Saturday update

Today has been a great day of sharing with others and helping those in need get to the hospital here to receive care.

Kyrk took 2 surgeons to the Israeli hospital to help with surgeries there. One was a plastic surgeon who did a lot of skin grafts for patients and the other a general surgeon. They were both greatly appreciated and will be returning tomorrow to help again. Praise God that they are able to help others who are in need.

We were also able to successfully transport 8 patients from General Hospital up to our hospital. We put mats in the back of our canter truck and transported 4 at a time. It was the most comfortable ride we could offer. We had a doctor and nurse in the truck with them and they all arrived safely to the hospital.
We also received a request to transport 5 patients from another hospital. We praise God that He is bringing these needs to our attention and that we are able to assist others in need.

Update on Katiana:
She is still doing okay. Her condition has not worsened and we continue to pray that God would continue to heal her.

During the past days we have been doing our best to distribute water purification tablets and buckets to provide clean drinking water to people. We have also given out blankets, tarps and solar flashlights with the help of Samaritan's Purse. Praise God that aid is slowly getting to the people and people's needs are being met.

There is so much more to do and we continue to pray for wisdom to know how to most effectively and efficiently meet those needs.

Thanks for your continuing prayers. God is so Good and we are so grateful for what He is doing.
