Finally connected with Renel's Dad

I was finally able to get through to my father-in-law, Rechel, this morning.  They are in a small mountain community called Bouva (close to Gonaives).  It was so good to talk to him & my mother-in-law!  They described the weather as "heavy rain and severe wind" and said that their gardens (mostly banana trees) have been completely destroyed already.  Their house is standing but shaking in the wind.

They were not happy when I said it was likely going to get a lot worse this afternoon / evening.  Please pray for their safety and the safety of their surrounding community.  Many kids at H2H have family in Bouva as it is Pastor Luc's home town... Rechel is his older brother.

Here is a picture of Rechel's house (which is similar, if not better, than many homes in the area):

And here is proud Rechel showing off his garden to my husband, Renel:
