Live! On Air - Radio Shalom

Today I was scheduled to be interviewed on the most popular radio channel in the Port-au-Prince area of Haiti. They were doing a call in show with some prize and while they people were gearing up to call in we were live on air...


Radio Shalom is a Christian radio station that at the moment has the most listeners. They are very popular in Port-au-Prince. And given the low literacy rate that we were acutely made aware of yesterday, using the radio is the best tool in creating awareness for this event.

Otherwise, Pastor Hudson and myself have been working with customs today and tomorrow we will head to the DR/Haiti border to clear container no 1. PRAY for God's favor!



In the mean time my pre team of two, Marcus Urso and Gunnar-André Lund have been reading up on sound manuals in preparation for the arrival of the gear. We have been going through different scenarios and started up the different softwares that will monitor and run the system... Learning by trying is the fastest school.


Port-au-Prince is a bustling city with lots of activity around the clock it seems like. Driving around the city today we saw piles of rubble where there used to be houses. In some places whole city blocks lay in ruins... In other places UN personnel were clearing sites and loading smashed concrete unto waiting trucks... The rebuilding of Port-au-Prince starts with removing all the rubble and tearing down the partly destroyed houses and structures that still partly stand. Once everything is gone, then the actual rebuilding can commence...


Also, as we were driving around town today, in every place that used to be an open area we now saw tent camps set up - be it a park, or just an open field, or even along side main roads - tents, tents and more tents. At the airport we saw big trucks clearing customs loaded with new tents that will be distributed to people that lost everything.


Every family in the Port-au-Prince region was affected by this disaster - officially 250,000 people died during the quake - but many more died in the hospitals or due to lack of care... No one knows the actual number. Over 2 million people lived in the main area where the quake hit. Many of these people are now displaced around the whole country with nothing left.

It is time for Haiti to receive the Gospel of Hope! Jesus Christ is their hope in glory! Believe with me for a great breakthrough among these people!

Until next time...
