    In Port-au-Prince, Haiti with a young patient who wants to

    be a pastor when he grows up!

    I just got back from Haiti with our medical team. During our week in Port-au-Prince, our team of 27

    had a chance to treat 1315 patients and we shared Jesus and prayed with every patient we saw. As a

    result of your prayers and the work of the Spirit, 35 Haitians indicated decisions for Jesus. Praise the

    Lord! The best way to communicate how God worked in and through our team while in Haiti, is to letyou hear directly from those who served. Here are their stories!

    "Praying with the Haitians we saw in clinic was one of the most powerful experiences of the trip. In

    each prayer was an underlying connection between me and the patient that says, 'I know little of your

    daily struggles and you know little of mine; but we love and are loved by the same Jesus, and bring our

    disparate struggles before the same God, who understands us both.' There are few bonds as strong as

    the one of communal prayer that transcends culture. I often forget that Jesus isn't American, and this trip was a convicting reminder that

    Haiti, indeed every nation, has as much a claim to the Gospel as we do."

    - Dan Tucker, Emory Medical Student

    Everyone who came in to the clinic had a face which was downcast and showed deep sorrow and suffering. However, when the name of

    Jesus was mentioned, I watched the faces of at least 6 of my patients each day go from downcast to full of light and life, and they started

    praising God and giving Him glory and testifying to His greatness and love - just at the mention of Jesus' name. Truly the great light shin-

    ing on them is reflected in their faces because they trust in God as their only hope and salva-

    tion.. I met so many people whose lives have been completely changed by Christ, and I also

    grew spiritually and came to a deeper understanding of several core aspects of Jesus' character

    and God's will as previously I had only read about such things, but now have experienced how

    God works in the poor and suffering to glorify His name and increase His kingdom.

    - Dr. Matt Fisher, Family Practice

    "I've been truly blessed to be able to serve the Haitian people these last two years. There's no

    greater joy than bringing the eternal hope of Jesus Christ to those who may never have earthly

    hope."- Dr. Keith Miller, Orthopedic Surgeon
