1/28/10 UPDATE: The AFH team traveled to Carrefour where they met Pastor Ulrich (a man that we have worked with multiple times in the past). Pastor Ulrich’s house is about the only house still standing in his neighborhood looking like an island in the sea. They have been spending the nights in the Pastor’s house and have set up a temporary clinic next door in the courtyard of a church house.
Most of the church building is too damaged to be safe to use so only the supplies are inside the building. Many of the patients that the team has been seeing have wounds from the earthquake that have not been treated and are now complicated by infection. This evening the team has an exciting opportunity to minister in a different way. The plan is for local people to gather together for a meeting where the team will have the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them. We are continuing to evaluate the needs that we are aware of and try to work where we are needed the most. As more healthcare becomes available in the areas around Port-Au-Prince it seems that the people in Carrefour are starting to have more access to hospitals and clinics. The plan is for the team to relocate tomorrow to Petit Goave (Ti Goave) where a Wesleyan Mission has asked for their help. There had been a medical team at this mission but they returned home today and the Wesleyan Mission states that they are still in great need of healthcare providers. Please pray for the team and for AFH that we would have the wisdom and understanding that we need to proceed with plans that would be effective in helping the people of Haiti and that the love of Jesus would be demonstrated through our lives.
