Saturday at Lifeline

Today was another exciting adventurous day here in Haiti. This morning a man came to us and said his wife was having a baby and we needed help. We brought her to the clinic and examined her. We ran an ultrasound and the baby had a steady heartbeat. She said her water had broken the day before but she wasn’t even dilated so we knew it wasn’t time for the baby. We told her to go back home but let us know if something changes. We then went to hand out love bundles at an orphanage in Barbancourt. We had so much fun singing the song Father Abraham with the kids.
While we were there, we found a woman who was lying on the ground with immense abdominal pain. We weren’t sure what was wrong with her so we took her the hospital in Saint Marc. It was at the hospital that we discovered she had gotten an abortion and her pain was a result of that.
They were able to help her out and she is now doing fine. Later on this evening someone sent word to us that the pregnant woman was in need of medical attention once again. She was examined and the baby was slowly moving into the birth canal. We drove her to the hospital were the doctor told us she was now dilated four centimeters and she would probably deliver tomorrow morning. We left praying she had a safe delivery.
We also had a great time with the team at the cross. God was really moving and we were all blessed by his presence. We were all struck with God’s faithfulness and his grace. Praise the Lord for his abounding love and mercy!!
