BUSES International Weblog

Today, BUSES International sent building supplies and medical equipment totally nearly $10,000.00 to Haiti.  Our items were added to food and other supplies collected in partnership with Church on the North Coast, a close friend of the ministry.  All the supplies and equipment will be used to rebuild and expand an orphanage there in Haiti.

We just talked to Pastor Jean-Martin Etienne in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  He and his family are surviving, but things are bad.  He reports that already the relief effort is beginning to loose its strength.  We’ve seen this happen in past disasters.  There is a great initial response, but after a few weeks and then a few months, the help and support falls away even though there is still a lot of need.  He said that disease is a real concern with all the dead bodies still buried in the rumble.  Food and safe drinking water continues to be a high priority.  He said the need for the mobile clinic is huge.  BUSES International is still raising funds to build this Medical / Dental Bus for Agape Mission in Haiti.  Visit www.busesinternational.org for further details.  Please pray!

Our friend and brother, Pastor Jean Martin Etienne of Agape Mission in Port-au-Prince, Haiti is alright.  We final heard his family all survived.  Praise God! He’s located at the epicenter of the earthquake.
 
Back in November 2009, BUSES International hosted him here in Lorain, OH and made plans to build a Mobile Medical / Dental Clinic for him and Agape Mission.  Mission teams and doctor will use the mobile clinic to provide free medical care to the poor.  We are still moving forward with these plans to get this unit to Haiti ASAP.  We already have the bus.
 
We are accepting tax deductible donations for this project through our website or by check.  Please pray for Pastor Jean Martin and the people of Haiti… the needs are great!  Go to www.busesinternational.org to learn more.
