Grace and Peace Missionary Fellowship - Bill and Karen Rumple

Recent e-mails from Karen Rumple, our supported missionary in Dominican Republic, indicate that she is actively involved in aiding Haitian earthquake refugees who have come to the local Barahona hospital.  Grace and Peace Missionary Fellowship is within 4 to 5 hours of Port-au-Prince.  Through Grace and Peace, funds for providing clean water, medicines, and other desperately needed supplies have been provided to the hospital and refugee care centers in the area. 

In April, Pastor Ron will be leading a team from New Life Baptist Church to the Dominican Republic to work with Karen and Bill Rumple at the Grace and Peace Missionary Fellowship center in Barahona.  Plans were to run a vacation Bible school, do street evangelism and work with the widow program but in light of the disaster in Haiti, this may change.  Keep Pastor Ron and the team in prayer as they follow God's direction for ministry in the Dominican Republic. To get involved with this trip in ANY way, contact Pastor Ron at New Life Baptist Church, 724-946-2816, Ext 211.

Karen Rumple e-mailed the story of an elderly Haitian women who lives in the D.R. and traveled to Barahona hospital visit her countrymen.  Here are Karen's words:

"She came a long way to visit her people in the hospital here in town. Of course they never knew each other before the quake, but nonetheless she came to pray for them and cheer them up. She walked into the room and began to give out candy. She came to me...I wasn't expecting her to do anything except greet me, but instead she took out TWO pieces of candy and handed them to me. I told her I wouldn't forget her face because she didn't give me one piece of candy, she gave me two. She just giggled, smiled long enough for someone to snap our picture, then went back trying to bring a smile to the closest injured Haitian."

Please pray for these poor Dominican people as they give what little they have to aid their brothers and sisters from Haiti.

INDEPENDENT GOSPEL MISSION

Updates on New Life Baptist Church supported pastors in Haiti from Brian Hampton, Haiti Field Coordinator for Independent Gospel Missions.

Lucien Gustinvil - He, Estelle and their daughter are fine.  Their courtyard wall fell down, but the house they just built was unharmed.

Metedieu Lucien -  He is doing well, but his church is down.  The roof completely collapsed. Hamptons delivered the money his supporters had already donated.

Jerome Mombien -   Sadly, they lost their eldest son, Josue, in the collapse of the University Royale of Port-au-Prince. In addition, their home, church and school were destroyed. They are living at a new place near the airport and far from the epicenter of the earthquake. Hamptons were able to bring them some much needed rice, financial help, and some clean drinking water for the family.

Jacsene Orelus - He and immediate family are alive and well.  However, a  family member of Marie's was killed and another died later from injuries.  His church/school building rolled and waved, with him watching close by, but it remained standing and sustained some cracks in the foundation. Children and teachers got out safely. 

Please pray specifically for our above supported Haitian pastors, their families, churches and the orphans they care for.

BAPTIST HAITI MISSION

Below is updated information and photos from Baptist Haiti Mission. A portion of the donations collected at New Life Baptist Church has aided this hospital in the care of Haitian earthquake victims.   

New patients continue to arrive. Yesterday we were able to receive about 15 more patients. 8 were flown up thanks to the military helicopters and 5 were local patients. We are so thankful for the willingness of the military to help transport patients.

We had planned that the helicopter would land in a soccer field of one of our local schools. They accidentally landed in a cabbage field, which is much closer to the mission and it is all smoothed paved road to arrive at the hospital. The lady who owns the field has allowed us to continue to use her field. We are so blessed to have such caring people in our community who are willing to give up their cabbage field for us to use as a helicopter landing place.
God is so Good!

Any truck can become an "ambulance" to transport patients.

SAMARITAN'S PURSE (at Baptist Haiti Mission)

The following pictures show our dedicated national staff working along side of some of the volunteering doctors from Samaritan's Purse. It truly is amazing how a group of doctors who don't really know each other can work together so well. There is great cooperation among the staff which is such a blessing.

INDEPENDENT GOSPEL MISSION

Funds were sent directly to IGM for Brian Hampton, Field Coordinator of Haiti, to personally carry into Haiti.  These funds will assist the four national pastors that New Life Baptist Church helps to support.

Pastor Gustinvil, Pastor Lucien, Pastor Mombien, and Pastor Orleus.

SAMARITAN'S PURSE (at Baptist Haiti Mission)

Pictures below are from Baptist Haiti Mission, whose hospital is secured by Samaritan's Purse.  A portion of the funds given by our church family is helping this project.

In these photos, you'll see 2-year-old Celestin who had a broken leg from the earthquake. Her family is so thankful that she was able to get medical care and have her leg put in a cast so it can heal.

Celestin is just one of hundreds of earthquake survivors who have received treatment from this mission hospital in the mountains above Port-au-Prince.

Hospital patients continue to spill into the hallways as they have nowhere else to go.  Medical staff and visiting doctors are working around the clock to attend to the wounded and injured.
