Report from Gonaives on the devastation as reported by Salonique from White Fields Overseas Mission
Dear mom
and Dad, (This
is Fred and Jan Green ) Greetings
to you and thanks for all the prayers. We are
alive that is all that I can say really. The situation that we are now in
is more than horrible. There is no way to present an adequate explanation
about it. We, as a
city, have lost everything. I praise God because I still have my five boys
(including Jonas), my wife, my parents and great number of my relatives.
Only God could do that for me. We have
lost everything that we have owned. The house is left without its wall,
its gates and the things that were in it, including books and papers. I
barely have a few papers saved providentially. Mom, I have neverr seen
anything like it. The whole city is wipe out. Right now, I am just
saying you things, there is not a systematic arrangement to explain what is
going on. We barely
made it to the roof of the house. Those who did not have a concrete roof
and who did not have a close neighbor or a tree high enough to be at its top are
gone. Dead bodies are all over the city. I hear people talk about
500 people dead, that is enough for one area, for the whole city we have more
than 5,000 people dead. I am not kidding. Some family are completely
wipe out. There is one little location everybody in it died. All the
houses gone. Let me
talk about us. When the water reached our house we barely made it to the
top. We spent the whole night under the rain holding two of my four boys,
my wife held one, and my sister Christella held one from For the
Church, Micah is the only Church member who is not a victim of this terrible
hurricane, every body of the Church is a victim. All our members are
alive, thank God. At large, we have some dead from the other Churches.
The wall of the Church fell down, all the things we have had at the Church
office are gone, broken, unable to work. WE have found two dead bodies in
the Church yard, i had to burry him. The city
as you knew it, or the house where I lived as you knew it is history now.
WE will leave the area tomorrow to go to higher places. Time is
run out, pass the message top our friends, all of those of us who survive is a
story of the work of God. Pray for us. Every help is wonderful.
We have had brush, tooth past, some spaggeti thanks to Micah and a couple other
friends. The environment is terribly polluted with all these dead bodies
(animals and human beings) laying around. Gine cannot handle the
situation. The boys are having a terrible time. Pray for all of us.
We don`t know when we will be able to go back to our house. We love
you. Thanks for your prayers. Salonique FOR
