I wanted to share with you a couple of answers to prayers, and thank those of you who have been praying for me and the people of Haiti these past few months.
The special week at the clinic went really great. We saw over 200 patients a day and despite being exhausted at the end of the week, everyone worked really well together and was satisfied with how everything went. The medical team from the states that was here helping us brought 2 pastors with them, and they along with our 2 Haitian pastors on staff at the clinic, led 17 people to Christ...exciting! Currently Dr. Rodney is working to create a budget for the clinic that will allow Bethesda to permanently lower their prices and continue to offer the same affordable health care to all of their patients.
The never ending job of pill counting...woohoo!
I have an update on Tania the 23 year old girl in Milot who has breast cancer. We have been praying that she would be accepted to a hospital somewhere in the states for chemotherapy treatment and we just found out on Monday that a center in Baltimore that specializes in breast cancer patients has accepted her for treatment. There were many details that needed to be organized such as flights, someone to travel with her, living expenses while she is there, and of course all of the paperwork needed for her to be allowed into the country. They are estimating that she will need to be there for a year to complete the needed treatment. The hospital has found an apartment for her and her mom that is on the same campus as the hospital which will eliminate the need for transportation back and forth. The cost for them to live there with all of their meals included is $100 per day. There are a few people here who are looking to different organizations and businesses to try and find the funds to support her during the year, but the need is still great. Also, we are waiting for her and here mom to get their visas approved before they can go. They are scheduled to leave for the states on the 23rd of this month. Please pray that their visa applications would go through and that we would be able to find enough support to fully fund the trip before they leave. If you feel you would like to help Tania financially, you can let me know via email and we can make arrangements for that to happen. My address is hannahp333@yahoo.com.
It is amazing to see how God has been working in this situation and preparing the way for her to receive the help that she needs. I am confident that He will see it through to completion if we continue to trust in Him to provide for everything. I am so encouraged by Tania's attitude and steadfast faith in God despite her circumstances. Please continue to pray for her physical, emotional, and spiritual well being throughout this journey.
One last bit of news...I will be going back to Diquini Port-au-Prince tomorrow morning and coming back Sunday. There is team of missionaries and seminary students going to encourage the church there, lead church services, and do some evangelism in the surrounding areas. We would all appreciate your prayers for this opportunity we've been given to show the love of Christ to these people.
