Demonstrations

Central America Caribbean » Haiti » Port-au-Prince

Some of you may have heard about the demonstrations here in PaP. They generated from a government run camp in the center of the city. Residents there are extremely upset with conditions and services. This is quite far from where I stay and also DHQ. Just wanted to reassure everyone I am safe. At the gated entrance to the hotel, there is an armed guard stationed. Just a reminder of the potential for violatile reactions. For several days, NGO's (Non Government Organizations) were told to remove any insignias from vehicles...just in case. We complied and that recommendation has now been lifted.
I am safe...doesn't mean I'm not appreciating the prayer coverage you are all giving me!

I am serving in Port-au-Prince, Haiti as an Emotional and Spiritual Care Officer for a Salvation Army camp of about 20,000 refugees, with a clinic and an unknown number of SA volunteers. This came from out of nowhere, so I'm sure it's a 'God' call. I am somewhat apprehensive about all this responsibility. However, I am centering on His promise to provide what I will need for those He brings to me. Prayer support will be appreciated.... full info
