An eventful day yesterday…the team made it into PAP yesterday afternoon after a long bus ride. They have seen a lot more of the damage first hand but have felt safe as they travel. They will be lodging nights at Quisqueya Christian College and heading out during the days to surrounding areas that need assistance. The good news about this location is that there are US military staying at the base as well so they feel very secure.
Today they are heading to an orphanage on the outskirts of town that has not received help yet. I am sure we will be getting reports back from their time there later today. They were told that this orphanage had 2000 students but do not know how many survived. They are expecting to see many of the same injuries they have already seen – crush injuries, broken bones, puncture wounds, etc.
God orchestrated a plane for our senior pastor and his wife to fly in this morning. Ross Perot’s company sent a plane full of doctors and supplies and we were able to secure 2 seats on the plane for Jimmy & Laura! They also were able to take in specific supplies that the doctors had requested. PLEASE PRAY however as I spoke to them this morning when the plane arrived and the supplies got mixed up somehow and now have gone missing. PRAY that our supplies would be identified and we would be able to quickly get them where they need to go!
Everyone continues to do well and we have reports that the team dynamics are wonderful. They have sufficient food and water and continue to have great favor with authorities there!

Do you know of a way for a group of approximately 1500 people at the Evangelical Christian Church in Haiti to get some desperately needed care? I personally know the pastor (a native Haitian) and these people have no food, water, or medical care. I also know Brian personally and am wondering if he would know of any way to get help to these people...either through his team or by providing assistance to get another team there. We have the GPS coordinates of where this church is located. Anything Brian or the team could do would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the FB page for the missionary pastor I just referred to. His name is Gersan Valcin. http://www.facebook.com/dguinn?v=feed&story_fbid=279842783254#/group.php?gid=253775518646&ref=mf
ReplyDeleteI meant to post it before. We realize all the needs in Haiti are great but are just trying our best to get help to this group that has not yet received any. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie! My husband is a doc on the team as well. Just saw our team on Fox News caring for those sweet children today.
