Hurricane Update
Greetings All!!
Hurricane Gustov decided to visit
Haiti this week and left a path of destruction in its wake.
The bulk of the damage and the fatalities occurred from Port au Prince
to the south. The area to the north, inclusive of St Ard, endured
torrential rains and wind but as of last night (Tuesday) no structural
damage was evident to any of the compound or the surrounding area.
The fear of mudslides still looms but the majority of the storm itself
has passed
Hispaniola. Our hospital is closed for the remainder of the
week in St Ard as the rain and mud has made many roads impassable for
our employees. We will hopefully re-open on Monday.
Please pray for our Haitian families as this storm will further
diminish the already expensive food supply. Pray for the families who
lost loved ones and for those still in the path of soon to be
Hurricane Gustov. As always, we are very thankful for all of your
prayers and support.
It is a pleasure to work together for Him who holds Haiti and all of
us in His loving hand.

Trip for
October
The fall work-camp is now preparing for the trip to Haiti. The
dates are set for October 11-18, 2008. Plans are
underway for the team, which will include Anderson area work-campers
from Madison Park Church of God, Florida Station Church of God,
and Sherman Street Church of God. These groups will be joined
with others from Tennessee and Kentucky for a week of medical ministry
throughout Haiti.
Donations of Over The Counter medications, vitamins, and hygiene items
are being collecting for use in the clinics. There is also an
ongoing need for prescription medication (obtained by medical
professionals). Please keep this team in your prayers as they
prepare for a great experience of serving in Haiti.
Thanks for visiting our website! If you have
any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Send an
email to our
webmaster.

Plans are being
made for the next "phase" of the
hospital in Sainthard. The second floor blueprints have been
drafted and will include housing for hospital staff as well as a
prosthetics lab. Members of Sawgrass Community Church have
offered their expertise in setting up this one-of-a-kind lab at the
hospital in Sainthard, to develop artifical limbs for the disabled.
The dental clinic continues services at the hospital on contract with
Haitian dentist Dr. Wilgar Blanc. An obstetrician has also
joined the staff, providing services two days a week. As the
services expand to meet a growing need in the Arcahaie region of
Haiti, your diligent prayers are needed. If you would be willing
to support this ongoing work by a monthly committment, please see the
