A letter from C.G.M.A. Mission's Director Rev. Jay Walden

HOW ARE YOU?   WE ARE FINE AND BLESSED,   WISH WE COULD SAY THAT ABOUT HAITI.   IT IS COMPLETE DEVASTATION.  THIS IS  7 PICTURES OF THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR HEADQUARTES BUILDING IN HAITI, AT DUVAL ROCHE, HAITI.   THIS BUILDING WAS BRO. AUGUSTIN'S SCHOOL WHERE 145 KIDS ATTEND,  THE MISSION QUARTERS AND KITCHEN WHERE WE STAY WHEN WE GO TO HAITI,  AND BRO. AUGUSTIN'S HOME.    ALSO THERE IS A COMPUTER SCHOOL HERE THAT WAS TEACHING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO USE COMPUTERS, AND ALSO OUR CHILDRENS HOME.      IT IS A TOTAL LOSS.   BRO. AUGUSTIN HAS BEEN BUILDING ON THIS BUILDING FOR ABOUT 27 YEARS.  HE HAS WORKED A LITTLE HERE AND A LITTLE THERE, SCRIMPING AND SCRAPING TO GET IT DONE.  HE JUST HAD IT LOOKING DECENT.   IN ONE DAY IT WAS ALL GONE.   HE HAS ALSO TOLD US IN HIS LETTER THAT HE HAS 5 OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS DEAD FROM THE EARTHQUAKE.  THEY NEED PLENTY OF HELP AND PLENTY OF PRAYER.   WE WILL HAVE TO HELP THEM REBUILD, THEY ARE OUR PEOPLE, OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT WE LOVE SO MUCH.  THIS IS OUR HEADQUARTERS BUILDING.   BRO. AUGUSTIN DOES SUCH A GREAT WORK NOT JUST FOR CGMA PEOPLE FOR THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF DUVAL ROCHE.  HE HAS A BIG COMMUNITY GARDEN PROJECT THAT FEEDS THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF DUVAL ROCHE.  THE ONLY SCHOOL IN THIS VILLAGE IS HIS THAT WAS IN THIS BUILDING.    HE NEEDS OUR HELP,   WE MUST HELP HIM,  HE IS A GREAT MAN OF GOD, THAT IS DOING A GREAT WORK  THERE.

HENRI JEAN MERCIDIEU, OUR BELOVED BROTHER ALSO IN HAITI THAT WE SPONSOR THERE HAS 26 CHURCHES,  6 SCHOOLS, AND A CHILDRENS HOME , THAT SEVERAL OF OUR CGMA MEMBERS SPONSOR( ADOPT A CHILD)  EVERY MONTH.   ALSO OUR BELOVED BROTHER GERARD GANTHIER AND HIS WIFE SIS. SULTANE GANTHIER THAT WE SPONSOR EVERY MONTH HAVE 11 CHURCHES,  SONSHINE CHILDREN'S HOME WITH 37 KIDS,  AND A SCHOOL. 

 

WE HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH BRO. AUGUSTIN, BUT CANNOT GET AHOLD OF BRO. MERCIDIEU WITH LOVE 4 KIDS CHILDREN'S HOME, OR BRO. AND SIS GANTHIER AND SONSHINE CHILDRENS HOME.  I HAVE TRIED SINCE THE EARTHQUAKE TO CONTACT THESE BY THEIR E-MAIL ADDRESSES, AND ALL OF THEIR DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS.   AS SOON AS WE HEAR FROM THEM I WILL POST IT ON OUR ASSEMBLY WEBSITE AND OUR FACEBOOK.
