road is simply gone in many places. The Haitians are very resilient when it comes to making things "sort of work". We don't know if the government will do anything to repair the roads before Crossroad United Methodist makes their trip in October, but if not we hope that the Haitian people can do something. I will keep posting updates as I receive them.
