Seventh-day Adventist leaders have teamed up with ADRA to distribute supplies and offer encouragement to thousands of families affected by Hurricane Matthew in the Caribbean Sea.
Hurricane Matthew killed about 900 people in Haiti and then tore through Cuba and The Bahamas, destroying hundreds of buildings, including at least seven Adventist churches.
No deaths among Seventh-day Adventists have been reported, said Israel Leito, president of the church’s Inter-American Division, who maintained daily telephone contact with church leaders in Haiti, Cuba, and The Bahamas during the storm.
