Hurricanes

No new news on our front, but I thought I would update you on Haiti and GLA, in regards to the hurricanes....

FAY - lots of rain and wind, but no damage.
GUSTAV - a lot more rain, but GLA weathered the storm well
HANNA - This was posted on GLA's website:
Hurricane Hannah brought destruction to Haiti last night , September 2nd. Our area sustained downed trees, toppled brick walls, and roads blocked. People are already out cutting the trees blocking the roads. Our metal roofs got blown off the house and we lost the internet dish at the Toddler House. The wind was blowing so hard the rain came in around the closed windows of the orphanage and flooded our dining room table and floor! There seems to be as many leaves inside the house as outside! Thankfully, we are all safe and God kept us from harm. Now we just have to clean up from the storm. This was much worse than any storm we have personally seen in the 17 years we have lived in Haiti.

Two more storms are headed in their direction, please pray for Haiti, the people, and GLA. The flooding on the island is horrible and many have lost their homes. Many consider Haiti a 5th world country, because there is no hope. I refuse to believe that as long as we believe in the power and glory of Jesus Christ, He is our hope, even for the people in Haiti. I praise God for keeping the orphanage safe and out of harms way!
