Our American Airlines flight, scheduled for this Friday, has been cancelled. It appears that our next trip may be scheduled for March. We are saddened to not be with our friends at this time and are hoping to make contact with them within the next couple of days. It seems that all communication is down and we were unable to speak with anyone today. Our friends on the island of LaGonave are safe but they do not know about family members on the mainland.
On Tuesday evening we received a call from Pastor Agones on LaGonave, who was concerned to know if the earthquake had caused any damage to Long Island. His fiancee lives in Port-au-Prince and as of last nite he had not heard from her.
We are advising people to make contributions to organizations they know are trustworthy. You are still welcome to make a contribution through our church and we will wire the funds to our partners in Haiti. Checks may be made out to "MPC" and marked for Haiti. Our mailing address is Mattituck Presbyterian Church, PO BOX 1411, Mattituck NY 11952.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has expressed their concerns, their grief, and their hope for the people of Haiti through phone calls, donations, tears, and most of all, their prayers. Please pray for the rescue teams, Haitian and international.
As you have done it for the least of these, you have done it unto me. - Jesus
Updates will be posted here as we learn more.
