IPHC Plans to Rebuild Haitian Communities
Darrel and Bonnie Clowers are IPHC missionaries to the Dominican Republic. They are leading our Haiti disaster relief efforts, and they sent additional information today concerning the plan to assist Haitian communities.
First, the Clowers continue to coordinate flights of emergency relief supplies into Haiti. Food, water, medicine, and other supplies are being purchased in the Dominican Republic, and the supplies are flown directly to our Haitian church leaders in Port-au-Prince for distribution. The supplies are distributed to people staying at the IPHC ministry complex in northwest Port-au-Prince, which is located in a neighborhood that was severely damaged.
Since Matt Bennett reports that he saw no other aid distributed in this area, People to People desires to keep sending supplies. Cash donations to People to People's Haiti relief fund allow our the Clowers to purchase these supplies, and the direct flights into Haiti provided for free by Agape Flights. It costs over $2000 to fill a plane with supplies, so churches are urged to donate generously to People to People's disaster relief fund.
In addition to emergency supplies, the IPHC will work to rebuild Haitian churches and communities. We will follow a three-phase strategy.

we have been praying for all the Haiti's situation.
We wonder if you have any of those informations above in spaninsh.
If, so, could you , please send it to our email and Douglas as well?
It would be of help in order to challenge our people in Latin America as well.
We will make sure also that Pr. Bisson and the pastors here receive the above information.
Douglas is in South Africa now. He may come in 5 weeks.
God bless, strengthen and protect you !
With Love,
Paulo. Omaira and Marina
We don't have any information available in Spanish right now, but we can create it soon. We will post it when it is available. Thank you for the suggestion!
PROJECTS NEED OUR SUPPORT AT THIS TIME.
OUR MONIES WILL BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE GENERAL CHURCH.
