Terrible Story......

I sorry but people go there to help, millions of dollars have been donated and this is how they treat the people that are there to help them. I hate to say but maybe we should just pull out.

I understand what your saying but, that would mean the evil one wins and we are told to go preach the Good News to all the world. God bless and protect those doing that.

Sadly Haiti is a dark dark place. I am praying for the CMA guys, plus the many other missionaries trying to make a difference.

You are absolutely right…we can’t stop helping folks because of the actions of a few.

Haiti is indeed a dark place, whose ancestors made a pact with Satan and openly rejected God in hopes of escaping from miserable slavery. It would be easy to just give up on them but then evil prevails over good and our mission has to be to see that that does not happen.

We have a church mission trip scheduled in March. We gave our folks the option of changing to another location, but they unanimously have elected to go forward.
I’m sure that the CMA will not give up on this either and I pray for all those that care enough to brave dire personal danger in efforts to bring relief to the many thousands in Haiti who so desperately need it.

UPDATE
Under cover of darkness the UN loaded our baggage into one APC and positioned us into 2 others. We gathered up and did a practice run about an hour before the scheduled 02:40 load time. After the practice drill the lights were killed to avoid detection by the Haitians and to give the appearance of "all quiet." and then we waited.

At 02:40, on the nose, the leader came in and gave the command "vaminos."

We loaded our respective vehicles quietly and in the darkness our convoy slipped out of the gates and into the Haitian streets. From that point on there wasn't anything covert about it. It was fast and loud. Once out in the city streets our convoy separated, possibly to make it more difficult for anyone who may be interested, to focus on the Blancos. (Whites) The entire run took about a half hour and we arrived at the much larger, more secure, Chileian army base outside of town to wait on the next leg of our journey out.

Sent from my phone but it's still all about Jesus!

Update: from yesterday at 2:40PM. Same info that Tom posted:

This is a message from John Ogden, Sr., CEO/Chairman of the Board for CMA:
Thank you for all of your prayers for the CMA team in Haiti and also the other teams we have around the world at this time. I visited with Kerry this morning and his team is at the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and no longer in danger. They are being well taken care of and said the lodging and food are great. Everyone's spirits are high. They will soon be back in the Dominican Republic and in the hands of Missionary Ventures where they will continue to be well cared for. This has been a trying time for them as well as our CMA families, but we believe the hand of God was upon them and that things far greater than we could comprehend were being accomplished in CMA, as well as with our ministry partners, for the Kingdom of God.

Within the ministry of CMA there are many things we are believing God for and we can truly see the hand of God on this ministry opening doors. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing through CMA. Please continue to pray for our teams around the world.

In closing, below is an email from Kerry describing some of what they have been through.

If you're a Christian you better be tough.

Not tough but, forgiven!

Was told in our chapter meeting this AM. The team is to leave the country today but, have to walk out!?
Waiting for word

I agree with the pull out. When they became a free country they went around and killed every one who was not black, including their own who were not as black as they should be. So why help them now when they treat us like that?

PRAISE GOD!

The CMA missionary team is out of Haiti and in the Dominican Republic! They will be leaving the DR on Tuesday and return home on Wednesday.

Thank you God Almighty!!!
