Prayer for Haiti Team

My cousin, Matthew Porter, who is a family practice doctor in Waco, Texas is serving in Haiti this week as part of an 11 person medical team from his church, Antioch. Here is an update from his team:

They arrived safely last night to the Dominican Republic and he said everyone is doing well and in good spirits. They worked for several hours today in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Jimani, DR treating puncture wounds, broken limbs, and performing some amputations. Tomorrow they are planning on all sticking together and heading in as a team to Haiti to continue serving the need. They have had great favor with the people there and have several options for how to proceed in Haiti.


Please pray with me this week for Matt and his fellow teammates. Pray for their strength and safety. Pray that they can share the love of Jesus and give beyond measure to these people in great need. Thanks for your prayers!
