A Message From Mark Stuart in Jacmel Haiti- Conduit We Have Our Marching Orders..
I emailed Mark Stuart to find out if we can actually get a ship docked in Jacmel. We've been working to get NGO's to focus on Jacmel Haiti.
This is Marks' response.
yes. I met with the mayor tonight. The port can be used, cruise ships can come in there. We need help bad here is the city. What kind of supplies are on the boat? How fast can they get here? We are starting to feel people get frustrated and scared and that usually predicates looting and riots as you know. Also...we are donating money to the city of jacmel. The mayor said we were the only ones that have helped at all. Its crazy...I told him we could give 10k tomorrow and he almost cried. He is doing everything himself on his credit card. The mayor has the infrastructure and connections to get major things done if we can help rent equipment and buy food/supplies . But the city has no money. There are big machines here just sitting because the money is gone. If your organization can raise money for jacmel we can get it to best people to help the most pressing needs. There are dead bodies in the rubble and maybe one small front loader doing everything. Sad.

We know what we need to raise money for. Conduit Nation we need your help. 100% of the money you're sending is going to Jacmel Haiti. Please prayerfully consider donating.

Report from Jacmel Haiti
We’ve been given word that there has been no loss of life in the Restoration Ministries Church in Jacmel Haiti. So grateful and joyful for that news.
Restoration Ministries church properties are all still standing. There has been damage to the Restore Center in downtown Jacmel but it’s still standing.
We have urgent need of getting supplies to Jacmel. It is a coastal town, south of Port Au Prince and the road between the two has been cut off. The airport, which is a landing strip with a small building on it, has been turned into a refugee camp. Our main option is to find organizations who can bring their supplies to a port on the southern coast. If anyone reading this has connections that can help us. Please email me at darrentyler@mac.com
The water is down, the food supply is very limited, the hospital is down, medical supplies limited. Port Au Prince is such an overwhelming problem and very little attention has been brought to the towns and cities to the south.
We’re continuing to gather resources and finances. you can donate by clicking on the “donate now” button on our site.
100% of the moneys coming in are going to this very urgent crisis.

Another update from on the ground in Haiti
This is from Renee who is a missionary at the Hands and Feet Project in Jacmel www.handsandfeetproject.org
“right now I don’t know when we can get out. I think in few days we will be able to do it. Its really bad. The whole country is cut off from PAP and its supply line. We bought about 100 gallons of diesel this morning and the kids are sitting in the yard still. The tremors are still on and off and it really gives you a sick feeling like the world is coming to an end. CRAZY. I do think I’ll make it back by next week, but keep Jamie and Leslie on call. They’re awesome. Hey guys….The airport is closed except for aid coming in. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get out of here. I’m glad that I was here so that we can help. The kids at this point….aren’t that scared. Many of them are having fun with it. Its been like a big camp out. The adults are a little frazzled to say the least. I hope to get out some time next week.”
thanks everyone for your prayers and donations. God is on the move.

Update from on the ground in Haiti
I was just forwarded this email from our friends Mark and Aegis Stuart. Mark and Aegis are in Jacmel Haiti at the ministry they founded www.handsandfeetproject.org
Restoration Ministries is in the same town, Jacmel. It's about 15 minutes away. We still don't have official word on the status of our structures. We continue to raise funds knowing that there is an immediate and urgent need. If you feel led to give you can go to www.conduitmission.org we're wiring our first round of cash this afternoon. Pastor Lafluer is enroute and once he's on the ground I want him to have immediate access to financial resources.
Please pray. And please give. www.conduitmission.org
Here is the email..
Hi everyone....
Our internet is working finally. So I'm sending this to a few of you....
Everyone here is ok, but we are all very scared. The buildings held up great, but there are several houses right around us that have collapsed. Also, Hotel Cyvadier had major damage, while the brand new three story "peace of mind" hotel was demolished. Francine, one of our teenage nannies was in afternoon school and escaped while the building was collapsing around her because she was sitting by the door...however many of her classmates died yesterday. Many houses and and buildings have collapsed in Jacmel including the hospital. I know most of the news there is coming from PAP, but there is substantial loss of life here on the south coast. We need prayer for wisdom and strength. Its very chaotic here. We were able to buy diesel this morning and hopefully get more propane for cooking tomorrow. Last night was crazy...slept on the dirt in the center of the village...away from the buildings. Tonight we may venture back indoors, but that is yet to be decided. We go in and out to get necessities. The Haitian people are numb and sad to say very used to death, but this has created what seems to be a hypnotic state. I've never been in a situation were you feel SO helpless, fearful, and small. The tremors are coming again as i type this. Whoa!!!
