Team 5 Haiti Update

Greetings from Haiti!

Today is Thursday morning and it is already HOT, but God is good and He takes care of us. Donna, Eddie, and myself are keeping busy here in the Medical Warehouse. We also have two other people that came in to help us - Mark and Chris, who just needed a change from what they were doing, what a help they are.

Donna gets to go out into Haiti today to visit a orphanage where around 70 children are staying, she loves children and I think this will be a real blessing to her. Darrell and Rhett left Wednesday morning, they were the last of team #4. One of the many blessings about being here in Haiti is meeting new Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

On Wednesday morning Katie Couric came and visited our camp. One of the many things she did was interview a young girl (about 4 or 5) who had lost her left leg below the knee and had a deformed right foot. The little girl was using a walker that Rhett, who was on team #4, made which had a special seat in the walker. This was helpful because when she got tired of walking, she could put the seat down and have a place to set. She was using this when Katie Couric interview her, so if you see the news just know that the chair she is sitting in was made by one of our Disaster Relief people. (Editor's note: We do not believe this segment has been aired yet, as soon as we find out, we will let you know when it will air and/or will post a link to it on this blog)

We also had a 13 year old boy pass away Wednesday afternoon and the Mother was on the outside of the fence yelling and crying over the death of her son. Please be in prayer for this family and all the people of Haiti.

The Chaplains (not sure where they are from) also had four people come to Christ this week, what a blessing. Keep Team #5 in your prayers, we need them.
