Samaritan’s Purse responds to Haiti earthquake
January 29, 2010
Two trucks left the Samaritan’s Purse compound in Haiti this morning carrying 1,000 family relief kits to a distribution site in the Cite Soleil slums in Port-au-Prince.
People from the community were waiting inside Eglise Chretienne Des Cites, the Christian Church of the Cities, located in the heart of Cite Soleil. Each person represented a family in need from one of the poorest slums in the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere.
Each packet contained shelter material, a hygiene kit, a blanket, and a collapsible container for carrying water.
“We are here to show Christian love,” Samaritan’s Purse team leader David Torres told the crowd. “Thousands and thousands and thousands of Christians around the world are praying for you and giving so we can provide the materials we have for you today.”
Senior Pastor Leon Dorleans then shared the Gospel and give instructions for the distribution.
The people were dismissed from the church in groups of 50. One by one, each person passed by the Samaritan’s Purse trucks, received a relief kit and moved into a holding area on the church compound. Once every person had a kit, they were allowed to disperse back into the community.
“This is great. Very well organized,” said 1st Lieutenant Robert Auletta, the officer in charge of the distribution detail. “We have seen other distributions that have become tense, but this is going really well. We will be more than happy to help Samaritan’s Purse with further distributions.”
It looked like a sea of Samaritan’s Purse blue as the people left the church compound and flooded back to their earth quake-damaged homes in Cite Soleil. Everyone had a clear presentation of the Gospel fresh in their minds, and a tangible expression of love and hope in their arms.
More than 200,000 people live within the four-square-mile area that encompasses Cite Soliel. Samaritan’s Purse is planning more distributions in Cite Soliel communities, with the assistance of local churches and Christian leaders like Pastor Dorleans.
“God bless Samaritan’s Purse for what you are doing in Cite Soleil,” Pastor Dorleans said. “This is what we live for—this is what I live for—telling the people about Jesus Christ!”
