[ACCESS News] Update from Mary - Haiti

[Mary Lowe]

Just a quick word to let you know that all is well and we're back in the
U.S. again. Steve and I led a team of medical and dental missionaries to
Haiti on January 8 and were expecting to come home on the 15th. Everything
changed on Jan. 12 when a 7.0 earthquake hit the tiny and very desperately
poor island nation of Haiti. We were finally able to get out on several
small planes, Sunday, Jan. 17 and arrived in South Carolina late that
evening. We were greeted by our church and community family. It's a
testimony to the power of prayer and the grace that God shows each and every
day, despite difficulties that we encounter. The mission team that Steve and
I led was not hurt. We felt the earthquake tremors where we were, about 130
miles east of Port-au-Prince, but there was no immediate danger. We were
able to go to the clinic on the mission station to help with earthquake
survivors who had left Port and made their way to other facilities. There
were probably 500 folks who came through the clinic during the time we were
there. It was difficult to treat everyone because supplies were limited and
needs great. 

 

I ask that you continue praying for Haiti, her people, and the work that is
continuing. Missionaries are still there working with churches and relief
organizations. There is much work to be done. Donations are needed, medical
and relief personnel are sought after, and many needs continue to surface. 

 

Thank you again for your prayers.

 

Mary
