With the earthquake relief effort continuing in Haiti, a Markdale minister is concerned he hasn’t heard from people he knows in the country.
Reverand Dwight Strain has been to Haiti a number of times, and was instrumental in establishing a school not far from Jacmel.
The school operates as an elementary school in the morning, high school in the afternoon and a seminary at night.
He also set up the first Presbyterian church in the country but says there is little or no communication coming out of Haiti.
Strain says not only can he not contact the workers he knows in the quake ravaged country, but they cannot contact each other.
He says at the best of times, communication is poor in the island nation.
Reverand Strain says it is a tragedy like the world has never seen, and he thinks most of the country will have to be rebuilt.
