On his Facebook account this evening, Bob Bixby posted an album of 123 photos taken during his time in Haiti serving as a French-speaking chaplain alongside a medical/trauma team.

Bob Bixby’s
“Haiti Memories”

Pastor Bixby got home this past Wednesday night from his time in Haiti serving as a French-speaking chaplain with a medical trauma team. The team found they were able to accomplish their goals sooner than planned, addressing immediate overwhelming needs, laying the necessary foundation for efficient future work, etc.. With more personnel arriving (”fresh troops” as it were) and the situation stabilizing, the team decided it was time to come home. So all of Morning Star’s leadership team members are home in Rockford for the moment, safe and sound, and ready to share what they experienced.

Channel 23 News (WIFR-CBS) came out and interviewed Pastor and Jeremy about what they saw in Haiti and how it’s affected/continuing to affect them. (You can also check out the photos from their trips and Pastor’s journal entry excerpts in the righthand sidebar.)

The remaining boxes of formula and medical supplies stored in NY have been shipped out by FedEx. They are en route down to the DR then will be trucked directly to Leogane to be received by the Drs. Charles. The shipping is being graciously financed by Donna Auguste (of the Leave a Little Room Foundation), a contact of Jodel Charles who led the team on which Pastor served. You can see photos of the pallets’ preparation and those who worked hard to get them transported here.

Pictured here are Rick Bovell’s uncle - Colin Bovell; Larry Morant, a member of Jamaica-Queens Wesleyan (where the items were stored before shipping out); and Lunique Dyl, Jodel Charles’ cousin, who resides in NY. They were all very instrumental in the project’s successful completion.
