AMI update

Hi Everyone,
 
Sorry about the lack of communication yesterday. I just didn’t get a chance to sit down long enough to type something up.
 
I spoke to the team this morning. They are all doing well and seem to be in a little more of a routine. They are back at the same hospital today that they have been at a couple of days now. They are still seeing the same wounds though the onslaught has slowed a bit – possibly because they are not hitting new locations. As things have settled, there has been great communication and coordination between our team and some others that they are working alongside. It is really a picture of the body of Christ working all together!
 
One encouraging story that our pastor shared this morning (he just returned last night): There was a young boy with a broken arm, broken leg, and head injury. Our team did not have the means to treat his possible brain injury but knew he needed help immediately. A young man that has been working with our team took this boy and started to drive him to get help. He drove to the airport and as God would have it, Sanjay Gupta (CNN’s neurosurgeon/reporter) was finishing up a report and the boy was taken over to him. With Dr. Gupta’s assistance, within minutes the boy was on a helicopter being flown to the USS Comfort, a floating navy hospital right off the coast of Haiti . Miracles like this are happening every day!
 
One specific prayer request from the team- one of the team members is sick today – achy and feverish. Please lift him up and ask that he will be quickly and completely healed so he can continue to minister to the Haitians!
 
The next medical team departs less than 12 hours to head over. They are bringing much fresh supplies as well as fresh energy and excitement to serve. Please continue to lift up this team as they will be there until Jan 31.
 
Here is another article that mentions our team at work http://www.redeemhaiti.org/ They are certainly getting good coverage!!
 
For His Glory,
Heather
