PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—Members of a church and children in an orphanage in Haiti are fasting this morning with Pastor Prédestin Hérard. “Without the Lord we would be lost and really life would be hopeless,” says Pastor Hérard, president of the Association des Énglises Evangeliques Baptistes d΄ Haiti. He and his family are doing well, he reports.
The bank in Port-au-Prince, now reopened since the quake, is filled with people who have needs. “There is a long line almost every day in front of the bank,” says Pastor Hérard. He planned to go to the bank early Monday morning so he could get the money he needs to begin repairing his church.
Pastor Hérard’s church and school have been damaged in the quake. But other pastors’ churches, as well as homes, have been completely destroyed. Pastor Hérard shares this list of damages to pastors’ homes and churches in Port-au-Prince:
