Haiti Still Needs Our Help... Message from Elisabeth Omilami ~ @eomilami

Hosea Feed The Hungry is working as hard as we can with our partners in Haiti. There are so many groups doing other things but I know Pastor Freddie Hebron personally and I know his heart.  Pastor Hebron and the Christian Revival Center of Savannah, GA have been our partners for our annual Haiti missions for years.  Pastor Hebron has just returned from Haiti just this last Friday. It was so good to hear his voice today! I have been so very worried about him to no end however because he is fine, his staff and group of Haitian interpreters (that we grew to love in our eight trips to Haiti) are fine as well. He has been honest with us and the Haiti missions team at Hosea Feed The Hungry. Pastor Hebron had food thousands of pop tarts in a warehouse there. As a matter of fact he was feeding people on the January 11th from the pop tarts! The people of Haiti were starving even before this quake. Then the next day the earthquake came and he continued to do the work he had been called to do. The mission house was devastated. When the quake hit he was upstairs in the mission house and there were two cooks in the kitchen preparing the evening meal. He didn't know what was happening. He had never experienced an earthquake before but when he felt the shaking and heard their screams he ran to the kitchen and the food that was on the stove shot out like a rocket. He grabbed them and stood on the balcony crying out for the Lord. Pastor Hebron watched and the buildings all around them dropped like toys, even the large hotel right up the street from him. And there were people crushed in those buildings but he and the ladies were spared. Praise be to God. He believes that this is Gods call to Haiti for repentance. He talked about the rich being the ones that would come to the witch doctors to make a pact with the evil one to keep their riches. We never saw that, there were ceremonies and sacrifices. That God in His divine mercy was giving Haiti a chance to redeem herself for He chastises those He loves. The rich were and are stealing from the poor: access to medicines, food, and housing. God's anger is evident. Supposed he sustained his wrath even longer, the whole island would have disintegrated. However, we must be strong and Hosea Feed The Hungry will do what we can do. He needs a truck driver, tractor trailer, to drive between Atlanta and Miami with goods that he is sending to Haiti. Pastor Hebron needs money to repair the house so we can come in and do the work we are called to do. He needs prayer. Let us keep our sense of urgency about this devastation and not go back to life as always being sucked into our own private self served existence. We have an opportunity to do something right now. Pastor Hebron says "where is the church" we have a window open now in Haiti for the gospel to be preached. Let's not miss the chance to share the love of Jesus with the lost. Many are ready to hear the word now. Pastor Hebron returns to Haiti for two weeks on Monday then back to Savannah to regroup then back to Haiti. We are in a battle for the souls of men. We will not shirk our duty at Hosea Feed The Hungry and we know you won't either.   Pastor Hebron needs money &  medical supplies:   Latex gloves (S-M-L) Mostly MEDIUM needed Hydrogen peroxide Betadine Rubbing alcohol 4 x 4s Medical tape Kerlix wrap Antibiotic ointment (e,g. Neosporin) Saline solution Antibacterial gel Baby wipes Sterile Long stemmed Q-tip Acetaminophen Aspirin Other Urgent Needs: A shipping company who will send trailers to Miami for US $1,200 & Sponsors for the containers to go to Haiti from Miami (approx.  4,000 lbs) If you have a definite reference or know of someone who would like to be a sponsor to assist with Haiti's urgent needs please call me at (404) 392- 6132   Other donations welcome at  www.hoseafeedthehungry.com

AP News: Haiti earthquake survivors get more food and water

Haiti earthquake survivors get more food and water

Story user rating:

Relief groups and officials are focused on moving aid flowing into Haiti to survivors of the powerful earthquake that hit the country on Tuesday. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Precious water, food and early glimmers of hope began reaching parched and hungry earthquake survivors Saturday on the streets of the ruined Haitian capital, but the island's despair threatened to spark a frenzy in places.

"People are so desperate for food that they are going crazy," said accountant Henry Ounche, standing in a crowd of hundreds who fought one another as U.S. military helicopters clattered overhead carrying aid.

Across the hilly, steamy city, people choked on the stench of death, and hope faded by the hour for finding many more victims alive in the rubble, four days after Tuesday's catastrophic earthquake.

Still, here and there, the murmur of buried victims spurred rescue crews on, even as aftershocks threatened to finish off crumbling buildings.

"No one's alive in there," a woman sobbed outside the wrecked Montana Hotel.

But hope wouldn't die. "We can hear a survivor!" search crew chief Alexander Luque of Namibia later reported. His men dug on.

Nobody knew how many were dead. In a fresh estimate, the Pan American Health Organization said 50,000 to 100,000 people perished in the quake. Haiti's prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, told The Associated Press that 100,000 would "seem to be the minimum." Truckloads of corpses were being trundled to mass graves.

A U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman declared the quake the worst disaster the international organization has ever faced, since so much government and U.N. capacity in the country was demolished. In that way, Elisabeth Byrs said in Geneva, it's worse than the cataclysmic Asian tsunami of 2004: "Everything is damaged."

Also Saturday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Port-au-Price to pledge more American assistance, and President Obama met with former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton to urge Americans to donate to Haiti relief efforts.

The U.N. also announced that the body of Haiti mission chief Hedi Annabi had been found in the rubble of collapsed headquarters.

Yet, despite the obstacles, the pace of aid delivery was picking up.

The Haitian government had established 14 distribution points for food and other supplies, and U.S. Army helicopters were reconnoitering for more. With eight city hospitals destroyed or damaged, aid groups opened five emergency health centers. Vital gear, such as water-purification units, was arriving from abroad.

On a hillside golf course overlooking the stricken capital, paratroopers of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division set up a base for handing out water and food.

After the initial frenzy among the waiting crowd, when helicopters could only hover and toss out their cargo, a second flight landed and soldiers passed food out to an orderly line of Haitians.

More American help was on the way: The U.S. Navy hospital ship Comfort steamed from the port of Baltimore on Saturday and was scheduled to arrive here Thursday. More than 2,000 Marines were set to sail from North Carolina, to support aid delivery and provide security.

Hillary Clinton offered assurances that the U.S. would be "as responsive as we need to be."

But for the estimated 300,000 newly homeless in the streets, plazas and parks of Port-au-Prince, help was far from assured.

"They're already starting to deliver food and water, but it's mayhem. People are hungry, everybody is asking for water," said Alain Denis, a resident of the Thomassin district.

Denis's home was intact, and he and his elderly parents have some reserves, but, he said, "in a week, I don't know."

Aid delivery was still bogged down by congestion at the Port-au-Prince airport, quake damage at the seaport, poor roads and the fear of looters and robbers.

The problems at the overloaded airport forced a big Red Cross aid mission to strike out overland from Santo Domingo, almost 200 miles away in the Dominican Republic. The convoy included up to 10 trucks carrying temporary shelters, a 50-bed field hospital and some 60 medical specialists.

"It's not possible to fly anything into Port-au-Prince right now. The airport is completely congested," Red Cross spokesman Paul Conneally said from the Dominican capital.

Another convoy from the Dominican Republic steered toward a U.N. base in Port-au-Prince without stopping, its leaders fearful of sparking a riot if they handed out aid themselves.

The airport congestion touched off diplomatic rows between the U.S. military and other donor nations.

France and Brazil both lodged official complaints that the U.S. military, in control of the international airport, had denied landing permission to relief flights from their countries.

Defense Minister Nelson Jobim, who has 7,000 Brazilian U.N. peacekeeping troops in Haiti, warned against viewing the rescue effort as a unilateral American mission.

The squabbling prompted Haitian President Rene Preval, speaking with the AP, to urge all to "keep our cool and coordinate and not throw accusations."

At a simpler level, unending logistical difficulties dogged the relief effort.

A commercial-sized jet landed with rescue and medical teams from Qatar, only to find problems offloading food aid. They asked the U.S. military for help, surgeon Dr. Mootaz Aly said, and were told: "We're busy."

As relief teams grappled with on-the-ground obstacles, the U.S. leadership promised to step up aid efforts. In Washington, Obama joined with his two most recent White House predecessors to appeal for Americans to donate to the cause.

"We stand united with the people of Haiti, who have shown such incredible resilience," he said.

Their resilience was truly being tested, however.

On a back street in Port-au-Prince, a half-dozen young men ripped water pipes off walls to suck out the few drops inside. "This is very, very bad, but I am too thirsty," said Pierre Louis Delmar.

Outside a warehouse, hundreds of desperate Haitians simply dropped to their knees when workers for the agency Food for the Poor announced they would distribute rice, beans and other supplies. "They started praying right then and there," said project director Clement Belizaire.

Children and the elderly were asked to step first into line, and some 1,500 people got food, soap and rubber sandals until supplies ran out, he said.

The aid official was overcome by the tragic scene. "This was the darkest day of everybody living in Port-au-Prince," he said.

As I read this article I am disturbed by the alleged foolishness of the US military not allowing other countries to land or come into Port-Au-Prince by controlling the international airport. "They [Qatar] asked the U.S. military for help, surgeon Dr. Mootaz Aly said, and were told: "We're busy.""

Who the hell do we think we are? Why is it that we are NOT allowing other nations to be allies with us in the endeavor to help Port-Au-Prince. "France and Brazil both lodged official complaints that the U.S. military, in control of the international airport, had denied landing permission to relief flights from their countries"

I am infuriated and appalled at the military's arrogance and insolence; the U.S.'s self righteousness and the need to always be portrayed as other nation's saviors or super power. No wonder why other countries hate us so much.

¿Question? Men when did you realize your fiancé/wife was the "ONE", your soul mate? More details here~~>

This question has presented itself for 4 reasons. 1) I am still waiting on my soul mate. 2) I thought he had found me but I was sadly mistaken (broke my heart and still recovering). 3) I was involved in a very intimate conversation with one of my cousin's and her fiancé probing them for their revelation anf found them very open, honest and engaging. 4) A facebook friend (Robb Robinson) posed the question and is getting very little response from the men.

So please respond... Give some insight as to "How you know she's the one". This message is not geared towards females just yet because it is the man who is to find the wife and obtain blessings from God.

