HCJB Global Hands and Haiti

As you well know, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Port-au-Prince, Haiti, last Tuesday.  On Friday, a team from HCJB Global who usually serve in Ecuador arrived in Haiti to help with the victims. The team consisted of orthopedic surgeons, general physicians, a nurse, and a water engineer.  They are working in partnership with Samaritan’s Purse at Baptist Haiti Mission.  Upon arrival there was only one doctor working at the hospital.  Since then we’ve been following updates on HCJB Global’s Twitter account, website, etc.  It’s been incredible to read of all that is happening at the hospital, how God is using those doctors, and watching God provide in extraordinary ways.  The Samaritan’s Purse chaplains who are working alongside the doctors have seen at least 30 people accept Christ as their Savior.

In addition to our medical team, HCJB Global has a partner ministry who we have helped start radio stations with.  HCJB Global actually had an engineer from the US in Haiti setting up a station when the earthquake struck.  Praise God he is now home and safe.  The stations have been able to broadcast, though at least one is broadcasting from a field outside the building as they are nervous the building itself is going to collapse.  They are just intent on broadcasting the good news of the Gospel in this time of desperation in Haiti.

Hopefully this will help you know at least a few specific things to be praying for Haiti as well.
