Like many of my friends and I have been tracking the things YWAM has been doing in Haiti since the earthquake, but yet have seen any articles or recognition of the great job the volunteers (YWAM personnel and medical personnel physicians and nurses, etc)have been doing downtown Port Au Prince and the almost 600 patients the rotating medical teams are treating daily and the over 1000 people served with food on almost a regular basis Medical teams of doctors, nurses, surgeons, dentist, etc are going into the camp across from the National Palace and have been since days 3 (I think), but I never see pictures or see articles related to the jobs they are doing, but I did read what went on in St Marque. I know for a fact there have been thousands of pictures taken at the camp (mision rescate as it is named now), but I never see any. The amount of donatons increases by the day, I see. The medical supplies including medications that have been donated have been too numerous to count. Doctors bringing in their own medications ($10,000 from just one doctor at one time)…..That’s just the tip of the iceberg. More and more medical teams want to rotate constantly. Why aren’t any of these things printed so people can see the awesome job the people there are doing through God’s grace?
Hello there Toni, thanks for your comment. My name is Phil Cunningham, I was helping in St. Marc and in Port Au Prince. I have seen the good/amazing work that Bomi and her volunteers are doing there. It is amazing what God is doing and how he is providing for them.
The reason there are so many pictures and stories of the work in St Marc is that is where I was for most of my time there. We are also registering teams for Mission Adventures through St. Marc so this site comes out of that as well. I am not sure if they have a writer/blogger/photographer in Purt Au Prince or not, but you are right, their story needs to be told.
We will be sending teams to Port Au Prince to work with Peterson and the other there as there is such a great need. I am so sorry that you took this the way you did, I understand what you are saying though. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
I spent ten days with Mision Rescate, including three days
with my church, and was hugely impressed. Administrators with no pecking order, rather a servant heart. Lots of dedicated physicians and nurses from Haiti, the US, Argentina, and Canada, and servants of God from Brazil, the
Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Peru. One Brazilian, a very educated and cultured man, took the important responsiblility to keep the toilets clean, among the other ministries he participated in! This was a humbling experience. A lot of people who were not health professionals helping us and helping the Haitian people.
If the world press does not notice, God does! John 12:26.
A lot of people from a lot of places serving up to 600 people a day.
Hi Brian, I am sure I was able to work with you for a little while. I have been there twice participating in servanthood as one of the nurses that came from the south Flrida medical team. You are right what an awesome and humbling experience; so much so that we are organizing another team and will be going down midweek next week for trip number 3. What a blessing it is to work with God’s servants from all over the world and work for the same common goal. Hope to see you there again!
