Haiti

Family and Friends, (Please make sure you see the video and pictures!)

The time our team spent in Haiti was nothing short of remarkable! The Haitians hunger and dependence on God during such dire circumstances was truly inspiring and humbling. It was a life-changing gift to serve these beautiful people and I want to say thank you for all your support and prayers for our team, myself and my family. With your faithful partnership we accomplished more than we thought was possible; providing for them the basic needs of food, water and medical care making a difference in the quality of their lives. All along God multiplied our energy and we knew that His hand never left us while we supported His hurting people. Thank you for this opportunity!

ALL HAITI PICTURES

Day 1- Flew from Dallas-Miami-Dominican Republic. Spent the night.
Day 2- Woke up at 4:30am and headed 6 hours into Port au Prince, Haiti.
Set up camp and sleeping tents. Went to the local church and found where all the medical supplies were located and met the team that was leaving and they gave us an overview.
Day 3- Picked up medical supplies and went to a tent city and set up a medical clinic/clean water. Worked triage all day, seeing about 200 patients. That night we went with a military convoy to pick up more supplies.
Day 4- Stopped on a local street and set up a medical clinic/clean water. Worked triage sending about 150 patients into see our nurses for care and medicine.
Day 5- Went to the river village and set up a medical clinic/clean water. Worked triage with every patient, seeing about 150ish again.
Day 6- Went to a school compound and set up a medical clinic/clean water. Half the team went to an orphanage to deliver food. The other half worked seeing patients, about 100 people.
Day 7- Drove to the Dominican, had lunch on the beach. Spent the night.
Day 8- Flew home.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Church on Sunday with the Haitians because you could really see dependence on God during these circumstances.
Military convoy at night, we were able to direct them through the city and got to be a "solider" if only for a few minutes.
Sleeping at the UN compound and seeing all kinds of people from all over the world in one location.
Riding everywhere on top of a car, even through the river.
Amazing team, everyone fit well and worked together with ease.
Giving medical care/clean water to those truly in need.
Through the generosity of my supporters we are able to send another person on the next Haiti team!
