Haiti Update: Team One Delivers Medical Supplies

We just received this update from team one.  Team one is in Jimani (border town DR/Haiti). All are safe and healthy.  This morning they arrived in Jimani not knowing what to expect.

Seth Barnes wrote a blog about how God feels about Haiti, something that was revealed to him earlier this week:   God weeps for his children. He sees the horror they’re experiencing in Haiti and he feels a grief that human words cannot describe. He sees the woman holding her crushed child and he feels the sorrow coursing through her being. He wants to hold her in the same way.   The sovereignty of God is a mystery that seems at odds with a tragedy of this scale.

Haiti Update: Miguel Santiago Back from Haiti

Miguel returned from Haiti and has been swamped with the mapping out the next week.  Here are a couple of updates on what’s been going on.  You can read the full story here.
