Haiti: ‘God sent us an angel’
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Despite roadblocks in Haiti – both figurative and physical – the Baptist Global Response assessment team has gathered valuable information to shape a strategic response to the Jan. 12 earthquake and has already provided help for some of the island’s struggling people.
On Jan. 22, the five-member team began their work by trying to gain access to the Port-au-Prince airport in order to meet with other non-government organizational leaders. But the location is in high demand and access was limited. After waiting for more than an hour, team member Jim Brown, U.S. director for Baptist Global Response, sent out a prayer request about conditions at the airport.
“God literally sent us an angel,” Brown said.
