Latest from Roberta

This comes to us from Jesse Robertson in Henderson, TN, by way of Facebook.

"Today Team 4 is on its way to Port au Prince. Roberta reports that she has already distributed about 50,000 lbs of food, and has several more tons at her house waiting to be packaged for families. The security walls have been closed to a height of about six feet, and gates have been installed at the group house. The church is receiving compliments on its show of Christian generosity, and worship is standing room only. For the next few weeks we will focus on keeping some helpers on hand to facilitate food distribution."

Haiti

Roberta is headed back home to Haiti. The airport is open again. She will arrive in Miami tonight and back in Port au Prince tomorrow. We have not heard anything from Thomas at the children's home since that first message.

The Estes Church of Christ in Henderson, Tennessee, will be coordinating some relief efforts through churches in the area. Since they are a volunteer organization, any money contributed will go entirely for relief. They will wait for Roberta's assessment of the needs before making purchases, but anticipate medical supplies, food and water, and building materials. They have a man on the way there now.

Contributions can be made to:
