Please pray for Pastor Raul, one of our EFC pastors in Haiti (pictured on the left). His village was recently overrun by a violent gang.

As of now, there are no elected officials in the existing government. Kidnappings, rape, and violent crimes continue to rise dramatically in the midst of the power vacuum.<\/p>\n
EFM missionaries, William and Marie Bertrand, are currently in Florida, unable to return to Haiti at this time because gangs control the roads between the airport and their home.<\/p>\n

For the way to open for William and Marie Bertrand to return to Haiti soon<\/li>\n
