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 1/18

The teams are prepared for promising ministry today as the Lord has opened some amazing doors!

One team will in fact be making their way by boat to the large city along the Southern coast.  The Lord opened an amazing door as when they returned to the port this morning, they met someone that was already planning to make a trip to that very city himself!  This team will be looking to make more contacts in the city and bring many necessary supplies.

The other team has connected with a missionary already serving in Haiti that is not only teaching us much about the country, but we are also teaming up with him to rescue orphans in Port-au-Prince and bring them to an orphanage outside of the affected area.

Please continue to pray for our team’s safety and open doors.  Both teams are following the Lord’s leading through significant danger as one group is braving the ocean and the other is needing an armed caravan to reach their destination.

Please also pray their safe passage not only to their destinations, but their return as well.  By all accounts, traveling after dark in Haiti is incredibly treacherous so our teams must reach basecamp by sundown.
