Letter

I received this email transmission from Robinson tonight and wanted to pass it along.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and hope that this letter finds you well.I know that you're deeply preoccupied with that earthquake that hit Haiti last Tuesday(January 12) between 4:00 and 5:00pm. causing the death of large numbers of people. It did hit Saint-Marc but didn't destroy any buildings. Some friends, acquaintances, and relatives from Saint-Marc who were attending school in Port Au Prince have been killed and lots of people have been rushed to the the hospital in Saint-Marc as some of the hospitals were destroyed and there were not enough places to handle those emergencies. The population of Saint-Marc was called to provide support for the injured people. I had a bag of medicine left from what you brought that I brought to the hospital to be used by the medical unit there. An old woman wanted so much to make a contribution that she brought three bananas to the hospital. A natural disaster occurs for a reason, which may be unknown to us. As a result of the earthquake impact many people have been saved. I love you all. May God Bless you!

As a side note, I have started moving funds into Haiti, and am finding some surprises along the way. Special thanks to Western Union for wiring money for us today for free. They have apparently lifted their fees for Haiti right now. This is a huge blessing giving us a wider scope of distribution. It's still very difficult to communicate. So pray that we are able to smoothly get these transactions through. And keep praying for these people. Blessings always!
