Please join me in praying for medical team #3 as they finish up their work in Haiti today. Yes, this is their last day to:
- see patients,
- find creative ways to diagnose problems,
- worry about whether the diesel will run out,
- struggle with the English-Creole language barrier,
- work impossibly long hours without breaks,
- sweat under the tarp that provides shade, but stifles the little bit of airflow that's there,
- cry - when they lose one.
It is also their last day to:
- play peek-a-boo with the kids,
- offer help to the Haitian volunteers (who work for food),
- deliver new life into the world despite incredible odds,
- offer a hug of reassurance,
- pray on the spot for their patients,
- encourage a family,
- share God's love as they give all they've got to help.
Pray for them as they come home. For safe travel. For no delays. And for peace in their hearts, minds and souls. They have been where few of us will ever go. We won't understand. But God does.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Matt. 5:7

Karen, thanks so much for posting these updates. We have been lifting Rob and their entire team up in prayer.
Karen, we are praying. Thank you for keeping us updated. Pastor Matt & Martha had posted it on FB, so we were all aware.
praying for Rob and the team - safe travel and all that the team will bring home with them. Praying for peace, comfort and the ability to process it all through the eyes of Jesus. Thank you Karen so much for sharing with us!!!
Karen, Jim and I have been praying for Rob and the others. Pray that he has a safe trip home and that he can deal with all he has seen. I don't know if I could or not but have been crying, praying and thinking of all those people, especially the children since the beginning. God has blessed those serving and will continue to do so. We love you and your family.
Carol & Jim C.
