Haiti Rescue Update (1/26/2010 4:46 pm CST)

Via Trace Thurlby, Live from Haiti;

We are heading back from Port Au Prince. The highlight of the day was that we found Johnny’s mom. That was no small task in PAP, especially now. We took a picture of Johnny, who we learned today was separated from his mom at the time of the quake. We wont’ forget the joy on his mom’s face when she realized that her son was alive and well. Johnny will stay with us two more days as his feet recover. On Thursday, we’ll take him home to be with and hug on his mom. Tonight, we look forward to showing Johnny the picture of his loving mom.

Beth and I have a meeting tomorrow with the Haitian head of child protection services. The situation is fluid and the rules change on a dime. No worries! We are all in! God gives us the strength to run whatever route is in front of us.

Carrie “Flow” Davidson, RN, worked the nightshift at the General Hospital downtown. While many colleagues clocked out at 5 pm, “Flow” covered four peds tents (two critical care) as the lone nurse….she’s all in!

God has given us a great opportunity to be His Hands and Feet. What a privilege to help reunite Mother and son, to help James get surgery, to care for the wounded, to welcome and love the orphaned and abandoned! We can’t do this without you. This is your work, your ministry! We love you! Press on!

  1. your updates are so appreciated! my prayers are continually flowing toward heaven on behalf of these children and the work you are doing. may the Lord be glorified in all of it!

    i loved seeing you refer to carrie as "flow" in this post... :) that is how we know her BEST. i'm am so thrilled that she can be such a huge part of God's work in PAP. my heart wanted to drop everything and come, but that would not be as helpful as the prayers that i can offer!

    thank you for keeping the faith, thank you for staying positive in such a dark time... you all are most definately fueled by God's love! thank you, thank you!
