Note from Rebecca Williams

I am overwhelmed by the number of e-mails we have received expressing support for Roody and our work in supplying baby formula, bottles, and other infant care items in and around the Leogane area. Thank you so very much for your generous prayers and gifts toward our relief efforts in Haiti.

If your interest in our ministry is in response to our missionary Roody Joseph's radio interview, I know Roody will be humbled by the fact that his witness in how God is working in and through him touched your heart.

Above are some photos of several of the MANY little survivors Roody is serving. One is a photo is of the little girl he singled out during his interview. He was able to have two-year-old Marie Yolene Paulin seen by a doctor and the doctor said that, had it been left untreated, she most likely would have died within a week from the horrendous infection in her poor little burned arm.

She was pulled from the rubble the day of the quake and initial treatment consisted of wrapping it in a towel. The pain and infection remained untreated from Jan 12th until Roody found her on Feb 1st. She even got a new outfit out of the deal from orphanage that assumed guardianship of her from Roody.

We shipped a palette of baby formula and baby bottles to Roody this weekend. Since we do not have a truck in Haiti, he is struggling to find a way to pick it up from the airport. Please join us in praying for provision in the form of a donated truck , a “loaner” truck or someone with a truck to provide transportation so that Roody will be able to to pick up and distribute this and subsequent shipments of vital, life-saving supplies.

You are now a vital part of our team - supporting God's work in Haiti. Thank you again.
May you be abundantly blessed and may God continue to bless others through you.

P.S. 10:03pm Just spoke with Roody. He is spending the night at the orphanage near the DR border. You would think he was in a five-star hotel to hear him tell about it. He said the place is beautiful and we-equipped. They just received new mattresses so he is spending the night under the stars on a new mattress after having relished a warm shower (with real running water!) He’s in heaven.
