Haiti Prayer Requests.
- Hundreds of thousands in need of: tents, food, water, medical care, school supplies, jobs, spiritual teaching.
- Safety from additional earthquakes and mudslides as the spring rains start.
- Heath despite the risks of living outside under sheets and in tent city-malaria, typhoid, dysentery, respiratory flu, stomach flu, measles, mumps, meningitis, Dengue fever etc.
- Continued medical care for injuries and trauma directly caused by the earthquake. Adjustments for the hundreds of amputees and parapelegics.
- Additional supplies and medical personnel for the Petit Goave clinic. We just learned that the hospital has been shut down and so the Wesleyan field clinic is now a hospital complete with surgery, emergency care and in-patients.
- Care for orphans and elderly who have lost caretakers.
- Psychological stress and illness from the trauma as well as stressful living conditions and risks.
- Missionaries-change of job descriptions, heavy schedules as deal with personal stress. Working outside skill sets and comfort zones.
- Team organization, supplies, travel and projects-many people still coming to help. No commercial airline flights yet to Port-au-Prince.
- School restarting in many of the provences with additional students who have relocated from Port.

- Additional costs-increase cost of supplies, food, medical supplies, housing, travel.
- That opportunities to witness about eternal life will not be pushed aside by the pressing needs of this life.
