21 April, 2011 Thursday

A FIRST....David has been preaching all this week at Second Baptist Church PAP. He and Pastor Kelly do this week long conference each year the week before Easter. This is always broad casted on radio and internet. They normally leave for town around 3:30pm. Yesterday....for the first time in 28 years...David had to cancel going a service due to problems in the country. David and Kelly couldn't get out of their driveways. David had made two trips into the airport yesterday morning and returned with no problems. Sheryl and Chris went to the bank and on their return realized about a block before turning into our driveway that the road was blocked. They were able to go off the road and down by our water fountain following the fence into our road. After this NOTHING passed north or south for 6 hours. The people of TiTanyen had blocked the main road north and south manifesting (demonstrating) to encourage the Cement plant to give them electricity. For about a year TiTanyen has had current for about 4 hrs a night. Since Jan. they haven't had any. This was their way of expressing their displeasure with the government. About 4 pm the "swat team" of the Haitian police showed up and started tear gasing the crowds. All afternoon there was lots of shooting. PTL! no one was injured. Lots of people were affected by the tear gas. Many were struggling with breathing and lots of sore throats and coughing.
TODAY....all is clear. Don't know what the outcome of all this manifesting will be. Please pray for all involved.
