Steve and Nancy are doing medical work in different clinics in Haiti under the sponsorship of the Haitian Baptist Convention. They have been re-appointed and commissioned as jointly appointed missionaries, in partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

 Nancy writes from Haute Limbe: Monday, Jan. 18: I was able to have three good contacts with Steve today telling about more details of their situation at the clinic in Christianville near Leogoane.  Steve, Dr. Arch, Mme. Desire and Roy and nine other missionaries make a total of thirteen helping to staff the mission.  A number of those there during the earthquake returned to the U.S. today. Two of the staff who stayed are nursing mothers with babies! The Haitian doctors on staff at the clinic had family members affected by the earthquake and left last week to care for them. 

 The clinic is located 2 miles from the Epicenter of the earthquake and they continue to feel aftershocks.  Steve reported that they felt nine so far today, one tremor that knocked medicine from the shelves of the pharmacy.  They have been consulting wounded people as they arrive treating them outdoors under the trees on tables. Steve said he and Arch set a broken leg on the back of a flat-bed truck. They kept busy most of the day seeing patients.

 Steve, Arch and Roy want everyone to know how much they appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for them and for all of Haiti during this hour of crisis. It is a time of stress but also they are so glad that they are there able to be of help.
