SRC is the first to respond to medical teams needs

Received from El Shaddai Ministries on Jan. 20th at 10am:

Dear Team,
You are the first responding team to go to Haiti from the US through ESMI. Dr. Don, whom some of you met, went to Croix des Bouquets last week with 5 nurses. I don't know what the situation is there. Maybe I'll get word from Dony today. But as you prepare, please expect the worst. Think of a war zone where you are helping those wounded and you have very little medical apparatus to work with. You only have God, your team mates and the supplies you came in with. If I hear differently, I'll let you know. A team tried to do medical missions in PAP and they were swarmed. The need is so overwhelming. You will be outside of PAP and the patients will be brought to you. Please know that there are lots, lots of details that Dony will try to work out today. Pray for the team there. As soon as I hear anything from Dony, I'll let you know.

Thanks Spanish River and New Covenant for working together to get down there this week and coordinating the small aircraft connection. It would be so much easier to go next week with AA. You are making an incredible sacrifice to be there this week and not later. May God bless your efforts for His glory.

We'll ask DouDou to be with you at all times, I know you love him and feel very safe with him. There are folks from Cayes who will also be with you at the missions site to help with translation. I believe the Haitian nurses who are already there will do triage.

Blessings,
Sharon St. Germain
