report from canaan

The following is a report that the leadership of Canaan has written to help all of us get a glimpse into all of things that have been happening since the quake:

Canaan Community

The earthquake has caused Canaan to be released into a more comprehensive ministry (more than just for kids) to people in Haiti. We have become a network center that is serving other ministries with materials and personnel such as translators and medical staff. Support staff here at Canaan have been able to take charge of Canaan basic ministry so that the senior staff are released to go out and help others. The youth of Canaan have been serving as translators and aides at local hospitals.

Money sent to Canaan is being used to give food and money to churches devastated by the earthquake and to other ministries. Our medical service has increased to include service to nearby hospitals as well as to tent cities and street people in Port-au-Prince. We have cleared out opened the older boys dorm to people who have had surgeries and need a place to stay while they heal. So far, three of the people staying here have come to know the Lord.

Thanks so much for being a part of this. Our heart is to come alongside Canaan and help them meet the overwhelming needs, as they see fit. Thanks...
