Below is a portion of an update that one of our team leaders sent to his family over text message.

I'm still in Jacmel. Lived through my first earthquake. A 6.1. You definitely feel the earth move when it strikes. It lasted what seemed to be about 5 seconds, but they said it lasted about 10--thus making it another quake, and not a tremor.

We spent the day around the airport as relief planes came and went. Got a chance to pray with a girl who was there with her deceased friend's body. She was an American waiting for a plane to take her and the body of her friend back to the U.S.  She was just sitting on the side of the runway with the bodybag.

We were also in downtown Jacmel today and the devastation was heartbreaking.  The doctors are amputating everyone with severe broken bones because they have no screws to put them back together. One of the team members went to the medical warehouse in Santo Domingo to purchase a bunch of ortho supplies.

We should be back in DR tomorrow night. Will update again as soon as I get the chance.

Continue to keep the entire advance team in prayer as they seek the Lord and continue to be used by Him to bring comfort and hope in Christ.
