HAITI PHASE I


(Left) -Luc Bouquet -- Clinic in Port-au-Prince
It all sounds pretty good on the surface..... We are sending tents, basic needs supplies, food and medical supplies to Haiti. Thanks to so many of you through your monetary and supply donations DRT is able to help some of the Haitian people.......... While this is great and good things are happening.....like the 7 baptisms through Jean Robert at the Delmas 43 church this past Sunday!!...... SO MUCH MORE is still needed.

Over 1,000 members of the church in Port-au-Prince are still without any type of housing.....this doesn't even include the remaining 3 million people in Port-au-Prince.
