The day started with another run as I prepare for the upcoming 10k. The goal is to be ready for a marathon in the USA sometime in April. It is going to be a tough thing to accomplish but I am giving it a shot. So I ran with one of the guys this morning at 6:15am . It was an easy run this morning. I wish I could get credit for “running around” so much too.

Today was a day of running around. Amidst the tonnage of things to accomplish for Haiti we are still trying to accomplish for our ministry in general. This week I have a little bit of a crunch because we are preparing for a men’s conference in April, needing to pay Pastors in Haiti this Friday and preparing to leave for Haiti for an extended length of time. That means that everything needs to be in place before I leave, otherwise there could be problems.

One of the things I am most excited about is that we are now sponsoring a Haitian doctor. She has been educated in the Dominican but wants to return to Haiti . As soon as she finished school the earthquake struck and she has been thrown into the fire. We are asking her to work in a location called Cay-Jacmel for one month. This is a clinic which has a doctor who also happens to be a bone doctor. Dr. Philip is his name and he has worked more hours than anyone I know in this situation. Doctor Philip desires to aid his country and save lives.

There are two unique things about the doctor we are now sponsoring- she is a female and she wants to return to Haiti to work in her field. This is great and she will do wonderful things in conjunction with Dr. Philip. I can’t wait to see them working together to assist in saving life and limb.

I’ll write more as tomorrow I leave for Haiti for an uncertain amount of time. We are going to begin planning how we can assist in the rebuilding phase of the post earthquake Haiti . There will be much listening going on. I ask for your prayers for wisdom as we assess what to do and how to do it.
