Mennonite work team and MCC staff safe in Haiti
by Steve Kriss with Anna GroffPrint Article Email to a Friend
A short-term work team in Haiti from Souderton (Pa.) Mennonite Church is safe, as are all Mennonite Central Committee international staff in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. A major earthquake hit the country on Jan. 12. MCC accounted for all except one staff member outside of Port-Au-Prince, and continues to work at making contact.
The work team of 27 people from the Souderton congregation and Christopher Dock Mennonite High School now wait for the reopening of roads and reestablishment of regular flights for a return to the United States. They left for Labaliene in the south of Haiti on Jan. 9.
Gerry Clemmer, lead pastor at Souderton Mennonite, said "We have been in phone contact with them. They are safe and the damage where they are is minimal compared to Port-au-Prince. The biggest challenge and need for prayer is how they will return to the United States. We are in touch with airlines and state department—not certain at this point how that will happen."
Franconia Mennonite Conference waits for contact with leaders of their Partner in Mission, Grace Assembly Network, in Haiti. Pastor Lesly Bertrand, leader of the network, lives with his family within Carrefour just outside of central Port-au-Prince—one of the areas most severely affected. Grace Assembly Network consists of 24 congregations, one orphanage and three schools.
While Franconia waits for contact and word of direct needs, a fund has been established for their Partner in Mission. MCC also welcomes contributions designated to the "Haiti Earthquake" fund.

Harper Beckham, in tiny Converse sneakers and pink jeans, cozied up to Victoria today during an afternoon stroll through Beijing. Victoria spent the day with Harper then changed into a sexy red dress paired with a snakeskin clutch, from her Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, for an event at Joyce boutique. The mother-daughter duo flew to Asia last week prior to the big unveiling of Victoria's latest collaboration with Range Rover. Last night she stepped out in one of her own designs to celebrate the debut of her Victoria Beckham special edition Evoque. David, and the boys missed out on the trip; however, stylist Ken Paves accompanied Victoria and Harper on the international adventure. Ken's been keeping Victoria's hair and makeup looking flawless during her press events, and she's documenting the process and updating Facebook and Twitter with their silly behind-the-scenes photos.
