Update from Hurricane Matthew
Bahamas Partners

by Brian Zeschke | October 6, 2016 1:06 PM

As of Wednesday night I had been in contact with most of our ministry partners in Nassau, Bahamas. They were starting to see some of the rains and light winds from Matthew but obviously the worst was yet to come. They were all in good spirits and preparing their homes, families and ministries to ride out the storm. The storm has now rolled through most of the Bahamas and although the eye went slightly west of the heavily populated Nassau, typically the heaviest rains are in the northeast portion of the storm. Nassau (New Providence Island) has very little elevation and it is very prone to flooding. So on top of up to a foot or more of rain, there were storm surges expected up to another 3-5 feet. We have yet to hear back from our partners in Nassau as likely power and cell lines are down at the moment. We will update as soon as we hear more from our pastors and partners. Please continue to pray as Matthew gains strength and is headed towards eastern Florida.

Is there any info available about the El Bethel orphanage in Haiti? My son went there last spring for a missions trip from WSU in Pullman, WA. We are all praying for all of these people.

After going on line this A.M. to check specifically on Haiti, I opened my email in hopes of finding an update on Les Cayes which sounds like it was the hardest hit. Thank you for realizing that Praying Pelicans are concerned. I know that you are planning a December trip there; but I am a licensed nurse and f you decide to provide emergency aid before then, please contact me. Maybe we can even help build a bridge to PaP?

Thank you all for posting updates. I know so many of us that have come to know and love our Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ have been so anxious to hear news. We serve a mighty God as this storm shows, but His mercy and grace and love are so much greater than this storm!! Of course, our prayers will continue without ceasing!
