Haiti Update...

The Thede family who work as missionaries in Haiti have been posting some updates on the critical situation in Haiti. You can read specifically for yourself on their blog. Apparently about 60% of the crops are gone (avocado and banana trees). People are living on their rooftops (and giving birth their according to Kris). There is a main road that connects Port-au-Prince to the island cities that was completely destroyed in the hurricanes. You can see in the pictures below that much of it is under water. It is impassable... and is the main reason why food and supplies are not being transported to the people who need them most. Please continue to pray hard for the construction and repairs of this road. They are working on it... but do not know how long it will take. Many Haitians were starving and suffering during the country's most stable times... we can only imagine their state now after this disaster.
