From Sheri

(This is Sheri Marter, using Megan's computer)
It is Thursday am, clinc is open. So thankful to be able to communicate through Megan's email.
1st, Gail is so happy to tell you that the crippled girl, NILDRED, was here Tues., she got her x-rays, and today is at the Hatian doctor to get the medical documentation for her medical VISA. Gail is bubbling over with joy!

We are having an awsome experience this week. God is with us everyday. We are seeing more patients than we expected, Our team works so well together, very smooth flowing. We seem to know what the other needs without saying.

Wednesday, we spent a very rewarding couple of hours at Mother Theresa's. Brought smiles and healthy stimulation to many, gave affection they were hungry for. Michel and Junior are so protective and concerned for our every need.
They, then took us up into the mountain to the Baptist mission. Gail was really not looking forward to the toll the ride would take on her stomach.....we prayed alot for our safety and strength in her stomache. It worked, she had a great experience. Junior suggested seeing Fort Jaque, alittle further up the mountain.
A monutment to the Hatian independence, built to protect them from invasion by France. The drive took us up into more rural area, saw farming areas. What a beautiful view, could see the ocean harbor when the clouds cleared (for 3 minutes...)

We are not able to communicate much at all, but want you to know, our clinic is running smoothly, our residence is so nice, like being at the Hilton, we feel guilty it is so nice. The food is great, water is very aggreeable (especially to Gail's sensitive system). Our guards and interpreters are doing a wonderful job.

Keep praying for us, God is watching and listening!
Love, Sheri and our team!

From Cynthia

Poor internet...mostly down. Awesome team. God's constant protection. Spiritual warfare. Pray! Having an awesome time. Blog for us from Michels reports to Lynda.
Love from all. Cynthia

Monday, Day One

OK guys . . . this is report from Michel (our Haitian clinic manager):
Today went very well. The patients were very nice and the clinic had a very peaceful atmosphere. Cynthia saw some of the nannies and a security guard and they treated 51 patients today.
Michel and Amanda went to the Caribbean Market to get lunch supplies for the translators today.
Pray for a blessed, restful night for the team. Pray that the Haitians that are seen will see Jesus in the faces of these servants!

Nou La! (We're Here!)

Well, the team arrived safely on Saturday late afternoon. There was trouble getting the plane door open when they arrived, but they finally were able to get off the plane, get through the airport and to the anxiously waiting hugs from our Haitian staff. The team stopped off at Three Angels and then went to the Methodist Guesthouse to get settled in for the week. On Sunday the team worshiped Haitian-style at Quisqueya church, then to the orphanage to set up for the clinic. There is no internet at the guesthouse, so this information comes from an email from Cynthia (the leader) from Three Angels.
Today is day one of the clinic and so far "it is a blast!! This team is awesome."
Please continue to keep this group of 6 in your prayers. Pray for them by name: Cynthia Kreil, Amanda Byler, Gail McGee, Rob Kelch, Sheri Marter, and Judy Seelhoff.
I am told they are all doing fine!
I will post more as I hear more.
