January 20 new on Aftershock


A magnitude 6.1 tremor struck north-west of Port-au-Prince at 0603 local time (1103 GMT). We have had no news from our ministry colleagues for several days - we are especially concerned for Rev. Wilbert's family, as well as Rev. Serge's family. Our prayers continue.

Pastor Serge had noted that his mother lived in the town of Leogane. The New York Times reports today that US Marines have arrived there with aid - this is good news, hopefully his mom, Notremise, and family and friends, are getting the help they need.

"Meanwhile, 125 Marines arrived in helicopters in the damaged farming town of Léogâne, south of the capital, delivering cases of water and food."
