Dr Bob’s latest report on the Earthquake Relief Programs Feb 24th, 2010
Gentlefolk:
All our disaster teams are finally safe at home. Our third team, led by David Bevil, consisting of he and six medical personnel, just finished their stint at General Hospital in PAP. They report that while the patient mix is gradually shifting from acute trauma to more medical problems like dysentery, typhoid and malaria, there are still many hundred with infected wounds and needing ongoing fracture management. Dr Jim Gaffney, a team member who worked in the ER, said that thousands were still pouring in to the triage tents, and that the International Medical Corps (IMC) was still running things and coordinating volunteer teams, and would likely be doing so for months to come.
Meanwhile, Betty and Nancy continued to address crucial needs of food and water to a targeted area of intense need in the Charbonnierre area. They were blessed to be able to work with Mme. Pierre Alexi, wife of the latest prime minister, who is using the community action group known as CHRESOF, of which she is the directress, to obtain and organize food distribution throughout several needy areas of Port-au-Prince. Unfortunately, while she has been promised food (more…)

Here’s some photos that Howard took of the MOL Tents and barrels that are boarding the Lady Lotmore and headed to PAP!
Thank you to all our supporters who makes it all possible!
These tents are going to be a true blessing to the Haitian people.

Here’s a picture of the 100 tents from GigaTent… on their way to the Lady Lotmore…shipping out on Saturday (along with the 43 other tents we are driving down).
* Update – Joe has been busy – very busy – buying tents! Thanks so all of the contributions – especially from Crossroads Church in Evansville, IN, MOL has acquired at least 162 tents (some even with sleeping bags) that will be shipped into Haiti soon. We’re still in need of more tents so keep the word spreading among your circle of friends!
Please join in this effort to help the people in Haiti. The idea is simple: purchase and deliver tents to people in need. My original goal was to obtain 50 tents and send them to the area near Jolivert or Port-de-Paix, but the new goal is to obtain 500 tents and, as soon as possible, get them to an area nearer to Port-a-Prince (specifically, the community of Charbonierre where Dr. Bob and Betty have taken on 600 families, approx. 3,000 people).
Thanks to the efforts of Jim Gonyea of Great Lakes Camping Supply, we have managed to already obtain 10 very large tents (12 person tents) at a deeply discounted price. Wal-Mart has also donated 8 tents, but we need many more and of different sizes. Tents are being evaluated based on availability (need to ship quickly), quality (each needs to have a waterproof floor and rain fly) and cost-per-person-sheltered. The key is to move quickly because the rainy season is almost here and many thousands remain without shelter.
So the request is simple — please help with this effort by donating today. Using the PayPal button below is the easiest way to donate. Time is of the essence. This is once-in-a-lifetime tragedy that requires a quick response.
Our progress can be followed on the Mission of Love homepage or on Twitter @Tents4Haiti (note, we’re not “@TentsForHaiti”)
Thanks and God Bless.
-Joe & Kathy Judge

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope for His loving kindness, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield, for our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name. Let Thy loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in Thee.” Psalm 33:18 – 22
This is our prayer for all the people of Haiti and for those who are involved in aid and rescue efforts.
Though we weren’t able to go to Haiti in the Fall, due mostly to family obligations and the need to make a trip to the dock in Miami with supplies for Haiti, our minds and hearts are never far from the Haitian people. During that time, we presented the mission to at least five different groups, not counting our own church family. We were also able to accumulate funds to complete the installation of solar power on our mission compound.
One of the most fun presentatio
ns we made was to a Christian school in New Jersey where a friend of ours teaches. There were about fifty children in grades 1 – 8. They were so interested and so well behaved, we spent most of the day with them. They gave us their assembly time to speak about the mission, and they gave us toys and donations for the people there.

Thought you might like to see the Haitian people in prayer. Those who lost someone in the earthquake were asked to wear white. Dr. Bob said that while he was there Friday – it was a sea of white.

This week, as the last 4 weeks, has been a whirlwind at the MOL office. So many medical supplies have arrived at our door step thanks to people all over the USA. This week we have packed 16 more barrels with medical supplies, shoes , clothing, baby formula, medicines and peanut butter. Thanks to many who have helped in the last weeks at Reflection of Christ Church to get this first shipment to the ship which leaves for Haiti on the 20th. Sixty plus barrels will be on their way to be distributed to earthquake victims.
Just this first month, MOL has sent over $30,000 to Earthquake Victims. All of this could not have been accomplished without the help of our Kentucky and Indiana friends. A big thanks to Terry Anderson, Joe Greene, Karen Becher, Howard Jenkins, Bruce, David & Jackie Bevil, Annie Desmond & her children, Moe Phelps, Eric Ross, Mark Phelps, Wayne Barnett, Garrett Wathen,Willie & Dee Dee Tichenor , Ralph & Barbie Porter, Pastor Ray Peach, Meghann Phelps and to Cindy Asberry the church Secretary for putting up with all the boxes blocking her office door and to the Berrymans who did fund raising in our county and provided storage space for many of the medical supplies.
Saturday morning Bruce, Terry & Joe will be loading the second truck from the Missions of Love Office. Our prayers and tears go with the shipment that leaves for Haiti on the 20th. I met with the Bevil group that is leaving on the 14th and Matt Peech came and gave an update to them on what to expect when arriving in PAP. The group seems geared up and ready to carry those 50lb army bags packed with supplies into Haiti. God Bless them for their obedience.
