How much money do we send them? Time to cut it off and let them go caveman on each other. That country is lost and gone. I don't have ANY idea that someone would go there to save the "people." It's a lost cause.
I understand wanting to help and feel sorry for the families
But tens of thousands maybe millions here in the states could use the support and money
Why go to a crap hole country the USA gives millions of dollars to the war lords and leaders yet the peope risk their life to help the people no worse off than alot of Americans
That's just terrible. 🙏

Haiti has been a craphole for over 200 years. At one time it was the RICHEST Colonial colony on Earth. lt produced a crop we are ALL addicted to. SUGAR! After the French Revolution the laborers rebelled against management and sent them packing. Labor quit their jobs and took over. Why labor has done such a POOR job running the place is a mystery to me. l think they rank #147 in prosperity-Right behind Antartica😲

May sound callous BUT: They asked for what they got. One of Daughter's friends married a 'missionary' and moved to one of the Caribbean crapholes. The young woman lived in constant fear of a similar fate until she finally just left the missionary dude and moved back to the US. Took a long time to clear all the internal wigglies from her body.
I can remember a time when if anything like that happened to an American,the next American the thugs had to deal with was the USMC and they were not quite as easy to bully as the missionaries.
His parents have been friends of mine for many years. I remember when he was just a small boy.
You don’t become a foreign missionary to feel safe, secure, and comfortable. Americans have every opportunity to hear and make a personal choice regarding the Gospel. Those in “craphole” countries do not. Giving them a chance takes risk, and missionaries often take that risk. That’s not exactly “asking for it.”
My heart goes out to their families. Being a missionary takes tremendous faith. Sadly , some countries are way too dangerous to even contemplate going into,despite a desire to do God's work . Haiti tops the list
That hit pretty darn close to home for you folks. Please, when you have the opportunity and feel the time is right, pass on our condolences to his family.
I will. I know they appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

Amen to that.

One of the doctors I had for a while acoiple years back her husband is a missionary when I would vist we would talk a little about it
I think they went to Africa and South America cor sure
her husband and her enjoyed it
She told me a few times the locals wanted a photo with her as they had never had a picture taken with a white woman
My wife has cousin we have not seen in 40 years or soher son ,we were told spent s lot of time in Africa helping build wells and bridges churches and ehat ever was neded when he was in collage we have not heard from them in many years
Figure if sean penn and the "clintons" couldn't fix Haiti that should've been a clue. Also don't these younger folks watch movies like "The Serpent And The Rainbow"? Things got worse since that movie but people still o there?
I have no 'faith' in anything except the hands I was born with and the mental processes I've learned.
Others can 'believe' as they choose.
The funeral for Davy and Natalie Lloyd will be on Tuesday, June 4th in Neosho, Mo. My wife and I are planning to be there. Thanks for all who have prayed for the families of those who were murdered in Haiti.
