PCM-Haiti

Greetings, Randy just got off the phone with Eddy in Haiti so we wanted to send you an update on what we have learned. Chuck Davis with Caribbean Vision Ministries (CVM) was just in Haiti and was able to see that the 24ft truck arrived the day he was departing with many of the supplies that you all helped to fill the truck. This is a tremendous blessing for Eddy. There is much need still in Haiti. We were able to send over $15,000 of the money that has been raised to do repairs to the buildings. Monday of this next week, repair of rebar in the concrete will begin at the church and school. Eddy had an engineer in Haiti look at the buildings damage but he is trying to have an American engineer come look as well to determine if they are safe to inhabit.

Eddy & Mirlande have both been working non-stop and are very tired. There are still huge tent cities being established for people to live as there is no lodging. There is a huge need for more tents. The Haitian government had stated that they would not charge the taxes for tents to be shipped to Haiti but this is not the case for when Eddy goes to pick up packages of tents shipped to him the patrol still charges him exorbitant amount of taxes. He would prefer cash so he can purchase tents there in Haiti so he does not have to pay the border taxes. He is able to access funds immediately from us through his bank account. So if you can help with purchases of additional tents you can do so in one of two ways; 1. go to the Earthquake link and donate through paypal and write tents in the subject line or body of email (We do receive these statements and will send out year end giving statements of these donations)(fastest process) or 2. send a check to PCM and write tents in the memo line and mail it to our address.

Mailing Address: PCM, PO Box 1394, Vienna, VA 22183-1394 (Tents in the memo line)

Eddy shared that 500 members from their church have left the area to move to other cities where they could live with other family and re-establish their lives. But God has blessed them and they had 500 new people at worship this past Sunday. Recently they held a 2-day medical clinic at the church with 200 folks coming through with medical needs. God is doing mighty work through Eddy for HIS people in Haiti.

Randy & Linda Beeman (forwarding agents) will be hosting a booth at the North American Christian Convention in Indianapolis, IN this July to display information regarding PCM – Preaching Christ to the Multitudes and sharing the enormous amount of needs for the Haitian people. Chuck Davis with CVM is sharing some video footage with us that he was able to take while in Haiti so that we can display this video loop at the booth. We are in need of additional supporters so that we can raise additional funds to make the necessary repairs to the church and school. Eddy shares that he thinks they can re-open the school this August.

Thank you all for your support of Eddy Bazin, God’s servant in Haiti and PCM. Please continue to pray for Eddy & Mirlande and their ministry. Pray that God will supply our needs in supporting this ministry and raising funds for the repairs to the buildings at the PCM compound.
