Irma Aftermath Update
“You are incapable of imagining how this town was left after the hurricane; you wouldn’t recognize it. There is destruction everywhere. Many people literally lost their roofs over their heads or their house; schools and work centers are destroyed. Today it rained a great deal. It rained on all the belongings of the people whose house is without roof or damaged. It is not easy. Food is still difficult to find and diarrhea is rampant.
Our church is helping the town people as much as we can. Although 90% of Remedios now has electricity, the church still does not have power. Yet we continue to cook for others and distribute food.
It is a time to demonstrate the love of Christ to others. And I know that you are doing everything possible to help our church help others.”
Today we received this e-mail from Ivelise who is part of the youth group of the church in Remedios; she sings in the worship team and is starting her sophomore year at the University. She’s second from left in the photo.

Your donations are being distributed, in both Remedios and Buenavista, as rice, beans, oil, eggs, soap, medicines, charcoal for cooking. Plus a heavy dose of love and caring. The church in Cuba is working tirelessly to help people affected by Irma. Pray for endurance, wisdom and peace. Recovery is a long-term process. It will take time for food supplies to be readily available and to rebuild.
