Summerlins

Gene and his wife Terri are in Mirebalais this week. Their son Trey has been there since early June. Gene has been to Haiti multiple times. This is Terri's first trip. Pray for them. Also, Gene is visiting with the Partners in Health Haiti director today. PiH has been very helpful in giving us input and insight as we put together plans to build our community health clinic in Mirebalais.

Here are some pictures from Gene's fb page:

Don't Forget Haiti

Six months is a long time in our sound-bite, media-clip, reality-show-lovin', sensational-driven culture.  I have one simple message today: don't forget Haiti.  Her problems today are as great as ever.  See the following:

At Grace Chapel, we are focusing in on building a medical clinic in Mirebalais:

We invite you to get involved with the building and the furnishing of the clinic.  If you have questions about the project, contact Gene Summerlin at gene@osolaw.com or me at mike@gracepca.com.

Update on Michelle! Hallelujah!

Some of you might remember a little girl we met in Haiti back in February. Her name was Michelle and she had a fibrous tumor. Here's my blog entry from our encounter:

Our ministry partners had not been able to locate Michelle until recently but I just received this report from Gene Summerlin:

"Just wanted to let you know that the girl with the abdominal tumor we saw by the dam has been treated and fully recovered.  The pastor got in touch with Marcel last month and GCA got her to a hospital for surgery.  She is home and doing fine!"

Hallelujah! Thank you to all who prayed for Michelle!
