Answered Prayers

I have been working at Milot hospital the passed few days. Julie and I went with a group of nurses who are here for 2 weeks. I hadn't been out there for a couple weeks and was very surprised to find that since then, they had gotten a very nice portable xray machine. This has been a huge blessing for the doctors and nurses who need to get an xray quickly, since the machine can be moved to anywhere in the hospital and used as long as there is an outlet. I found out that the xray tech who has been there since last Saturday is the only one there and before her there hadn't been one since they got the new machine. She is leaving on Saturday and there is not another tech scheduled to come in after her. So this is a great opportunity for me to go down there and run the machine, as well as the C-arm in surgeries. Julie and I are going to be driving out there 3 times a week, and then working at the clinic here in Cap Haitian the other days. We are both so excited that we are being able to specifically use the gifts God has given us to help these earthquake victims.What a huge answer to prayer! God has gone before us and opened up many doors so that we can be used effectively in administering care both physically and spiritually. There is such a huge mission field there, as the majority of the short-term teams from the states that are coming through there are not Christians. It is crazy to think that God 's perfect plan has led me to this hospital in Milot Haiti, to share the love of Jesus with Americans! Please be praying for Julie and I, that we would be bold in reflecting Christ in all situations with our words, actions, and attitudes. Also that we would be a comfort and witness to the patients we see as well.

We had a 4 hour prayer meeting this morning involving all of the people who work in various OMS ministries, both Haitian and non. It was a wonderful(and hot) time of worship, praise, thanksgiving, and supplication. We heard of Junior down in Diquini and of his hard work and perserverance in carrying out the Lord's will. He has been living by faith, depending on the Lord for all things. He is living in a tent, relying on the Lord to provide his daily bread, and working himself to exhaustion. Please pray for renewed strength and energy for this young man. Pray that God would fill Junior with peace and joy overflowing, that word of the Lord would continue to abide in him and pour out into the lives of others. Thanky you.

Here are a few pictures of the hospital in Milot, and our crazy truck ride home :)

The ride home. Those are mattresses we are sitting on. It was actually one of the most enjoyable drives I've had yet!
