Haiti Rescue Update (1/23/2010 8:54 am CST)

Via Trace Thurlby, Live from Haiti;

Joe Knittig and Adrien Lewis left this morning for the DR. Both gave their all as servants of the King and now look forward to seeing their families who have been amazing in their support of what God is doing here. Please pray for their swift and safe return.

This morning Franzie (11 year old girl) was reunited with her Dad. We loved seeing them together! He was grateful for the care she received here, and we are grateful that God used us as a safe place for Franzie during a scary time in her life. The word is getting out that we are here, and we hope for more of these family reunions as a result. We recognize each one as a blessing and a small miracle.

This morning a one-year-old boy was brought to us with burns. 80 percent of his body was raw as a result of a post-quake accident in the home caused by a kerosene lamp the family was using, because they were without elecrtricity. Our on-site nurse examined him and was able to quickly move him to the nearest hospital. Please continue to pray for God’s healing Hand to move in Haiti. We see the pain and suffering here, but we see it through the lens of Jesus Christ, who loves us, who gave Himself for us, and who commands us to love one another. I hear our children here singing His praises in the background during their morning devotional time. A beautiful sound! Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow!

  1. Just found out about you from an article in the Lincoln Journal. Wanted to let you know how much I admire all of the volunteers there and that I will be praying, praying, praying for you and the children there. Thank you so much for everything you are doing. God bless and keep you all! Cindy (from Plano Texas)