The origin and meaning of the name Jamille

Many people often ask what is the meaning and origin of my name so I figured that I’d post a blog about it. My Full name is Ja’Mille Ta’Ressa (pronounced jay meal ~ tuh ressuh). I’ve not yet met anyone with my middle but have found numerous Ja’Mille’s on facebook ~BUT I AM STILL THE ONLY JA!!

Jamille

ºAfrican · Female

Variant of Jameelah. Beautiful (Somali and Swahili).

¹Arabic · Female

The girl's name Jamille \j(a)-mille, jam(il)-le\ is a variant of Jameelah (Arabic) and Jamila (Arabic), and the meaning of Jamille is "beautiful; lovely".

Jamille is an uncommon first name for women and an equally uncommon last name for both men and women. (1990 U.S. Census)

Displayed below is the baby name popularity trend for the girl name Jamille.

Compare Jamille with its source forms and related girl names.

The baby name Jamille sounds like Jamilla, Emille, Jamilia, Jamilah, Jamielee, Jamillia and Jemelle. Other similar baby names are Kamille and Camille.

Taressa

²Teresa, Theresa, and Therese (French: Thérèse) are feminine given names. The name is thought to be derived from the Greek verb therizein, meaning to harvest.

Its popularity likely increased due to the prominence of several Roman Catholic saints, including Teresa of Ávila, Thérèse of Lisieux and, most recently, Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

The popularity of this name in the United States over the last 15 years is falling, according to the US Census. Spelled "Theresa", it was ranked as the 852nd most popular name for girls born in 2008, down from 226th in 1992 (it ranked 65th in 1950, and 102nd in 1900). Spelled "Teresa", it was the 580th most popular name for girls born in 2008, down from 206th in 1992 (it ranked 81st in 1950, and 220th in 1900).

³The girl's name Teresa \t(e)-re-

sa\ is pronounced ter-REE-sah, ter-RAY-sah. It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "late summer". Popular variant of Theresa. The first bearers of this name might have been from the Greek island of Therasia. The popularity of two saints, Teresa of Avila and Therese of Lisieux, has resulted in the creation of many variants. Mother Teresa founded an order of nuns, the Missionaries of Charity, whose sisters help people in need around the world. Her work earned her the title "the saint of the gutters", and the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. See also Tracy. Actress Teresa Wright; basketball player Teresa Weatherspoon.

One Flaw In Women...

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. 
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

iask, Inc. call to prayer, fasting and meditation... Why not start the year off including God

Ms. Sophia Angeli Nelson, founder of I Am My Sister’s Keeper (iask, Inc.) has put a mandate out to all of us women/men to participate in a 21 Day Fast for Renewal & Rejuvenation Jan 1, 2010 Sun-up-Jan 21, 2010 Sundown. Our time can NEVER be recaptured or relived so what a wonderful way to start off the New Year – focusing on and investing in God.

I became acquainted with Ms. Sophia on Facebook while engaging in conversations on Warren Ballentine’s facebook profile (The #1 Truth Fighter). Ever since our association, she has been a inspiration and a source of strength to me. She appears to be very down-to-earth and genuinely concerned for the well-being of others.

I implore with you to join me in this iask, Inc. call to fast to strengthen our lives, our commitments to God and one another, our relationships (business, friends or family), our paradigms (to be shifted, strengthened or validated). ("For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matthew 18:20)

Below are the rules of engagement specified by iask, Inc…

Rules of Fast

1. Arise one half hour early each morning for prayer, bible reading and meditation.
2. Retire  no later than 11PM daily to rest your body—sleep is a natural healer and critical for hormone production in women’s bodies.
3. If  you fast regularly and your fasting routine is more rigorous than what has been set forth for this consecration, please feel free to do more than has been requested. I only ask that people not do less. 

What to eat during this time

Week of January 1st
Fruits, Vegetables (including nuts and beans), Juices and Teas only (pure juices only, no juice cocktails) clear broths
Week of January 8th
Fruits, Vegetables, Juices, Tea, Whole Grain Breads, Whole Grain Pasta, Brown Rice
Week of January 18th

• Fruits, Vegetables (including nuts and beans), Juices and Teas only (pure juices only, no juice cocktails)
• Clear broths which may be modify to include fish, Tofu or other protein (not beef, poultry) if necessary for health reasons
• Abstain from certain foods each week during the month (Daniel Fast)
• Natural sweeteners like raw honey are allowable
• No cakes, pies, cookies, candy, soda, juice cocktails, fried foods
• You can eat as often as you like, but smaller portions are recommended so that you keep your spirit open and clear
• Please avoid refined sugar, white rice, white flour [and anything made with it], margarine [beginning the third week use butter or olive oil] and foods with preservatives (Daniel Fast)

What to Read & Write during this Time

The following is a suggested reading list for each morning’s devotion. If you already have a devotional regiment that you follow, I am going to ask that you suspend that regiment for the month of January so that we are all reading the same thing. However, feel free to do more. You should be praying alone or with an accountability partner no less than 2-3 times per day. Early AM, Mid Afternoon-Evening...
