Deidox

This weeks story comes from a good friend of Deidox and fellow filmmaker Chris Sinclair.  In the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, Pastor Ronel Mesidor turned his church and home into shelters for aid.  This short documentary tells how God used one man to offer comfort and hope in the midst of tragedy.

What is True Story Tuesday? Since the goal of Deidox is to tell true stories of how God is at work, very often we hear of powerful stories or situations that for one reason or another haven’t been made into a Deidox film. (Or, perhaps we should say they haven’t been made into films “yet.” You never know what the future might bring.) So every tuesday is True Story Tuesday where on our blog we post a quick story about how God is at work.

We have a video to share with you today, and we think you’ll find it quite inspiring.

For those who haven’t been following our tweets (Deidox), a former boss of Brent’s was in Haiti filming for Compassion International when the earthquake hit. For 65 hours after the earthquake hit nobody heard anything from Dan Woolley. His last known whereabouts was the Hotel Montana, which if you look at the picture below was completely wiped out during the quake. Yet miraculously Dan survived, pulled out of the rubble after 65 hours. In the above video you will hear of the ordeal firsthand, with Dan boldly proclaiming how God brought him through.

Extra bonus: If you’d like to hear more, Dan’s story was also featured on NPR.
