Pray for Haiti

Please pray for the dear people of Haiti as they deal with this earthquake and the aftermath.  We have the great privilege of having 49 other states to provide immediate assistance for us here in America when these things happen but they are not that fortunate.  Things seem to be really bad there but I think God in His grace has provided a situation where these people have no where else to look but up.  Please pray for missionaries (Biz Lerisse Family and Brandon Jordon Family.)  in Haiti and others that God will use them and keep them in these times. 

I found the following information about these two families

Praise on Missionaries in Haiti's

Just heard this morning that all 4 families that had not been heard from yesterday, are doing well.

Baker, Keith & Theresa - Haiti -Their family received word that the Bakers are all okay in Haiti. Please keep praying.

Jordan, Brandon & Nikki - Haiti update on us: major earthquake hit that we were not at all prepared for much less knew about. We are doing well; just a little shook up. Devastation everywhere and will not know the worse until morning. Thank you for all the prayers; we will keep you posted as we can. Yesterday at 8:10pm

Long night of trimmers, streets filled with frightened people praying and singing, and us trying to get some sleep under the stars.

just felt more tremors they are mild but shakes us up every time.

*****

After a major shock to the country of Haiti, we praise our dear Lord and Savior that He protected our family. It is very tragic to say that I cannot say the same for many lives around the Port au Prince area. After a night of sleeping in our neighbors yard, under the stars, we are thankful that we have not felt any more tremors since around 2 am. Brandon just left for town to see if there is any possibility of getting gas and water, but it is very unlikely. Continue to pray for this country as it is just now light enough to begin to see the damages it has caused. Please pray for our continued protection and that we will be able to find needed supplies. We just got word that our major grocery store is flattened to the ground and a major hotel is gone. I am sure we will continue to hear reports like this all day.

Thank you so much for your prayers on our behalf; we will continue to keep ya'll posted.

Serving in Haiti,

Brandon and Nikki Jordan

Lerisse, Biz & Erica - Haiti / Dominican Republic -

Keith called the mission board where Bro. Biz is from – they said he reported they were fine – they were in the Dom Rep – but have no way of knowing how those from their church etc. are in Haiti – the phones etc. are down & CAN’T travel to the country – actually I think Mrs. Biz is having her baby today by c-section …..

They just all need a lot of prayers!

I just called Bro. Cox to see if he had heard from Bro. Biz Lerisse and family, our missionaries in Haiti. He did talk to him last night. They are fine. Praise the Lord! They have been in Santa Domingo which is in the Dominican Republic serving while things (opposition/threats) died down there in Haiti. He is planning on making a trip in the next few days to check on his church and people. He has to wait until access on roads etc, is available.

Please pray though for Erica today. She goes in for a c-section. Earlier test had shown that her baby was severely deformed. The latest showed that the baby was fine. I’m not sure how far along she is, but regardless she is having the baby today. So please pray for her and the health of their newborn. I will update tonight in church. Have a great day.

An announcement was made in church last night that baby Steven was born with no spina bifada, and no complications! PTL!!
