Petionville, Haiti

At 5:00 this morning, Rob and his medical supplies arrived at RDU airport headed to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The group meets each other today. They will rest up before heading to Haiti tomorrow.

A big thanks to the C3 Church family for your prayers as Rob travels and providing dressings and tape so desperately needed for wound care. Thanks also to Horizon Family Medicine for providing other medical supplies, making a ton of calls to reschedule Rob's patients, and your prayers. Special thanks to Mark Nelson for the travel bags. They hold a lot of stuff!


The big green bag is filled with dressings and tape

Monday, the team will head to Haiti. It's our understanding, that they are staying at a mission and driving into the hospital each day.


Somewhere in this small town on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince is the 25 bed hospital where the team will work. They anticipate treating about 250 patients a day in the hospital and in tents nearby.

Praying today for safe travel for the team as the members make their way from Texas, Montana, Charlotte and Raleigh, NC to the Dominican Republic.

From Darrin Adams, a team member:
The hatch is closed on the 767. We are bound for Santo Domingo. Time to work for Jesus.

This is so awesome, reading the names of those called to the "battle zone." I'm honored to pray, but right now I wish I were a doctor and could go, too. Blessings and protection for Rob and the team!
