This lady was going to have a C-section since her baby was breach. Just as the doctors were about to start the surgery, she started pushing and was able to deliver the baby naturally even though the baby was breach. Thankfully both mother and baby girl are doing well.

Jean, one of our lab technicians lost her house. She was very grateful for the gift of a mat to have something nice to sleep on now. Thank you so much to ladies from Ontario, Canada, who made these and brought them to Haiti.

Darline is from the Calebasse area, a mountain village further up the mountain from the mission. She lost her house during the earthquake leaving her family homeless. There were 10 people living in the house, her husband, 3 children and 5 other family members. Thankfully they are all okay, but they are now living outside on the street. They lost everything. She was so thankful for the blessing of 2 mats, clothes, shoes and hygiene items.

All of our doctors both, national and visiting, are very dedicated people. This doctor, Dr. Warren Cooper, willingly took his own blood to give to one of the patients in need.

This is one of our nurses. She was assigned to this patient after he came out of surgery. She was singing to him and comforting him as he recovered. This nurse is due to have her baby next week. She plans to work each day until she delivers. Pray that God would give her the strength to keep serving and that she would have a safe and uncomplicated birth of her child soon.

Florence and Darline are mother and daughter. They were both in their house when it fell. The mother had a broken femur and she is very grateful that she could come to this hospital and have surgery to repair her bone. Yesterday they left the hospital. They were very thankful for the mat they were given, so they have something to sleep on now. They are planning on staying with friends who live in the local area so that they can come back to the hospital for follow up visits.

Florence receiving help to get into the tap-tap that would take them to the house they were going to stay at.


This little girl's name is Aldine. She was brought here from an orphanage. We are unsure how old she is, but we guessing she is between 3 and 5. The doctors think she may have down's syndrome or other major problems. We are praising the Lord that yesterday morning she finally sat up and ate. Pray that God would give the doctors wisdom to know how to help Aldine. Pray also that she would continue to eat and respond to the medical staff.

Well, that picture of Aldine just got to me! I just spent some time praying for her. I'm praying that someone is there to comfort her through the night tonight and that Jesus will meet the needs of her spirit, soul and body! Please keep us posted about her if you can. I know you guys have so much to do and so much going on. You're just amazing!!!! But I totally believe that God is using your blog and these pictures to keep people praying!
Thank you for putting names with the faces. It makes it so much more personal & real for us who are here in the U.S. praying for Haiti. How is the Baker family? Your daughters' foot? All the love of Christ
