Sandy leaves Haiti deeply impacted..

The two most recent hurricanes have impacted our communities in Haiti.

We are receiving reports of flooding, mudslides and impassable roads, which means limited access to food and water.  Farmers have watched their crops being washed away, fruit bearing trees uprooted, in some cases their harvests are a total loss. Then we received the story of Lucner Louis.  Lucner is a member of the Chadirac Leadership Council.  Lucner’s home crumbled under hurricane force winds of Isaac.

Not waiting for help from 410, Lucner began reconstructing his own home.  During the reconstruction a bolder rolled onto to his leg with crushing force.  Lucner suffered broken bones and a severe leg infection.  It was determined by Haitian medical professionals that his leg could not be saved.  The only option was amputation.

Due to the extent of the infection, the doctors performed three amputation of his leg.  Lucner is recovering in a local hospital.  Please pray for him and his family.  He is a great man of God and will continue to be a leader in his community.  Lucner is only one example of the resilience of the Haitian people.
