As you know, Tony and Mary DeKoter live and work in Haiti with Quisqueya Christian School (QCS) in Port au Prince. We have word that Tony is ok, Mary is in the States right now. The following comments were made by Els Vervloet who works at QCS. Please keep all of Haiti in your prayers.
After 5 hours outside we are now inside our house, it looks like the aftershocks are getting less. As we are getting more information about collapsed or badly damaged buildings, wounded people, trapped people and people being killed by this earthquake. my heart aches. Poor Haiti, poor poor Haiti. it seems that the Carrefour area and downtown are hit the hardest, although Petion Ville and Delmas area are in bad shape also. Walls, Small buildings, big and high buildings, What will we see when daylight comes in the morning? i was reminded by Eric Dolce about Psalm 46 God is our Refuge and Strength, an ever-present help in trouble. THOUGH THE EARTH GIVE WAY, AND THE MOUNTAINS FALL INTO THE HEART OF THE SEA. For those asking about QCS, I have talked to one of my co-workers who was still at school when the first big earthquake hit, no one was injured, no damage to the school. There were still several students at that time, waiting for their parents to pick them up. Fortunately there were several teachers there to comfort them and pray with them. Please continue to pray that the after shocks will stop, that looting will not happen, that people who are trapped under concrete will be rescued.
