Lord, increase our Faith!
On January 12, 2010 Haiti was struck by a very powerful earthquake. The Haitian Ministry Theophile Church In Christ mission team in Atlanta,Georgia BIG FAITH MISSION has put together some time and effort and went to Haïti on June 1, 2010. The BIG FAITH MISSION gave away clothes, toiletries, medical supplies, medical aid and most importantly the love of Jesus to those in need.
The team was composed of one very talented and humble Haitian medical Doctor, four nurses from the US; two of them Haitian born. Two nurses from Haiti, one of the US Church Pastor, one Evangelist/Nurse, one Evangelist Volunteer, five Nurse technicians , local volunteers and a Pastor from Haiti.
In the three areas we served over 600 people in three days. The team set up clinics in L’Acul, Darbonne, (Leogane) and Jacquet, (Croix-des-Bouquets). The first day, the team set up a clinic outside a church. The crowd was so large, they had to use a tent made out of coconut leaves for registration and triage.
The second day at Darbonne (Leogane), there were 120 houses built by a Christian organization, they used three of the houses with the tenants’ permission to set up a clinic, registration and humanitarian aid .
The third day, at Jacquet (Croix-des-Bouquets) which was the most needed area of the three. The children were the sickest and the poorest.
The people were treated with fevers, infections, skin rashes, gastrointestinal problems, parasites and other maladies. Their prescriptions were filled out free of charge from the medications stocks.
At Jacquet (Croix-Des-Bouquets), the team had 140 families registered and each family had two to three members per family, and according to them every one had an illness and needed to see the Doctor. Fortunately, the team managed to see the sickest of the sick.
The majority of the people who came, left with medications if needed and with a bag donated by Southern Crescent Hospital for Specialty Care in Riverdale, Georgia with toiletries, clothes and some with money as well.

Hello, I will be going back on a medical mission donating a table top ultrasound machine to Centre Medical Emmanuel in Cayes-Jacmel at the end of July. Myself and one other team member. I have to fly the cargo boxed with Missionary Flights International out of Ft. Pierce. American Airlines and others are no longer accepting boxes. I do not speak Creole and was wondering if anybody would like to volunteer to help me on my mission, my Haitian nurse is unable to come this trip. I need to get medical gear out of Porta Prince then I fly on to Cayes Jacmel. It a costly flight with MFI to PAP and I am sorry I can not pay my volunteers way. I am called Disaster Services USA trying to do a medical training mission to this hospital but I need a security type male to help . I am afraid to travel alone but would if I had somebody that knows Creole and can give assistance in helping with handling gear bags etc. Tks Brenda LeFer Jonesboro, Ga.
