THE DOCTOR IS IN

The DoctorWe spent the day back in “soccer city”. Our team saw over 150 patients. Becky did an incredible job! She saw patients at the clinic from 8:30 am to 4 pm with a short lunch break. The clinic is in a tent where it is very warm. The consenus is that many are suffering from post traumatic stress. We had an aftershock this morning and it really had a big impact on some of the Haitians that work for World Hope.
Our time with the children was awesome! Billy Bass the singing fish did a great job. We ministered to over 200 children and Sue did a good job teaching the children.
There is still a huge need here. Many families are without food and many relief agencies have left Haiti. Many go days without a meal.

FAST START

We arrived in Miami at 1am this morning at our hotel and then were back up at 4am to catch our flight to Haiti. Right after we cleared customs we went direct to a tent city of 7000 on a former soccer field.

Dr Becky immediately went to work at a clinic where she helped treat over 140 people! The rest of the team worked with the children, hundreds of them. Sue lead the children in songs, they caught on fast! Then Sue joined Becky and went from singer to nurse. Joe, Tom & Kyle prayed over the people at the clinic. Many prayers for God to protect them from evil spirits and for their health. Conditions have not improved much since the quake. Please pray for God to intervene and raise up leadership in Haiti. The team wants to say hello to all our loved ones. Thank you for your prayers, we feel them! We read your comments tonight. Please continue.

Joe says hello to Heather, Ashlyn, Aiden, Mom & Dad

Happy Birthday Pastor Wes

FINAL FULL DAY IN HAITI

Today was our last final day here in Haiti. It was a pretty relaxing day. We got up in the morning and went to church right outside of the compound. It was a great experience to attend a Hatian church and see the people worship God.

After church we came back to the house and hung out with the local kids for a few hours before we went on our tour of PaP and Haiti. Tony came and picked us up and took is on a tour of downtown PaP where we could see the damage that took place from the earthquake. He also took us up to the top of a mountain overlooking PaP and most of Haiti, it was beautiul. On our way back to the compound we stopped at a little market and picked up a few things to take home with us.

Once we got home we spent a few hours talking with Tony about our week and experiences here in Haiti. We had so many stories to tell him. After he left we had our bible study and spent the rest of the night hanging out with the kids and talking with them.

We are leaving for the airport tomorrow at 7:00 am and our flight leaves ar 11:45 am to take us back to the US. We can’t wait to be back in Michigan and be able to share all of our stories with you. Please pray for safe travels for us tomorrow as we return to Michigan.
