 Pastors and Churches of the Lord Jesus Christ  

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ.

To show the compassion of our good God and Savior Jesus Christ we are  using  the third floor of our building and we opened our arms to receive and accommodate ten patients discharged from hospital named  Dario Contrera, with multiple injuries and leg amputations caused by knocked down buildings from the earthquake of Puerto Principe.

  I am presenting to you a brief story of some of them  that you may pray, please (pray) before the throne of grace, with knowledge,  for both their physical and emotional recovery.

Fabiola Pierre.

She is  a young lawyer, 22 years old, married and the mother of a girl who miraculously survived the earthquake.
At the time of the quake she found herself  visiting a friend on the sixth floor of a building  that collapsed. Of the 200 inhabitants of the building only three people were pulled out alive from the rubble.
Several days later, she could be transferred to Santo Domingo with a broken hip and femur.

Heavy drops of tears from her cheeks as she recounted her experience. Today feels helpless and depressed. She fights with the memories of that builing that was"jumping up and down" under her feet. Even a conctrete roof was falling on her and the family she was visiting.  She remembers the horrifying screams from those whose  bones were being crushed by the pieces of reinforced concrete that were breaking loose due to the impact of the quake.  

Mirielle Pierre.

She  is a 26 year old telling us that when the earthquake began at her home, she was on the second floor of the exclusive area of Petion Ville. That building collapsed and her body was trapped between pieces of concrete from the ceiling and floor, she suffered severe trauma to the head, her thorax  and right hand were destroyed. Doctors are making great efforts to save her  hand and avoid amputation



She tells us that there are always present in her  mind the roar of the earthquake and the cries of those who were near her. At night she awakens overwhelmed with terror amid the nightmares that assail her. She is a Christian.
When she returns to Port au Prince she is thinking of going into  a business and take a cosmotology course. Several family members died.
 
Natacha Germain

She is 24 years old, single mother of two children. At the time of the earthquake, her home collapsed and wall a trapped her on the floor breaking her femur and hip, she also suffered severe trauma to her face and skull, she is clinging to the Lord who her soul loves.

Living with fear and afraid because he thinks the earth will shake again. Several family members were killed or were severly cut.  
She dreams of returning to P-a-P to rebuild  their lives and raise her  children

Solanie Castin.

25 years old, she was inside his house when the roof and the walls began to break apart and everything fell. Of  the 7 people who were in the house, only she  and two others were found were  alive.
Her  body received several severe cuts and multiple bruises. She is an orphan and having lost her father and mother, she was living with a cousin and his family who died in the earthquake. She does not know where to go when the Lord raises her from her bed. She remains homeless and without a family. She sees her future bleak and uncertain, saying that she would not want to return to Port au Prince

 

Suzette Fanfan.

She is 33 years old, worked as a teacher in an orphanage, when the earthquake came she was working and the entire building fell on her. Several children died.
Her hip was torn into four pieces, her forearm was  broken in two,  she will will be immobile for several months. She feels very depressed and while she sleeps  she is assaulted by  nightmares of the earthquake.

Madline Etienne

She is a young 21 year old who was walking down the street. When the earthquake came shooting down, a steel grated fence fell on her, crushing  the 6-month old fetus she was carrying inside her.  She broke her hip and the fetus died. She spent several days in the street bleeding  when a good Samaritan picked her up and brought it to Santo Domingo . She lost several family members. She remains very depressed and with very low self-esteem.

Dieula Mendez

She is 40 years old, mother of 7 children, when the earthquake occurred it was working  like a  vendutera (?) in the  street. When the earthquake unleashed, a wall fell on her and her left leg was shattered, several days  later she was taken off the street and moved to the Hospital Dario Contreras where they had to amputate her leg to save her life.



From the hospital she a came  to our lodging place with a bacteria that nearly took her life,  she stayed 6 days in a clinic where she was cured from the bacteria. She is Christian. Her house collapsed and thanks be to God, none of her children was seriously affected.

Louis Delva.

She is a young 16 year old and was at school when the earthquake came. Of the 10 people who were in the classroom only three were taken out alive. Dozens of students died being crushed by debris. Her femur was broken in two and  also her  pelvis.
Her  mother who cares for her and she and her are very traumatized and they suffer from insomnia.

Pray that God's grace will be manifested in the lives of these people so that their lives can be restored. That the Lord will give us wisdom to minister to them in such a way as to be able to remove the emotional trauma that they are suffering.

 

Pray also for wisdom for the doctors and nurses who are attending them that they might achieve speedy and complete recovery.


Pray that the Lord will restore the material possessions needed to live that they lost.

As you have already seen, they lost everything. (Pray) that their bodies will return  to being productive forspending so  many months in medical treatment and physical therapies.

The generous hand of  people of God has extended in order to help us to serve them in  everything they lacked .



Remember that in Puerto Principe there are two million people who lost  their homes and lost everything. For these individuals it will not be easy coming home and finding nothing. Pray that the Lord will help them in the midst of their desolation to fill themselves with  God and with his blessed hope.




Atte.
