- News from Pere Guy
We received this email from Pere Guy 1/15.
I am alive but, I could hve died as thousand of thousands of people did. Our archbishop and many priests died. There are no more church buildings in the Capital, all collapsed. The situation is worse than it appeared on TV. The church at Bellanger needs some repairs, fortunately it did not collapse. The same case for the wall that is severly affected. I cannot really explain for now. I will write you later.
Please keep us in your prayer and share this news with others.
May God bless you all.

Received on 9/3/09:
I am really glad to know that you have decided to open your meetings with more prayer. That is the best thing I encourage you to do. I have a strong persuasion that PRAYING is the only way to keep Haiti alive. My specific prayer is to ask God to give me more strength in front of tremendous problems. Believe me, there are so many. A special prayer for OLMC and
Bellanger for buildings to be safe from this Hurricane season and specially from the coming one ERIKA. 4 teachers will be replaced by new ones. Please pray that this new choice may be a good one.
May the Lord bless you all and also your job, your family and freinds. May He shine His light upon you during during your life.
Keep us in your prayer and we will do the same for you.
