I find it hard to express in to words what I have experienced in the past couple of days. The sights, smells, noises and feelings you go through will effect you for a lifetime. Pictures do not give it justice. One has to be here to realize this is a disaster of biblical proportions. The people of Haiti are still trying to come to gripes of what has happened to their Island. They stand in lines must of the day. There are food lines, medical lines, government assistant lines, faith based lines, and the list goes on and on. Change is coming but at almost a snails pace. Most of the dead are still entombed in collapsed buildings. Southern Baptist are doing assess
ments as fast as possible. SBC medical teams are literally seeing hundreds of patients a day. They are doing everything from delivering babies to amputating crushed limbs. They work long hours sometimes 13 hour days! Thousand more need to be seen during these desperate times in Haiti. A lot of water wells were damaged during the earthquake so good water is scarce. We have teams on the ground that I am working with that are purifying water and drilling by hand new wells. I am working with a team that has a drill that is the newest and easiest hand drill that will hopefully help Haitians get safe water economically and quickly. We started drilling today and drilled 16 ft. I feel certain tomorrow we will hit water and the people of this village will go to the church to receive not only fresh water but the Living Water, Jesus Christ. I hope I can report to you soon with more pics and stories.
