We just received the following word from the Shauls, our missionaries in the area of the crisis:   Hey there. I just wanted to let everyone know that Miguel and Ronnie have arrived safely back to the Domincan Republic. They had an intense day in Haiti, making it all the way to Port Au Prince. They were able to see first hand what many of you have been watching on the news, and while it was a heart wrenching day for them, they made some solid contacts and now have specific people and places to help.   They will be back in San Juan tomorrow and I am sure will have much to share. Thanks...

Medical supplies and personel continue to be a huge need all throughout Haiti and now in the Dominican...

  Miguel Santiago, Adventures missionary on the ground on the Island of Hispaniola, caught up with Chris Fabry of Moody Radio – right before he crossed the border into Haiti.  Miguel has already made connections in Haiti and helped a woman give birth, right in the aftermath of the Quake.  Highlights from the interview here: Chris Fabry of Moody Radio interviewed our Adventures Dominican missionary, Miguel Santiago minutes before he crossed into Haiti. He and one other missionary piled on two, 100 pound Alpine packs full of food and supplies and crossed over. As the dust...

I just got word from Miguel and Ronnie who are in the Dominican town of Jimani which is a border town with Haiti. They had a busy afternoon buying food and distributing to local pastors who are helping with relief efforts.    The report is that in many Haitians have been crossing the border seeking safety and medical attention. An American surgical team that had been working in San Juan, traveled to Jimani last night and have operated on five today. The hospital is full, with patients lying on the floors. Supplies are low. Another team of American doctors who had been working here...
