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.)

Pastor Bob Bixby, working in Haiti as a French-speaking chaplain with a medical team there (Jan.22-Feb.8), has had an opportunity to email some publishable excerpts from his journal entries. We would like to make them public for all the team members’ families and friends to read, as well. Hopefully these will give us a better glimpse into what Haitians are facing, and better information for how we can be helping from here and praying for the team.

Vol.I - Introduction & Day 1 (1/22/10)
Vol.II - Day 2 (1/23/10)
Vol.III - Day 3 (1/24/10)

We will keep this post updated with new links as Pastor is able to send more excerpts in the future.
