Travel Day

Please pray for several people who will be traveling today. Joe, Jason & Kerrie will be traveling from Port-au-Prince back to Northwest Arkansas, arriving late this evening. Also, the 11 members of the medical team traveled by bus to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic yesterday and will be flying back to the Birmingham, AL area today. Pray for safe travel for each of them. Also, as they reflect on the past several days, pray that God will continue to work in their hearts and lives helping them to put into words what they have experienced while in Haiti and that He will use them to convey the immense needs to everyone they come in contact with once they've returned home.

Thank you to all of the team members for their hard work over the past several days. Even with wind, rain, hot sun, and significant aftershocks, the medical team was able to treat over 1,100 people during their time in the Gressier area! We have been praying for several years for God to allow us to have a medical team in the area and our prayers have been answered! We are praying other medical teams will be able to come and pick up where this team left off. As a result of the ministries this week, between 30 and 40 people came to know Christ as their Lord and Savior!

Pray for Norma, Daina, Rita, Christopher and the Joy House team as they prepare for a disaster relief team from Oklahoma to arrive today. We received word from Norma that the internet connection is back up and running (very slowly) so we hope to get more frequent updates from them. Once we have more information on what the OK team will be doing, we will pass it on to you.

Norma also reports the people of the area are getting very hungry and no feeding programs have made it into the area surrounding Joy House (village of Santos). Joy House has been approved to help distribute food with one of the feeding programs but have not yet been contacted by them to begin the process. Pray for food to arrive quickly in order to meet the needs of the hungry people of the area.
