Update

Serge and the orphanage workers and children (and others from Calvary PAP) are still living in the orphanage courtyard. They may be moving to another location. The orphanage has sustained enough damage that Pastor Serge is not comfortable with anyone sleeping inside (Serge told us last night that virtually no one is sleeping indoors in the neighborhood because aftershocks – including one as recently as Saturday – are still bringing houses down). There are two critical foundation poles which seem quite unstable, which will need reinforcing, among other things. Hence, a major prayer request – pray for the Lord to supernaturally keep the orphanage facility standing until the poles can be reinforced, among other things.
In our conversation with Serge, Eric and I also got some great color of more positive things that are going on. Serge says that the young leaders in his church are totally fired up for Jesus, and have been involved with impromptu, open air evangelistic meetings. He says his whole church is out evangelizing and very excited about it. Many people are being saved.
The church building appears to be so damaged that Serge said he will probably vacate the space and look for something new. Please pray for that.

Pastor Serge: We've been watching the news coverage of the earthquake damage & rescue efforts there, from here in Sioux City Iowa USA and reading your blog. Praying you are all ok. Praying for Haiti! It's all in the hands of God!

Love in Christ, Lois Vacanti & family
