After the Hurricane

Thank you all for your prayers. I know that prayers have been lifted on the behalf of all the christians and students in the Corozal area. Yes, the area was hit pretty hard. Fortunately, we have not heard of any deaths, so far.
Let me begin by saying that when preparations began, our school was the first to open it's doors to provide shelter for many families in the area. This was reported by one of the christians in Belize City. Jerry has received emails from Belize City. She has yet to receive any information from Corozal.
Corozal District is without power or telephone lines. There is lots to clean up. So far, we have heard that the front porch of the church was torn off. We also have been informed that about 12 homes have been destroyed in one of the poor areas of Corozal. We believe that one of our teachers and a few of our students live in this area. It will most likely take a couple of weeks for the area to regain electric power. Please pray for their safety and health during this time.

Jerry is waiting to hear from Jorge, the general manager of the school. Once we hear from Jorge we will know more information on how to help.

Soon as more information is received we will share it with you. Once again, thank you for your prayers and thoughts during this time.
