The ROCK is still standing!

We have received some incredible news this evening!!! First, Gary was able to speak directly with his mom!! Communication lines are open!!! It was so wonderful to hear her voice!! She reported that 2 of our young men from "The ROCK" mission base in Croix Des Bouquets got up early this morning and walked all the way to the town of Careffour (a 10 hour walk) to go see about Gary's mother!! Bless them, Lord! They told her that everyone back at the base is alive and well! The new school building (with freshly poured concrete roof done the day before the quake), the church, and the mission house are all still standing, even the old school building, no damage!!!!!!! Alleluia! Unfortunately, we can't say the same about everything else in the area..... Everything has been flattened! All except one little house and this was the house we built for the family with 6 children that were sleeping under a tree!!!!! THIS IS TRULY A MIRACLE FROM GOD!

A bit later, Gary was able to get in touch with Bolivar, our director in Haiti!! They talked for almost an hour, praising God!! He was so excited to hear from us and visa versa!! :) He told us that when the earthquake hit, they were in the middle of the 4-6pm prayer set!
He also said that everyone that has any connection with BMO is fine; teachers, workers, and all their families! I JUST CAN’T STOP GIVING HIM PRAISE!!!! Bolivar did say that a portion of the wall that surrounds the property has collapsed in the front and rear of the property. Repairs are needed immediately for security reasons.

What's next? God willing, Gary is scheduled to go to Haiti on January 22. He will be there for 2 weeks. Bolivar and the others are so excited and encouraged that he's coming in spite of the situation!! The people’s hearts are tender; Bolivar said the people want to receive Jesus before you can even open your mouth!

So what can you do to help? The greatest need right now is prayer and financial support. Gary wants to get the whole community together, to cook for them and feed them. He wants to provide water for them, which will require gas to run the generator to pump water from our well. He also wants to help rebuild the area, and most importantly, share with the people how good our God is! There are 2 ways to help financially. You can either go to our paypal link on our website at www.bethelmissionoutreach.org OR you can mail donations to BMO, PO Box 391, Morrow, GA 30260. 100% of the proceeds will go to relief efforts in Haiti and all donations are tax deductible.
Prayer requests: Please continue to pray for the nation of Haiti and all the people that are suffering!! The relief efforts have just begun. It will take months if not years to bring this country back on its feet. Jesus loves the Haitian people and has not forgotten them! Please pray also for safety as Gary goes and ministers! THANK YOU!

Committing all things into His hands,
Linda
