Haiti Team

What a great report we got from the Haiti team! There is more to come. If you missed the report yesterday... the audio will be posted tomorrow. Check back.

Specific Prayer Requests for Children in Haiti

A couple of patients we've seen need prayer.

1. A 4 month old is malnourished and the mother cannot provide breast
milk. We provided one container of formula, but the family has no
money to provide for herself and the baby. She is a single mother
with a couple of other kids. We plan to take a collection up for her
this week, which will provide a short term solution, but don't know what will happen after that.

2. A young boy came to the clinic with both acute malaria and type 1 diabetes. Charles drove the family with one of our doctors to the hospital in Port au Prince to treat the malaria. But there is no way this child will get the regular insulin shots in Messailler he needs to live.

Latest from Haiti

Mo Omli sends this report after speaking with husband Steve.........The team is doing well and accomplishing a lot.

They are based in Messailler (of course) but spent the today in nearby town called Fouvou where Pastor Charles also has a church. For the next two days they will travel about 1.5 hours away (each direction) to St. Marc where Charles also has a church.

The team “dorms” are very crowded with all of the NC/FL folks plus a Canadian team that arrived this weekend. Everyone is getting along well and finding their niche among the many tasks and ways to serve.

Specific prayer requests are (1) for Lia, one of the pediatricians, who became ill with a stomach virus last night. By mid day Wednesday, she was able to begin seeing patients again. Pray for the health of the team!!! (2) Also pray for safety on the roads traveling town-to-town. There are no “traffic laws” to speak of and roads are full of pot-holes, so safety is very important. (3) Pray for continued unity and cooperation among all team members serving this week. (4) The local Haitians lack rain and the town water is low (not an issue for the team)…so on the one hand there is a need for rain, but the lack of humidity is helping control the mosquitoes. It’s odd because there are often flooding issues in Haiti. (Pick your blessing on that one!)

Pastor Charles is specifically thrilled that the school children sponsorship project is being addressed. He almost can’t believe this answer to prayer. Apparently, he is 4 months behind in paying teachers due to the lack of money coming in from child sponsorship. Hopefully the work being done this week to organize and update that program will go a long way to remedy the inconsistencies and lack of information in this area.

Haiti Team DOing Great

We have heard by email and phone that the Team is getting much work done and enjoying the Haitian people. More to come. Keep praying for their joy & fruitfulness there.

Pray for the Haiti Team (PFHT)

Our most recent word from Haiti was yesterday (monday march 10) afternoon at 4:30.

They had a great first day of working on the construction team, although the 90 degree heat took some adjusting! The medical team had nonstop lines of people at the clinic, including the dentist.

Haiti Update... yet not TOO up-to-date

Our most recent word from the Haiti trip is that the North Carolina members of the team (that were unable to fly out of miami on saturday with our Gainesville folks) boarded the plane--as hoped--on Sunday morning.

We will get you up-to-date stuff as soon as we have it.

Haiti Haiti Haiti 9am sunday

come to the media center to experience a multi-media presentation as steve and mo omli and kevin phegley report on their recent trip to help the Church in Haiti

Jan 3:16 (Haitian Creole Version)
Paske, Bondye sitèlman renmen lèzòm li bay sèl Pitit li a pou yo. Tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap pedi lavi yo. Okontrè y'a gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

Pray for Mo

Please pray for Morrow Omli. She caught the
dengue fever while in Haiti. After going to ER last night, she is now resting at home. Pray for strength, healing, and joy.

A story from Haiti trip taken by our folks

This young girl came to the medical clinic with 104 degree fever. We immediately gave her IV fluids suspecting she had meningitis. We prayed for her healing.
At our request, she returned for 2 more days to receive additional IV fluids. She always wore a beautiful dress. Her temperature returned to normal after the third day, and she left clinic with a candy bracelet and a smile on her face.

(more stories to come... kevin phegley, and mo & steve omli travelled to haiti this month on a medical/construction trip)
