The reports are that there are now about 50 outside workers in the Carrefour area in which, two weeks ago, we were alone with the Smoker's. We are so thankful for God's provision in providing so many willing hands to help!

Dr. Gerdes is on his way home now, having stayed as long as he could. Many thanks to his wife, children, and Glens Falls Hospital for allowing him to go!

One of our goals next week is to visit Jeremie, a town receiving an enormous influx of refugees. Bryan and my father, Wes Smith, are going to meet with the church leaders there to organize an effort to help feed these people and the families who have taken them in.

We also want to take our friend, a physician's assistant, to help at the public hospital when we go. Travis, Kate and one of their friends, Justin, have all withdrawn from their college classes in order to return to Haiti. They are waiting to see if there will be room on the plane for them.

My cousins, Lori and Jenny Martineau, both arrived and worked in the Petionville area hospitals as interpreters for the doctors. Jenny just returned to the US to take care of her son. Lori, however, has also withdrawn from her classes and is staying indefinitely to help.

Bryan is fund-raising, speaking in churches, communicating with our Haitian contacts, and keeping his business going. Pray for energy and strength to continue.
