U.S. Navy help restore electricity to the village of Neply where New Missions serves in Haiti. -------------------------------- found at: http://www.missione4.com/DisasterResponsePlan.htm Why support Mission E4 with our efforts? Our belief is that the best way to distribute aid is through the missionary organizations that are already on the ground in Haiti. Ours just happens to be one of them. Here a couple of others we know on the ground: New Missions – Leogane, Haiti (407)240-4058 Northwest Haiti Christian Mission (317)289-9202 We feel that it will be very difficult for smaller organizations unfamiliar with how Haiti operates to achieve the best, long-lasting results. We truly appreciate all the aid that is being sent in to the country (although so much more is needed quickly) Looting of this aid and potential threats to workers may be present for those that do not already have trusted contacts Simply – it will be more difficult for those that do not speak the language, those that do not have the resources of relationships, and those that do not understand the culture to move things along well at a “grass roots” level, employing the local people and stimulating the local economy. We see that much of the world relief focus is centralized around Port-au-Prince, when the area from Leogane to Ti Guave has in many ways been affected far worse (although with smaller population per sq. km). We want to encourage people to continue to respond to PAP, but also to support and work with those of us in the city of Leogane and the outlying provinces. ------------ Charlie DeTellis Returns To Haiti On Sunday, January 24, I returned to Haiti alone–after being evacuated on Friday, January 15. As you can imagine, I wanted to return as soon as possible. Our mission serves thousands of children and families, and now more than ever, they need us. While driving through Port-au-Prince, I saw more of the destruction of the city. I believe the upper class got hit hard with this disaster. The aftershocks are still very frightening. One tremor hit while I was at my desk in the office–which is damaged beyond repair, and I quickly ran out of the building. You cannot believe the amount of military personnel on our Bordmer compound! Right now, there are 150 Marines and around 250 Navy personnel based at our mission. There are tents, equipment, and U.S. military everywhere. A U.S. military vessel is arriving with a delivery of supplies tomorrow. They will begin distributing food to our school locations tomorrow. Our compound is full of men and gear. Even behind the mission are six amphibious vehicles. There are some 20 pallets of ready to eat meals (MREs) in our yard. Currently, the servicemen at our mission are SeaBees. They are the Construction Battalions of the United States Navy. The Seabees have a history of building bases, bulldozing and paving thousands of miles of roadway and airstrips, along with accomplishing other construction projects of a wide variety. God knew who we needed! These are men who can do physical work. There are trucks, hummers, pick-ups, bull dozers, tractors, and forklifts. This definitely is God’s timing. Our schools are opening and the work here will be strong. The country is showing some signs of stability–as fuel is for sale at the gas stations, and I am hearing more banks will open this week. I see a new strength within our Haitian leadership at New Missions. They are proud to serve and know that God is with them. Amen! God is our refuge and strength. http://www.newmissions.org/News/Newsletter/NewsletterArticle/tabid/163/smid/538/ArticleID/30/reftab/164/t/CHARLIE%20DETELLIS%20RETURNS%20TO%20HAITI/Default.aspx -------------- Sat, Jan 23, 2010 0 Comments How do you save lives? You reach the sick before it is too late. In essence, you bring a cure. That is what Haiti is crying for: a cure. Right now, people from Port-au-Prince are being re-located across the countryside due to the greater collapse of infrastructure in Haiti’s capital city. A temporary solution is moving people out to a somewhere that is not their home. Now they must start over. The little they had before, is now nothing. Sad. What is a better cure? Have more established areas across Haiti as points of entry vs just Port-au-Prince. In essence, Haiti needs regions of established ports of commerece. http://timdetellis.com/ -> twitter.com/newmissions facebook - http://www.facebook.com/newmissions LOCATION - The New Missions compound is on the Leogane Plain about 25 miles west of Port-au-Prince.

You reach the sick before it is too late. In essence, you bring a cure. That is what Haiti is crying for: a cure. Right now, people from Port-au-Prince are being re-located across the countryside due to the greater collapse of infrastructure in Haiti’s capital city. A temporary solution is moving people out to a somewhere that is not their home. Now they must start over. The little they had before, is now nothing. Sad. What is a better cure? Have more established areas across Haiti as points of entry vs just Port-au-Prince. In essence, Haiti needs regions of established ports of commerece. http://timdetellis.com/ -> facebook - http://www.facebook.com/newmissions LOCATION - The New Missions compound is on the Leogane Plain about 25 miles west of Port-au-Prince. -------------------------------- found at: http://www.missione4.com/DisasterResponsePlan.htm Why support Mission E4 with our efforts? Our belief is that the best way to distribute aid is through the missionary organizations that are already on the ground in Haiti. Ours just happens to be one of them. Here a couple of others we know on the ground: New Missions – Leogane, Haiti (407)240-4058 Northwest Haiti Christian Mission (317)289-9202 We feel that it will be very difficult for smaller organizations unfamiliar with how Haiti operates to achieve the best, long-lasting results. We truly appreciate all the aid that is being sent in to the country (although so much more is needed quickly) Looting of this aid and potential threats to workers may be present for those that do not already have trusted contacts Simply – it will be more difficult for those that do not speak the language, those that do not have the resources of relationships, and those that do not understand the culture to move things along well at a “grass roots” level, employing the local people and stimulating the local economy. We see that much of the world relief focus is centralized around Port-au-Prince, when the area from Leogane to Ti Guave has in many ways been affected far worse (although with smaller population per sq. km). We want to encourage people to continue to respond to PAP, but also to support and work with those of us in the city of Leogane and the outlying provinces. ------------ Charlie DeTellis Returns To Haiti On Sunday, January 24, I returned to Haiti alone–after being evacuated on Friday, January 15. As you can imagine, I wanted to return as soon as possible. Our mission serves thousands of children and families, and now more than ever, they need us. While driving through Port-au-Prince, I saw more of the destruction of the city. I believe the upper class got hit hard with this disaster. The aftershocks are still very frightening. One tremor hit while I was at my desk in the office–which is damaged beyond repair, and I quickly ran out of the building. You cannot believe the amount of military personnel on our Bordmer compound! Right now, there are 150 Marines and around 250 Navy personnel based at our mission. There are tents, equipment, and U.S. military everywhere. A U.S. military vessel is arriving with a delivery of supplies tomorrow. They will begin distributing food to our school locations tomorrow. Our compound is full of men and gear. Even behind the mission are six amphibious vehicles. There are some 20 pallets of ready to eat meals (MREs) in our yard. Currently, the servicemen at our mission are SeaBees. They are the Construction Battalions of the United States Navy. The Seabees have a history of building bases, bulldozing and paving thousands of miles of roadway and airstrips, along with accomplishing other construction projects of a wide variety. God knew who we needed! These are men who can do physical work. There are trucks, hummers, pick-ups, bull dozers, tractors, and forklifts. This definitely is God’s timing. Our schools are opening and the work here will be strong. The country is showing some signs of stability–as fuel is for sale at the gas stations, and I am hearing more banks will open this week. I see a new strength within our Haitian leadership at New Missions. They are proud to serve and know that God is with them. Amen! God is our refuge and strength. http://www.newmissions.org/News/Newsletter/NewsletterArticle/tabid/163/smid/538/ArticleID/30/reftab/164/t/CHARLIE%20DETELLIS%20RETURNS%20TO%20HAITI/Default.aspx -------------- Sat, Jan 23, 2010 0 Comments How do you save lives?
