Haiti, 1st Response

Passerby, crushed by a falling hospital wall

Digging the misfortunate out of the rubble

buried alive

Gary Klein, ready to treat patients

A young lady being treated for severe head injury she suffered during a quake

Many were trapped under the rubble

Shelter is scarce. Most are entirely without any cover whatsoever

The streets are lined with destruction

Rebuilding will take years

Multi-level buildings are now reduced to a heap of broken concrete & dreams

After spending 5 days taking emergency medical relief to some of the areas in Haiti most devastated by last week's earthquake. Mission director Gary Klein & I (David) went to Carrefour, Port-Au-Prince, and Jacmel, where we went to provide emergency care and critically needed medical supplies in four different hospitals and two of the many tent-city relocation camps that have been set up for the many who were displaced from their homes by this tragedy.

In these efforts, we had the privilege of working in co-operation with Haitian contacts Caleb & Hemson who have studied at IBVT, the Bible training school in Mucha Agua, as well as Dr. Kissinger, a christian neighbor of Caleb's and a practicing doctor in Port-Au-Prince.

With God's protection and expedience, your prayers, and armed with medicines that many of you have helped gather for us,we were able to treat hundreds of seriously injured quake victims, many of which would not have survived the trauma of this disaster, had it not been for a timely arrival of these supplies, medicines and urgent care.

The recovery from this catastrophic event will be a long road and require a lot of outside assistance to make possible. We currently find ourselves with a great opportunity to minister to many in need, and to use this as an open door to share the Good News with people who are now more hungry for it then ever. Please pray as you continue to partner with us for the furthering of Christ's kingdom here on the island of Hispanola.

We will be returning soon possibly as soon as Saturday) with tents, tarps, and materials to build outhouses... a measure that will be necessary to avert a serious sanitation and health crisis in the next couple of weeks. This is an urgent concern and needs immediate attention, as most buildings are damaged and people are living in large tent-city relocation camps, most without a single bathroom or outhouse available.
