			<title>IPHC Plans to Rebuild Haitian Communities</title>
			<link>http://comm.iphc.org/blog5.php/2010/01/22/iphc-plans-to-rebuild-haitian-communitie</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:00:04 +0000</pubDate>			<dc:creator>World Missions Staff</dc:creator>
			<category domain="alt">People to People</category>
<category domain="alt">Darrel &amp; Bonnie Clowers</category>
<category domain="main">Haiti</category>
<category domain="alt">Disaster Relief</category>			<guid isPermaLink="false">366@http://comm.iphc.org/</guid>
						<description>&lt;p&gt;Darrel and Bonnie Clowers are IPHC missionaries to the Dominican Republic. They are leading our Haiti disaster relief efforts, and they sent additional information today concerning the plan to assist Haitian communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, the Clowers continue to coordinate flights of emergency relief supplies into Haiti. Food, water, medicine, and other supplies are being purchased in the Dominican Republic, and the supplies are flown directly to our Haitian church leaders in Port-au-Prince for distribution. The supplies are distributed to people staying at the IPHC ministry complex in northwest Port-au-Prince, which is located in a neighborhood that was severely damaged. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since Matt Bennett reports that he saw no other aid distributed in this area, People to People desires to keep sending supplies. Cash donations to People to People's Haiti relief fund allow our the Clowers to purchase these supplies, and the direct flights into Haiti provided for free by Agape Flights. It costs over $2000 to fill a plane with supplies, so churches are urged to donate generously to People to People's disaster relief fund.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In addition to emergency supplies, the IPHC will work to rebuild Haitian churches and communities. We will follow a three-phase strategy.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;ol&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Repairing the Compound to House Teams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is a 200 yard breach in the perimeter wall. The back wall is leaning, but is possible that it may &lt;br /&gt;
all. So, we are trying purchase cement and have our Haitian brothers repair this wall. The plumbing a and electrical are in disarray and a small team is doing that repair. They will fix the showers, toilets and electrical problems.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Providing needed items&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Cartain items are difficult or extremely expensive to purchase in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Thus, we plan to ship the following to Haiti as soon as possible:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Shipping Containers&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;2 Distribution Vehicles &amp;#8211; Rugged and off-Road Trucks&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Bull Dozer&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Back Hoe&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Cement Mixer&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;4 Portable Generators Honda EU2000i&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;2 Larger Generators At least 6500 watts&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Water Purifications Systems&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Tools - Shovels, Pick Axes, Sledge Hammers, Wheel Barrels&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;28 &amp;#8211; 32 Extension ladders&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;PVC Pipes and Fittings&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We also need the following medical supplies or money to purchase them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Anti-biotic&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Wound Care&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Pain Medicines&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Vitamins for Adults and Children&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Wheel Chairs&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Crutches&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Braces&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Hypertension Medicines&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Diabetes Medicines&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Asthma Medicines&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;o Allergy Medicines&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;o Bandages&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;o Wraps&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;o General Clinic Needs&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;o Over the Counter Medicines.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;/li&gt;


  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Organizing Ministry Teams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Send the dates of availability, number in team, type of team ( i.e. medical, construction), Team Leader name and contact information.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Ways that you can help:&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Pray&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ptp.iphc.org/disaster/haiti.html&quot;&gt;Donate online&lt;/a&gt; or mail donations to People to People, project #15&lt;/li&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Darrel and Bonnie Clowers informed us that 3 Agape planes left this morning, carrying 4000lbs of food and supplies! Praise God for His provision and grace upon our national leaders and missionaries!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It takes about $2,200 to buy 2500lbs of food; thank you for your continual prayers and financial support. Agape flights will continue to fly our supplies at no cost from the Dominican Republic to Haiti if we can fill the planes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Clowers shared that they are in desperate need of vehicles. If you know of anyone wanting to donate a truck, please contact our office at 1-888-474-2966 ext. 3212. Vehicles can be shipped in containers or money can be donated to purchase them in the Dominican Republic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to the latest reports we have received, the damage on our churches has been minimal, as well as the number of deaths in our families. We are thankful to God for His protection.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's keep praying, giving, and doing all we can to help our brothers and sisters from Haiti, in such a desperate time of need.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As expected, the damage to IPHC homes in Port-au-Prince is extensive. The IPHC's compound in Port-au-Prince has sustained some damage, but it is standing. Almost all of the homes in the surrounding community were destroyed, including the homes of nearly every IPHC family. &lt;a href=&quot;http://comm.iphc.org/blog5.php/2010/01/18/haitians-staying-at-iphc-compound-in-por&quot;&gt;Many local families are staying at the IPHC compound, and they need water, food, medicine, and fuel.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Early reports indicate that nearly every IPHC member in Haiti has lost at least one family member. The director of one of People to People's schools, Cabaret, is among the dead. Thankfully, the national leadership and the assessment team have not heard of any People to People children who were killed; early reports indicate that all of the children have survived.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;World Missions Ministries continues to urge people to pray for the people of Haiti:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Pray that supply lines for essential supplies needed in Haiti will be opened up. &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Pray for the survivors as they grieve the loss of family members.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Pray for those who are injured, sick, or without food and water.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ptp.iphc.org/disaster/haiti.html&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, please donate generously to disaster relief.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;The IPHC's initial response team in Haiti reports that the compound in Port-au-Prince has sustained some damage to a security wall, but the buildings are standing. Nearly all the homes surrounding the compound have been completely destroyed, including the homes of many IPHC members. Many local families and IPHC believers are staying at the church compound. The team reports that there is an urgent need for food, water, medicine, and fuel at the compound to assist these survivors. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Monetary donations to People to People's disaster relief fund will allow our missionaries and churches in the Dominican Republic to purchase supplies for distribution in Haiti. Because of the high costs and delays associated with international shipping, cash donations are prefered over donations of needed items. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ptp.iphc.org/disaster/haiti.html&quot;&gt;To give instantly online, please click here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, donated items can be shipped to the following address. Please contribute $1.50 per pound to Darrel and Bonnie Clowers' ministry account (#66044) to cover the cost of shipping the items to Haiti.  &lt;br /&gt;
