For the last week the Leadership here at the YWAM base has been coordinating and leading out a refugee relocation effort with the capacity to move 300 Port Au Prince victims per day until a limit of around 8000. This has been a massive coordination between NGO’s, the UN, Civil Protection, and Churches. This whole relocation exodus began this morning and went really well today! One of the main issues however has been working with anything government oriented because it is almost invariably corrupt. Yesterday we found out that Civil Protection who promised to provide food, water, eating wears, and sleeping mats told us that they “could not organise that” and would not be able to provide the food for the refugees that we would be bringing up in the morning!
When Johnny and I got in the country Terry Snow had just bought some of the last gas in the country and had bought the last bag of rice in the region! And now looking to have to provide food for these refugees was not looking good! However today, a huge order of rice and beans showed up!! Terry does not even know where this supplier got this rice! Here is the video of us unloading the truck and stacking it in the building.
Some of this rice is going tomorrow directly to an orphanage that YWAM is associated with! This was such a key breakthrough at such a key time! praise God!
