Guess What...Haiti still needs prayer!

It has been driving me nuts lately that people are already forgetting that Haiti still needs prayer. It seems already we are forgetting about the people in Haiti. NO! THEY STILL NEED PRAYER AND SUPPLIES!! Yes, they are stable (for right now) but we don't know for how much longer. Yes, God is supplying and blessings have been pouring down, but if we stop praying and crying out to God because it just seems like the news isn't talking about it much anymore or because it isn't "recent news" that is just stupid and who knows what God will allow if we don't cry out and ask for him to supply and what not!! We will continue to praise God for how faithful he is and for what he has been doing, but we also need to keep praying for Haiti!

On that note, here is an update on what is going on down in Leogane.

Tim and the team are doing well. I talked to Tim tonight for the first time on the phone :) (calls until the end of Jan. are free!!!)
Here is what he talked about and asked for prayer for. The first and biggest thing would be wisdom and discernment for everyone as they attend to the injured. There are still so many server injuries it gets hard. Also, there have been some HUGE "Why God?" moments and they all need prayer to work through those. Tim says Lisa is doing well. God is really helping her and strengthing her. Jasmine and Greg and the kids are doing better than a week ago. Tim says though that we need to pray for sleep at night for them as it is super loud with people, transporation and animals. Sleep is rough and it gets pretty cold as well. The tents have been helping with the cold, but they are still having trouble sleeping. The markets he said are open, but those who are poor and injured have no money to actually buy food so it is rough. Tim also mentioned that with so many different types of doctors, surgens and nurses with different personalities working together it gets hard when attending to the injured, so please pray for patience and against frustration, may there be unity and encouragment.

Update on collecting supplies for OLTCH and the nursing school:
I made an announcment on Wednesday the 20th in chapel for the Crown Community to step up to the cries of the Haitians and donate a bottle of medicine or give money to them to help send supplies and support them. Well, God provided! He is so good! We collected over 25,000 piles of all different kinds, 75 tubs of ointment, 61 bottles of infant and children medicine, tons of band-aids, gauze and what not, plus extra things with everything from coloring books to blankets to scrubs for the nurses! There is just so much that I can't even explain it, but God really provided through the giving of college students!!!! We are going to get as much of it down with Dan as possible when he leaves and then rest will get down there somehow. They really do still need it. We also collected $407 for OLTCH for put towards buying some land and building a new orphanage...that is the goal!

Man, there is just so much information, but I think that is all for now. Please just keep praying and remind everyone else to keep praying as well.

Will update you all again soon :)

God is GOOD!
