Update on Cholera Crisis in Haiti

Dear friends and family,

We want to thank you all so much for the generosity you have shown to the people of Haiti during the cholera crisis. Your donations allowed us to immediately send medicines, supplies and personnel to assist. I will be traveling to Haiti in the coming week to assist in a clinic and deliver more supplies to help meet the continuing needs. Again, thank you for joining with us in this effort. If you have not already contributed and would like to, please visitwww.globalhealthinnovations.org for more information.

Best,

Cholera in Haiti, Update

Dear friends,

We want to thank you all for your quick response in helping us get assistance to Haiti for the cholera crisis. MGM and GHI are collaborating with several people and organizations to get aid there immediately. Randy Uthe, a registered nurse with Global Samaritan Resources, arrives in Cap Haitian this morning to work in the hardest hit clinics in Limbe and Cap. He is planning on being there until next Saturday. Thanks to Dr. Jim Morrison, he will be carrying enough medications to treat 650 adults and 500 children, along with IV supplies and serum from Medline.

We will continue to assist in organizing medicines and supplies to assist and support those currently working in Haiti. If you would like to assist with these efforts, go to our website at www.globalhealthinnovations.org to donate. Again, thank you for your prayers and continued support during this time to help the Haitian people. It is amazing seeing the many people and organizations come together in the name of the Lord to help!
God bless,

Cholera in Haiti

Dear friends,
We wanted to update you on the current cholera situation in Haiti, specifically in the North near where we work. Unfortunately, we have gotten word today from our friends on the ground there that it has gotten much worse even in the past two days. Limbe had 25 cases yesterday and reported 60 cases already this morning and are in desperate need of supplies and medicines. Limbe is located just 30-45 minutes from Lagosette, just east of Cap Haitien. After much discussion and prayer, we have decided that the time has come to begin mobilizing assistance to help. We are currently communicating with our partners here in the US and people on the ground in Haiti on how to best help with this crisis. Global Health Innovations (GHI) is the sister medical organization of MGM and all funds and supplies will go through GHI in directing assistance. We ask for your prayers during this time and also ask you to go to the GHI website (www.globalhealthinnovations.org) to donate and help us to bring comfort and healing to those affected by cholera in Haiti.
God bless,
Brad Gautney

Marathon Update

Paul Morphy completed the NYC ING marathon Sunday......congratulations, Paul!! However, we are only 57% of the way to his goal of 100 people donating $1/mile. It's not too late, you can still donate using the Chip-In meter at the right or mail your support (earmarked "Lagosette") to:

MGM
P.O. Box 2993
Clarksville, IN 47131

We only need 41 people contributing $26.20 (that's $1/mile) to reach the goal!!
Thanks for helping the ministry of the Lagosette School continue, and thank you to Paul for encouraging us to get involved.

Preschool in Action!

Enjoy a glimpse into the preschool class in Lagosette.


The total including checks sent directly to MGM and donations via the Chip-In meter brings us over halfway to Paul's goal. All funds raised go directly to supporting the preschool in Lagosette, Haiti.

On a different note, as Tropical Storm Tomas approaches, please join us as we continue in prayer with and for our friends and neighbors in Haiti.

Clarification on Moxon's Haiti Mission

Dear friends,

I need to make a small clarification to the previous information that
I sent out about tax-deductible donations:

You should write your checks out to "Journey Christian Church" and
only put "Haiti Mission" on the bottom "for" line.

Mail the check to:

Journey Christian Church
Attention Bill Moxon
2332 West 27th St
Greeley, CO 80634



I apologize if this was unclear in my newsletter! I appreciate your
patience with us as we get things set up and organized.

In closing, please remember Haiti in your prayers tonight as Tropical
Storm
Tomas bears down on the island. I am praying that the storm
turns away and many Haitians find their shelter in our Almighty
Father.



Yours in Christ,


Bill Moxon

Preschool!


The preschool children at the Lagosette school are blessed with wonderful teachers, Marie Lourdes and Jezula.

Jezula teaches the younger kids and is full of energy and loves to teach the kids using songs and actions. She is from a neighboring village on the way to Cap Haitian. She is married and has three young children of her own at home as well.



Marie Lourdes teaches the older preschool kids. Her class is
equivalent to an American kindergarten. She prepares them for first grade where they begin to learn to read. If you have been to the Manna camp in Lagosette you probably know Marie Lourdes as she has helped with the cooking for our groups for many years. She speaks some English and loves to practice with the visitors. She is also a wife and mother, her husband also teaches at the Lagosette school, and they have two young children.

We are so thankful for Marie Lourdes and Jezula and the work they do with the children. If you'd like to help support their work, please "Chip-In," by using the button on the right to sponsor Paul Morphy in the NYC marathon. All donations given for his race go directly to supporting the work of the Lagosette school and reaching his goal will provide salary for the preschool teachers for an entire year. The countdown to the marathon on Sunday, November 7th, has begun!
