URGENT: Prayers for Haiti

Please remember our friend Tony in your prayers.  He has confirmed that his sister and her children were killed by the quake.

We have been working with Tony in recent weeks as we have been building our program in Haiti.  Prior to the quake, Tony was going to provide ground transportation for our scouting team. 

We have also been in contact with Aaron, an aid worker from South Carolina, who has been able to keep us updated via Text message.  Aaron is in a remote area serving at Hospital Lumiere and has been working hard to treat the injured.  The medical supplies his team brought in are now gone with many people still in need of treatment.

Aaron has asked that we pray hard for medical supplies from one of the aid organizations (like the Red Cross or Global Outreach).  People are losing lives and limbs due to the lack of supplies.  Some have had open wounds and factures that have been untreated for seven days. 

The UN dropped off food and water this morning, which is an answer to earlier prayers.  Please pray for more medical supplies.
