Global Outreach continues to move medical supplies, food, tents, and medical teams into Haiti. Wednesday night, shortly after 10 PM, a medical team out of Mississippi and Kentucky returned as a medical team out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, went in.
David Vance, nurse-anesthetist of Tupelo, Mississippi, returned today after two weeks in Haiti. David shared that the extreme urgent care seems to be slightly diminishing; however, there remains a considerable need for follow up medical care to treat patients who had amputation of limbs, open wounds, treat infectious disease, and they continue to see large numbers of burn victims.
Volunteer teams continue to share, as we’ve seen on news outlets, that there is a tremendous job ahead to rebuild Haiti. Our Global Outreach Haiti missionaries have begun to see some shops opening, food shops, markets, and hardware.
Our newest missionaries to Haiti, Joe and Linda Sullivan, arrived in Haiti this week and immediately immersed themselves in the ministry. Our staff asked that we pray that they will be able to get donated goods through Haitian customs clearance without too much delay.
Message from Judy Heady The days continue to be long and busy on the "Oasis in the Desert" compound. Many of the ministries that are staging out of our compound are beginning to receive the equipment and supplies to minister to the needs of the people. I heard the other day that 300,000 rolls of plastic have been given out. Lots of food is being distributed. Yesterday David located a few warehouses that had food supplies for sale. He has also been able to take a filming crew out to film much of the devastation. The branch bank that we use is finally open and we are able to do our normal banking transactions. Haitian people are so resilient. They have the ability to pick up and go on with their lives . . . even with the little that they have. Please continue to pray for them. Pray for our staff on the ground in Haiti. They are growing weary with the heavy load they've carried for the last few weeks.
From the Brumley's . . . Hi Everyone, It's hard to know where to start with this update - so much has happened in the last week. We are so thankful for all your prayers and encouragement. It means so much to us. We are tired, and at times frustrated by so many logistical details, but we are encouraged by the progress we are making and, prayerfully, the difference we are making in our community here. The aftershocks have greatly diminished. We don't think we have felt one now in 3 days or so. That is a wonderful blessing!! Please pray that none return again - it strikes so much fear in everyone when they happen. We attended a church service a short ways from us this morning and it was standing room only. So many are coming to churches and people want to hear about hope and they are open to the gospel now more than ever. Our church in Ti Tanyen did their service outdoors again at 6 this morning and they said the whole area was full of people, many more than they could fit inside the church. The Lord is using their fear to return inside a building in His favor. We do pray that we can at some point soon start repairing these buildings, so the church and school facilities will be used again. We are still awaiting a structural engineer to check out all our buildings, so we know what work will need to be done both on our own compound and also our buildings off the compound. We are continuing with the medical care at the clinic and it is manageable now with cases usually done by 11 or 11:30 each day. There are 4 of us working in there every morning (Susan Bruns and Sheryl, one Haitian nurse, and Mme. Frank, our helper) and occasionally other doctors/allied health people join us as well. We are still treating the 5 men burned from the flour mill and they are all improving. We are starting to treat skin infections, eye irritations, coughs and colds now from everyone sleeping outside on the ground and the wind blowing dust every night. We have hygiene kits that we are giving out to each family (soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, etc.) to help them with cleanliness. While we are not doing food distribution directly from the clinic (more about that later), we are keeping stashes of granola bars, peanut butter, etc, so we can give at least a little to those who come because they are hungry, not sick. We have been able to set up a system of food distribution in our village of Ti Tanyen, whereby the community has been divided into 4 quadrants and we have 3 people responsible in each quadrant plus people helping them and we have taken the big sacks of rice, beans, and cornmeal over to the Kindergarten and some of our teachers and leaders in the church bagged up everything we sent and distributed it to as many families as possible in each quadrant. David Heady had our school director and some others do an informal census of Ti Tanyen before we started this, and we have come up with about 6000 people that now live there. (When we moved here 7 years ago, it was about 2000 or so.) We will work with Samaritan's Purse to continue this distribution so we can keep feeding them for some time to come. We will also be able to do another large tarp distribution to several communities to replace the sheets that people have used to build shelters. Some organizations are passing out tents (mostly in Port-au-Prince where the damage is much worse) and we wish we had some, but tarps are the next best thing. The basketball court that was almost completed is now a helicopter pad and hanger for the Samaritan's Purse helicopter. Some day it will be completely finished and used to play basketball, but for now it's a helipad. Chris and his crew will finish the one last section on Tuesday to complete the cement base of the court, so the helicopter can be wheeled in and out of the hanger with ease. Our campus is home to
several displaced Haitian families, about 60 members of Samaritan's Purse, a group of Friendship International people that will be setting up tents and camping here, a missionary group out of the Dominican that are also camping here and using our space as a drop-off and storage area for fuel and food distribution to ministries in Port-au-Prince, two different medical organizations that are coming in for 7 to10-day stays and both groups are committed long-term. As one in each group rotates out, another rotates in. Josh says it feels like we are on an extended mission trip and in one sense we have lost that "Oasis in the Desert" that we had here, but we know the compound is being used to fulfill His purpose
Due to the recent catastrophe that has affected the entire country of Haiti, we ask everyone interested in helping us as we serve the people of Haiti to please only send financial contributions. It is impossible to send supplies at this point unless you are a large aid relief organization.
If the Lord leads you to make a financial contribution, please send check or money order to:

Earthquake Victims Need Continued Medical Attention
Global Outreach continues to move medical supplies, food, tents, and medical teams into Haiti. Wednesday night, shortly after 10 PM, a medical team out of Mississippi and Kentucky returned as a medical team out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, went in.
David Vance, nurse-anesthetist of Tupelo, Mississippi, returned today after two weeks in Haiti. David shared that the extreme urgent care seems to be slightly diminishing; however, there remains a considerable need for follow up medical care to treat patients who had amputation of limbs, open wounds, treat infectious disease, and they continue to see large numbers of burn victims.
Volunteer teams continue to share, as we’ve seen on news outlets, that there is a tremendous job ahead to rebuild Haiti. Our Global Outreach Haiti missionaries have begun to see some shops opening, food shops, markets, and hardware.
Our newest missionaries to Haiti, Joe and Linda Sullivan, arrived in Haiti this week and immediately immersed themselves in the ministry. Our staff asked that we pray that they will be able to get donated goods through Haitian customs clearance without too much delay.
Again we ask that you send your financial gifts for Haiti to Global Outreach International, P.O. Box 1, Tupelo, MS 38802.
REMEMBER: Give to Haiti now and deduct from your “09” tax return!
100% of all gifts go directly to Haiti Relief
