Our prayers that the Lord would lead them were answered in a special way today as they left Roberta's home. They were driving through the city and "happened" to see a surgeon and director of an NGO that they had met in the DR. They stopped to talk with him and he told them there was a hospital that was in serious need of help and how to get there. They went directly there and hundreds of people were waiting, needing medical attention and very few medical personal. Our team was put to work immediately and worked there all day. They treated wounds and saw many people with crushed and broken bones and did whatever they could to help. They eventually had to leave to insure they were back to MOH before dark. Thank God for sending them where they were needed and that they were allowed to be his hands today!
On a personal level, we received another encouraging report today. One of Hope's brothers, Thony, is currently in the US and had been unable to hear from their other siblings in Haiti. We knew 2 brothers were safe but he heard from the others today. Praise God!
It is encouraging to know that people all over the world are uniting in prayer for the people of Haiti.
These verses came to mind today as a prayer for those affected by this tragedy. We serve an amazing God:
"He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. . . . to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion-to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."
Isaiah 61:1-3
