Working Together

Below is a report of the Arbaughs and the MCC Medical teams, who met up with NEW Missions in Leogane, Haiti. I love reading stories like this one, God is bringing people TOGETHER and in the spirit of UNITY, things are getting done. He has granted NEW Missions favor and the US military continues to use the mission as a base. In the meantime, much work is getting done and tons of food is being distributed.

"We returned last night from a couple days in Leogane, an area along the coast. We spent the night in a field, and the stars were amazing. Our VMM Haiti Program Management Group (PMG) pastor friend Enoch hosted us. He is a dear, long time member of our mission direction committee whose house was destroyed. The first day we held a small clinic for his village/community. We took care of several patients who had lost children in the quake, which was heartbreaking. That evening, we went to New Mission on the coast a couple of miles away and picked up food and water rations and face masks. Yesterday, we worked outside of a tent city nearby and held clinic for most of the day- we were fortunate to have some shade from trees. The truck’s axle broke, but Joe managed to get it fixed quickly, and pastor Enoch rented a tap-tap (taxi) and we caravanned for the couple of hours back home. In spite of the heat, we are doing well and greatly appreciate your prayer support."--James Arbaugh
