I dont have confirmation on this yet but Seguin does not seem to have felt the quake very much. Seguin is the home of 5 of our 6 boys. I hope to hear soon whether their families are well.
Mackenson is in the North of Haiti, safe and sound with his family

Keep praying and giving-Mackenson is well
Thanks to God we did hear from Mackenson. He is fine, and was in the north of Haiti where the Quake was not felt. Praise the Lord that he is fine. He was encouraged by our amazing JIH team to stay with his family.
The boys are in Seguin, JIH Director sent them with money for transportation as well as help for their families. We are so thankful. Seguin is relatively close to Port Au Prince as well and is high in the mountains. We pray that their families are allright. You can look on the mountains for Seguin. Nixon pinpointed it between Kenscoff and Marigot, under the capital of Port Au Prince.
Our hearts are with our boys.
Joy In Hope team is doing their best to help the people in the Jacmel area. They need finances to do so though.

We hope to hear from Mackenson soon
Dearest friends and family, January 14, 2010
Greetings in the name of our Lord. Nixon and I are doing well. We are trying to keep busy, keeping informed as to what is happening back home and trying to raise awareness as well as funds for our area. We understand that Port is in terrible shape but the surrounding areas were also greatly impacted. Our concern is that the majority of the help will go to Port and the surrounding areas will be the last to get aid. Jacmel, the small city in which we work is in devastated. Our goal right now is to get funds sent over there to help in the relief efforts made to help the city of Jacmel as well as it’s surrounding areas. Here is how you can get funds to Joy In Hope.

Our boys spent their first night at the Mangine house, sleeping under the stars.

Our boys spent their first night at the Mangine house, sleeping under the stars.
Yesterday morning the boys went up into the mountains of Seguin, about two hours east of Jacmel, in order to check on their own families. Nixon and I expected that. We are a concerned about Mackenson, one of our boys in the Boy’s Home. He was having trouble finding the finances to come down and go back to school so he had not arrived back to Jacmel. We are hoping and praying that Mackenson was in the northern part of Haiti and was not at all affected by the Earthquake. Please keep Mackenson in your prayers.

The earthquake
Nixon and I are in N.C. right now and are getting ready to head back to Haiti. Right now we don't know when we will go back to Haiti. If we can fly into the Dominican Republic we could get into Port Au Prince but we are questioning whether we can get to Jacmel since the roads are in terrible shape.
The Rue Petion building which houses the Boy's Home, guest house, and our home has been evacuated. The boys have been relocated to the Mangine house and we are eternally grateful. We have not been able to talk to our boys or any of the JIH staff since the phone lines are down. Thanks to the grace of God, the internet has been up and we have been able to receive updates.
We hope to communicate with our boys tomorrow. Our prayers are with our people in Haiti.
We feel so helpless and yet we are selfishly thankful that our boys and all JIH are ok.
I will keep posting updates as we know more.
Please visit joyinhope.org to help. Haiti will need so much help in the near future.
