Today there’s more news from Leogane, Haiti, where you may have heard that our pastor is serving as French-speaking chaplain with a Haitian medical team. Below is a note that was sent to Jennie Bixby by the gentleman who is leading the medical team: update from Haitian medical team in Haiti (23 Jan.2010) on the Global Grace facebook page discussion topics

Hey guys,

So as Susan said, we landed safely, thank God. A generous donor has not only paid for our chartered flight here but also for our stream of shipments of equipment that’s coming from Denver and from New York. AND for the coach bus that’s carrying the 5 thousand so pounds of supplies we brought with us.

We ate Spaghetti last night, had a debriefing session where everyone was introduced to my mom and dad and family and retired for the night. This building has withstood 60 + aftershocks so we stayed in it last night. After the bus arrives today though and we have our tents, we’ll probably set shop outside like everyone else here.

We’re in Leogane in the dorms of the nursing school. Everyone is busy helping out and there are a LOT of wounded, lots of fractures, amputations and our team is already working hard. They’re eating, staying hydrated and in an upbeat mood. There are teams from Minnesota, Iowa, Japan, Tennessee, Kansas, Atlanta, and contingents of UN troops all around us so we’re not alone but supplies are still few. Thank God we have more on the way.

Continue to pray for us, hopefully I’ll have some pictures in the next update. If I can today I will, if not definitely tomorrow.

Later and lots of love from everyone on the team!

Jennie added at 5pm this evening that she heard the team’s bags have arrived! They are all working hard to help the victims there. There are lots of bones to be set and surgeries to be done.
