The first well pump fixed after the earthquake

We began our relief effort in Croix de Bouquet, a suburb of Port au Prince. This is the first family I talked with, a family whose entire house and belongings were turned to rubble. I was so reluctant to talk with them as I knew I had few if any words of comfort. The despair around us was so intimidating but I smiled and said, “God bless you”. They smiled and continued to stack pieces of block and to cook breakfast on the ground. It was as if they had to do something to give life some structure and meaning. We sent them food over from our work site and told them they were in our prayers. They waved and smiled again. Our efforts seemed so small. Pastor Rick
