Report from Haiti

This is a report from a friend of mine, Rick Ryan, who works with Convoy of Hope. It is dated January 26:

As of the end of the day today, 1.6 million meals have been served in Haiti. It is made possible because we were one of the few groups to have food, water and supplies on the ground. Our warehouse was filled and therefore we could respond right away. We have added more POD's on the ground and bought more trucks for distribution. The situation is still very critical and dangerous. We have one million pounds of product in the pipeline on its way to Haiti. Pray that it will all pass through the red tape quickly. Those are the three prayer requests: Safety of our team and the national church people who are helping up distribute food and water. Safety of emotionally, physically and spiritually. More Fuel. Our distribution depends on having enough. So many of the storage tanks are damaged. And for all the food and water in the pipeline to pass through quickly and getting to the Haitian people. We are fighting for lives. Thanks to all kinds of churches, networks, and friends who are helping us. This is truly about the Body of Christ coming together to save a nation. We do need your prayers and your continued help.

This won't be over for a long time. Don't give up early.
