Lifeline's First Medical Team

Lifeline hosted the first medical group, and what a group it was. This medical group was a great blessing in more ways than one. This was made possible because a group of people from many different places cared enough to work together for the good of the Haitian people. For months a good friend worked diligently with me to make this medical team a reality. I appreciate the diligence and hard work that he put into making this a tremendous success. Thanks Ben

The team was a group of people who started working together long before they made the trip to Haiti. They began coordinating and working to collect medicine that was going to make a tremendous difference in so many lives. It was exciting to see the wheels in motion with this group. When we unloaded the medicine that they had brought it was like opening Christmas gifts except we realized these gifts were going to make a life changing difference. People that could never afford even to see a doctor was about to get an examination and the medicine they so desperately needed for about $1.00.
When we started to open the doors to the clinic there was a long line of people who had gotten the word that there was help for them and their babies. You should have seen the line of people pressing their way through the crowd.



If that wasn't enough it was more impressive to experience what they got inside the doors of the clinic. These people were seen by compassionate caregivers who cared about their physical needs, hurts, and pains. They took the time to care for those who couldn't help themselves.


Every patient that was seen was prayed with and was given a trac sharing the plan of salvation. It was wonderful to not only share medical knowledge and medicine but something that would last for eternity.


Every day started with prayer and it seemed as if God took over after that. Thanks to everyone that worked so diligently to make this possible.
