UPDATE: The team is very thankful for the US marines who escorted them from the airport landing to the compound. They have no bags or equipment with them at this time. He said that it is VERY primitive. As they arrived a young girl come into the clinic, dying of her wounds. He said that they are surround by thousands of people sleeping in tents, and sadly death is all around. (9:50pm CT, 1/22 - from Jennie Bixby).

Morning Star’s lead pastor, Bob Bixby, is going to be able to accompany the Haitian medical team for whom we had the 24hr medical supply/formula drive. Although the opportunity was unexpected and short-notice, Bob is uniquely equipped as a fluent French-speaker and a faithful Gospel-preacher. Today is a day of crazy last-minute preparations, packing, passport-updating; but he is slated to fly out early Friday morning, join with the medical team, and come home around February 8th. Please pray for him to be used mightily for the glory of God and the good of His people–in Haiti.
