Phone Update from Haiti Team

Due to primitive conditions, the team is currently unable to blog from Haiti. Below are clips from some phone conversations we have received today.
-------------------------
David Acres called in and said the team was doing great. There is a lot of physical labor involved. (He sounded tired, but he said he was doing well.) The team is staying in a tent on army cots. Only physically fit people need to volunteer for future trips. He said they were getting enough food and plenty of water; everyone is taking their medicines.

Jack called after finally getting the satellite phone hooked up. He said they are sleeping on cots in 3-man tents (he, Jim and Ken are sharing a tent) just outside the main medical supply tent. They do have access to showers (no hot water) and port-a-potties, but no laundry facilities. Their main priority right now is to help organize the supply tent. He said the supplies are in huge piles inside and outside the tent, and the doctors and nurses are constantly needing help finding things. It hasn't rained since they got there so that is a blessing. He will try to get the computer hooked up tonight or tomorrow so he can send emails and pictures.
---------------------------
Continue to keep these men in your prayers- please pray for their health and safety. Hopefully they will be able to get an Internet connection and will be able to actually blog from Haiti.
