Here is a letter from Pastor Castillo describing the death, destruction and chaos there... Please keep them in prayer! Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, May the grace and mercy of God be with you. On Thursday morning we were able to enter Port Au Prince, Haiti, and we found a city full of dead people lying in the streets and survivors in shelters without anyone to help. Until today the only assistance they were receiving was from the Dominican government. Aide is going to start coming in tomorrow, but until now there is only death, desolation and fear because the earth hasn’t ceased to tremble. Nobody has escaped this tragedy. We received news from a group of pastors with whom we have fellowship, that seventy of their number were either dead or disappeared. We were able to confirm this news by visiting some of their churches, totally destroyed and full of dead brothers and sisters still trapped beneath the rubble. Last night there was another aftershock. We were all gripped with panic, and there were cries of desperation throughout the entire city. The news transmitted by most of the international networks has not even conveyed 20 percent of the real situation in Haiti. There is no functioning government, no institutions, no hospitals; but yes, one big chaos. Many of the brothers and sisters who have survived are finding shelter in churches in nearby towns. We can’t give you all the details of this tragedy, maybe one of the greatest in all of human history; but next week we will return to Haiti to bring everything we can to help alleviate this situation. We will also be working with our brothers and sisters who moved to other towns. Brethren, please pray for us because we are trying to obtain canned food, bottled water, antibiotics, canvas for temporary shelters, beds, milk for children and adults, gauze and any other thing that could be useful in this tragic situation. In the love of Christ, your servant, Miguel Angel CastilloPastor, Iglesia Fundamento Bíblico (Bible Foundation Church) Category:  Haiti Relief Effort • post new | clone this | rss feed | blog top »

We have had the pleasure of having Pastor Castillo in our home, since my wife is from Santo Domingo, D.R. We have been thinking of him a lot and heard an interview from the Haitian translator from IBSJ of Pastor Castillo of the situation in Haiti. It was quite moving.
