Haiti Update Monday Jan 18th

Continue to pray for our Haiti team of 12.

The Lord has opened up some wonderful doors where none existed.

They are nightly staying in DR for security and have hooked up with a missionary connected with Pastor from Miami area.

Yesterday they delivered much needed medical supplies to a makeshift medical clinic at an orphanage where a number of doctors and nurses were ministering to a line of people.

Today, the team has divided into two with eight going in with a missionary in Haiti who has armed support and knows the ins and outs of getting in and out of Port Au Prince.

This group of eight are accompanied by Jason from Calvary Calvary Chapel Magazine and a news reporter from Miami who jumped on with them. They are being led by the Miami area pastor and the missionary. They brought some much needed medical supplies to a makeshift clinic connected to an orphanage 30 miles from Port Au Prince.

They are now presently in Port Au Prince(we think) and hope to bring orphans from PAP into this secured orphanage run by Joyce Meyers which has the clinic staffed with doctors and nurses,

The other team of 4 was negotiating this am for a boat to take medical supplies into Jacmel where there is a great need. Their concern is it will take all day and they will have to spend the night with no confirmed water and place to sleep.  We have researched quite a number of possible places for a base of operations for future teams.

So pray they can make contact in Jacmel to confirm a base of operations — the best place so far seems to be the contact we have there 40 miles south of PAP.

Haiti Relief Effort - Update 1/17

The  team is back at base camp in the Domincan Republic and all are safe.  Today the team split into 3 different groups to maximize their ability to investigate opportunites for ministry.

One team headed to the border of Haiti and reached 30 miles from the capital.  It was a fruitful trip as they were able to not only get into Haiti, but also connect with another ministry already serving in the area and gather valuable information about the surrounding areas and the needs at present.

Another team made thier way to a fishing town in order to investigate the possibility of accessing a large city in Haiti by boat.  They were able to establish one possible lead but will be searching out the possiblilty of travelling there by aircraft as it may be more effecient and alot safer.

The last team stayed back at base camp and prepared the house they are staying at to better accomodate future missions teams and the storage of necessary supplies.

All of them are now gathered for prayer and worship to close their day of ministry.

Please continue to pray for their safety and open doors.
