Haiti Update | 1-20-10
The team got up early this morning and tracked down a plane (thanks to the help of some contacts in the DR). Though it’ll be quite costly, they’re hoping to share some of the expenses with another group going to Haiti. If all goes as planned, they’ll be leaving this afternoon for Jacmel, Haiti. I’ll continue update this situation as I get more info from them.
There are four doctors on this trip (Dr. Lovera Miller, Dr. David Miller, Dr. Ben Mannix, and Dr. Laura Hannon). If the reports from the media can be believed, the medical situation in most of Haiti is dire. Continue to pray for them and that God will guide their hands as they do what they can to provide help for the people of Jacmel.
Also, a 6.1-magnitude aftershock earthquake hit Haiti this morning. Here’s the latest from CNN.

Because of the nature of what was happening, we’ve been keeping this under wraps… until now. Yesterday, as was reported, our teams were broken up. I told you about the two medical teams that were diligently working on doing some incredible medical work. I didn’t tell you about what was happening with our third team;

Dr. Dave Miller is leading one of our medical teams in Grand Goâve. He’s currently partnering with another organization with which HSM has ties called Lifeline. Within this group is also Dr. Lavera Miller, Dr. Laura Hannon, and Starr Nyby. Dr. Miller sent us this update tonight (sent from an iPhone so edited a bit

“I’ve never witnessed anything like this. People are dying in front of our eyes, Lou.” This evening, Jay Loucks called Lou Hoekstra (the President of Haitian Support Ministries) and I (the guy that spends far too much time on the internet) and filled us in on some of the emotional scenes that our team is

Wow. Where to start? Today was such a hectic day for me and the rest of our team left here in the States. I can’t imagine what our team in Haiti is feeling right now. Troopers; that’s what they are. To give you a clear picture of what happened today, let’s look at a time

Jeff sent this to me tonight: Nate, Well, we have arrived in Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic. It has been an interesting trip so far. Nothing to unique about the long process of getting to the island of Hispanola. However, now that we are here and were sitting down for dinner, one of Jay’s contacts met

On January 19th at 4 AM, twelve people from the LaPorte area (mainly doctors and nurses) will embark on a trip to Haiti. We’re excited about the opportunity to not only assess the situation and ministries in Jacmel but to hopefully be a part of bringing restoration and relief to the people (physically and spiritually)

Jean Claude was able to call us today. He talked with Lynn Loucks and told her that Lewis is with him in Jacmel. He also stated that Calvary Christian Church in Jacmel was able to feed 200 people yesterday. In the midst of the chaos, they have not forgotten their calling. Jean Claude has requested

I’m filled with tears right now. I’m so thankful. Here is an email sent to us by a missionary in Jacmel… I did find Pastor Jean Claude, orphanage, and a few kids. The building is a goner, as you can see below. None of the children were injured. However, they have no place to stay

Since many people have called/emailed/facebook’d me about what’s going on in Haiti, I thought I’d compile all the information that we have here. As all should know by now, Haiti was rocked by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Haitian Support Ministries, an organization very close to my heart, is located in Jacmel, Haiti (on the very southern

I’m going to Haiti in the summer of 2010. I want YOU to go with me. Yes, you! Here’s the deal: we’re taking a team down to Haiti next summer with the purpose of loving on some orphans and street kids. This verse in James has always been a motivating factor for a missional life:
