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.

  1. Repairing the Compound to House Teams
    There is a 200 yard breach in the perimeter wall. The back wall is leaning, but is possible that it may
    all. So, we are trying purchase cement and have our Haitian brothers repair this wall. The plumbing a and electrical are in disarray and a small team is doing that repair. They will fix the showers, toilets and electrical problems.
  2. Providing needed items

3 Agape planes left today, full of food and supplies for our churches in Haiti

Darrel and Bonnie Clowers informed us that 3 Agape planes left this morning, carrying 4000lbs of food and supplies! Praise God for His provision and grace upon our national leaders and missionaries!

It takes about $2,200 to buy 2500lbs of food; thank you for your continual prayers and financial support. Agape flights will continue to fly our supplies at no cost from the Dominican Republic to Haiti if we can fill the planes.

The Clowers shared that they are in desperate need of vehicles. If you know of anyone wanting to donate a truck, please contact our office at 1-888-474-2966 ext. 3212. Vehicles can be shipped in containers or money can be donated to purchase them in the Dominican Republic.

According to the latest reports we have received, the damage on our churches has been minimal, as well as the number of deaths in our families. We are thankful to God for His protection.

Let's keep praying, giving, and doing all we can to help our brothers and sisters from Haiti, in such a desperate time of need.
