This was my last morning in Haiti and I was pleasantly surprised that a few of the clinicians and Haitian staff came to visit and give me a sweet send off. I was sad to leave, but knew in my heart I’d return. We made plans for them to carry on mobile medical clinics in my absence and I would help support their efforts with fundraising and getting the NGO, Global Mustard Seed missions up and running. They would continue to arrange mobile medical clinics in the urban and rural areas and as I can work out connections help provide them with medications, materials and volunteers to assist when feasible. I left them with medical books they could use for future clinics which they were so grateful to receive. We walked to a pharmacy that morning to try and get them some meds to carry on. After seeing the prices I reached out o Leslie from the Hope Alive clinic and had some unexpected Blessings that morning as she agreed to provide some medication. The clinicians planned to do the first clinic after I left on March 14, 2012. I was in touch with Pastor Luc who has the 43 churches in the provinces so it was so exciting to be able to make this connection. There is no way this was anything other than the hand of God putting me in all of these places, making all of these connections and keeping me safe through it all. It was such a wonderful gift to have them continue on as I envisioned hope for sustainable efforts but never imagined it would come to fruition so soon. Dreams do come true with hard work and perseverance and of course faith and above all else keeping Christ central as He is still in control. There are many lessons learned on this trip in Haiti, but I think that summarizes the most important ones. The Americares rep, Brian who I’d been working with agreed to follow-up on getting the meds out of customs and he’d already sent someone there to handle it. They would then connect with the clinicians there to provide them the meds so they could continue to render care. I think of the importance of having faith when we cannot see the outcome and it seems hard to envision anything good coming out of trials. But now I see, all along, God had His plans for those medications to be delivered on His time and where He wanted them to be. I am only a vessel here to help as are we all and have to learn to give things to Him and trust in His sovereignty. These plans for the clinics to carry on were so meaningful and such a fabulous way to end my trip in Haiti. Until I can return, I will continue to work hard to fundraise and do what I can to make, what my dad says, my splash a big drop in the ocean. I had been Blessed with so many people to help with the process like the rep from Unitransfer who agreed to continue food deliveries from the warehouse in Haiti. I’m so thankful that things worked out as they did and the dreams I have of mobile clinics are becoming a reality. I ended the trip with picking up some souvenirs the guys helped me negotiate on around the streets of the Walls guesthouse. Bertrand came and picked me up and we headed to the airport. This trip I left with a sense of accomplishment, knowing there is much more work to be done. Check in at the Port au Prince airport went smoothly. Feeling like we all served as Christ’s hands and feet made the load a little lighter and the weight less heavy for the patient’s we touched and who touched our hearts. And that in itself is a reward beyond measure. The strength gleaned from working with such resilient people makes me feel even stronger.
