Jane and a team of doctors and nurses along with translators left for Port-Au-Prince 5:30 AM on Sunday. We got word that they arrived safely at 1:00 PM making the trip in good time. They have established a mobile clinic on top of the mountain above Carrefour overlooking Port-Au-Prince bay. They are using a vacant missionary guest facility.
Jane called last night at 4:30 and said that after getting set up they saw 257 patients and 20 made decisions for Christ. This morning Jane called at 7:30 and was asking for an evangelistic team and bibles.
We already were planning to send the dump truck to them with needed medical supplies along with a driver, cook, & 5 seminary students, bibles, rice, beans, flower, bicycle, charcoal, water and pots & pans. We had to use some old doors as "side boards" in order to get everything shoehorned into this truck. Every time we thought that it was full, someone would bring a few more boxes to put on. It finally left about 11:15 AM. I've lost track of the truckloads but we are averaging one every other day.
There have been many people moving North to Cap-Haitian. OMS has been partnering with the local churches supplying them with food to help feed these displaced people.
Each day is spent getting shipments ready for both "Port" and "Cap" and making sure that the trucks are ready to return.
Through this devastation churches are packed, many testimonies of God doing miracles and lives being changed. We thank-you for your many prayers and e-mails of encouragement.
We believe that God has placed us here for this exact time.
Blessings,
Bud

Bud, thank you so much for sharing! Isn't God wonderful...He knows what we need before we ask. I was excited to hear that what Jane asked for was on already on the way!
