First off, for those of you who have seen news of the sink hole, it is clear across the capital from us. The area of the country we are in has seen the least damage and disaster from the storm due to our good infrastructure. The majority of deaths have been out in the country where people are still living in mud and tin shacks, on the hillsides.
There was a lot of damage to roads around the Antigua area, but we are now able to get into that city. Our secondary ministry, L.A.C.E.S and their school are located there. All of our students have been accounted for, but many have lost all but the clothes on their backs to mud and water damage. We hope to help directly with that after our time at teacher work days is finished. At this point it looks as if we may help with delivering water and food to some of the greatest affected families from the school.
Please pray for the many people in the country who have lost so much and are displaced. It affects more than the poor, but they are affected the most. Also, please pray that the airport will reopen quickly as there are many ministry teams trying to get out and in, as well as many of our teachers from the school. The news tonight said it should reopen tomorrow which would be wonderful.
