photos - destruction - part 1

2 of the members of our Coram Deo family died at the GOC University which is located on Ave. Martin Luther King. Samuel Marcelin and Jackenmy Milien never made it out of the building after the earthquake hit. What follows shows what happened to the building and the students inside. The third photo is graphic in that it shows the harshness of death. Scroll down if you don't want to see it.

This is the building site of the GOC University. It was a large beautiful building that crumbled in seconds.

We were at the site yesterday. The government officially declared an end to all rescue operations on Wednesday. Now it is a matter of bringing in the big equipment to remove the rubble.

**WARNING** This next photo is graphic.

There are still bodies in the rubble of the site. In this photo are the remains of 3 people. There are also human bones strewn amongst the rubble. This was the fate of Samuel and Jackenmy. We don't know if their bodies were removed or are still hidden in the rubble. We know that they are Christians who are now in heaven and what they left behind is their "shell". Please keep their families and all the families who lost loved ones here in Haiti in prayer.

What we need to remember is who they were. Jackenmy is the young man standing to the right. He was a dedicated young man who worked hard to get ahead in life and was a caring and patient teacher for the handicapped children. It will be difficult to find another person like him.

Samuel Marcelin is shown carrying a box of food in the background. Amos, his younger brother is in front. Samuel is now with the Lord and Amos is carrying on helping the injured. He worked tirelessly with us as we raced to help the wounded. Yesterday he was worn out and sick but rested the day and is now feeling better. Pray for Amos as he mourns the loss of his brother and works to help his people.
