Hello and thanks to all of our faithful followers:

We have a team of 9 people leaving this Sunday (have to be at the Atlanta airport at 5:30 a.m.!) for Port-au-Prince. It will be interesting to see the changes in the past few weeks-to see if there has been any clean-up and rebuilding yet. We expect the medical will be much less acute, but still lots of needs. We will be doing medical work in the tent village near the mission house. We are also planning to start doing clean-up at one of the destroyed homes of a church member-we hope to help them rebuild their home. We will also be checking on Micaela, the 14-year old girl we met in a tent village, with a badly infected foot and leg. She subsequently had her leg amputated at the hospital which had been set up at the Port-au-Prince airport by the University of Miami. She did great post-operatively and we recently had more great news – the hospital will be getting prosthetics and Micaela will be one of the recipients! We had originally planned to try and get her to the U.S. to be fitted with a prosthesis and undergo rehabilitation. Currently, as far as we know, she is still at the hospital; we will be checking on her during this trip. You can read more about her story at the following site:
