We are moving quickly now to intercept and evaluate reporting we discovered in the Obleon - Furcy corridor by multiple locals of roughly ten fatalities each in the communities of Bel Fountaine and Mohotiere Brouette. Infection believed to have been acquired after travel to the Sequin area as opposed to PaP, however we will investigate this further. Brief stop at the Baptist Mission located between Kenscoff and Fermante indicates they've seen 8 patients total, none from these communities, no fatalities with two discharges. No patient surge noted, and the staff had not heard about the abovementioned communities.
We have teamed up with MMRC Global's Paul Sebring and the good folks from Open Hands to get on-site quickly. It is a long off-road drive with possible on-foot hiking into these areas. We have been told by locals there is zero medical support. If true, we expect to see a very bad situation, and one for which we may not be prepared with our recon team. With the multiple days of lockdown we've all experienced thanks to the demonstrations, we believe the disruption in NGO activity has contributed to a bad situation. We hope we are wrong.
I am copying PAHO ARO for their awareness of the possibility we may need immediate assistance for rapid mobilization of a CTC/CTU capability. We estimate we will be able to last 24-48 hrs on-site without support, however there is a great deal of uncertainly what we will truly find. All helo's are grounded last time we checked, so again we hope the situation is not as bad as what the locals claim.
Local pastors reported that between 10 and 15 people have died from Cholera in their congregations, and they are seeking help to prevent more deaths.
We have already assembled basic hygiene supplies and disinfectants to help stem the spread of the disease in the affected districts.
Though international news agencies are reporting that the spread of Cholera is slowing, local pastors indicate that the rural areas where we serve are still under siege, and we are preparing for the worst.
This is the first Cholera outbreak Haiti has experienced in over 100 years, and it has left many health officials scrambling to control the spread of the disease. Basic hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing Cholera, but many impoversiehd communities, especially in the rural areas where we serve, simply don't have dependable access to supplies like bleach and other disinfectants.
We need your help to respond effectively to the Cholera outbreak and prevent needless deaths.
You'll help save lives when you contribute to our Cholera relief fund.

Distributing Food to Hungry Quake Survivors
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:24
BHM has already begun moving into the next stages of relief for the survivors of Haiti's devastating earthquake. For more than 60 years, we've worked to establish strong partnerships with local pastors and leaders throughout the island nation, ensuring that we work with godly, compassionate people who understand the needs of their communities. The pastors understand better than anyone the people in their communities and they are able to distribute food and supplies in an orderly, humane manner.
So when it came time to begin distributing food to rural villages, we wasted no time in getting up and running. Today, we reached out to Bolosse and the surrounding areas of Fermathe, BHM's headquarters.
Pastor Soimeus from the Fermathe church organized the local food distribution. He and several other members of the church gave food to approximately 100 families who went in one by one to receive their bags of food.

Ways YOU Can Help Haiti Earthquake Survivors
Saturday, 16 January 2010 10:27
We are receiving many requests from concerned friends and ministry partners like you asking what they can do to help. Here are a few ways you can be a part of what's happening on the field in Haiti:
To rush your emergency relief to Haiti, you can give online. Relief funds go directly to the field, maximizing the impact of your gift.
Pray for BHM staff who have lost family, friends, and loved ones in the earthquake.
Pray for the ministry of BHM as key staff are numbered among the many lives lost.
Take up a collection at your office, church, and Bible study. Your friends and contacts might not know BHM, but they know you and will help you in your efforts.
Visit www.bhm.org/earthquake for the latest news and updates.
Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/bhmhaiti for up-to-the-minute news.
Spread the word to your friends and family.
Keep email and phone communications open for urgent relief efforts rather than inquiring about specific individuals. Our staff is overwhelmed attending the current need and relief efforts on the ground in Haiti and is unable to respond to all the emails. Please know that we will be communicating on a regular basis.
We are grateful to the many teams and volunteers wanting to come and serve. At this point we cannot receive any more teams due to a shortage of supplies and water. But don't be discouraged. We will soon need you to help rebuild.

Help Haiti's Earthquake Victims
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 08:55
Relief funds go directly to the field in Haiti.
The dust from collapsed buildings is finally starting to settle in the early morning hours, but the earthquake's greatest damage is just beginning. Mothers are searching for their children, children are crying for their parents. And chaos is everywhere.
The Lord is guiding our hand and we are praying for wisdom and strength to respond in the most effective way possible.
The BHM hospital at our headquarters in Fermathe is overflowing with earthquake victims. We are the only hospital serving the surrounding rural mountain villages. Since hospitals have collapsed or suffered major damage, many people are traveling from around the capital to receive help. In the video, you can see the early hours at the Fermathe hospital following the earthquake.
While we are still working to contact all of our rural ministry partners and the local churches scattered throughout the country, we can tell from the damage we see that almost no one will escape untouched by the earthquakes. The amount of emergency relief needed will be unprecedented in Haiti's history.
We need your help. You can donate online today and rush your aid directly to Haiti's earthquake victims. BHM sends the relief funds directly to the field, so you'll maximize your impact in this time of crisis.
As of early this morning, Haiti has suffered more than 30 aftershocks following the major 7.0 earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon around 5 pm.
Many of the aftershocks have registered at over 5.0, with one hitting 5.9, which is in and of itself a strong earthquake.
Buildings continue to suffer structural damage and those which haven't collapsed already are in great danger of collapsing.
Please join us in fervent prayer for Haiti, the missionaries on the field, and our ministry partners who are themselves suffering loss while trying to reach out and serve their neighbors.

With the multiple days of lockdown we've all experienced thanks to the demonstrations, we believe the disruption in NGO activity has contributed to a bad situation. We hope we are wrong.
I am copying PAHO ARO for their awareness of the possibility we may need immediate assistance for rapid mobilization of a CTC/CTU capability. We estimate we will be able to last 24-48 hrs on-site without support, however there is a great deal of uncertainly what we will truly find. All helo's are grounded last time we checked, so again we hope the situation is not as bad as what the locals claim.

Cholera Outbreak Affects Local Churches
The recent Cholera outbreak in Haiti has brought national attention to Port-au-Prince, where more than 3,300 cases have been confirmed. Reports have come in from the rural districts where BHM serves, and cholera has struck several of our partner churches.
Local pastors reported that between 10 and 15 people have died from Cholera in their congregations, and they are seeking help to prevent more deaths.
We have already assembled basic hygiene supplies and disinfectants to help stem the spread of the disease in the affected districts.
Though international news agencies are reporting that the spread of Cholera is slowing, local pastors indicate that the rural areas where we serve are still under siege, and we are preparing for the worst.
This is the first Cholera outbreak Haiti has experienced in over 100 years, and it has left many health officials scrambling to control the spread of the disease. Basic hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing Cholera, but many impoversiehd communities, especially in the rural areas where we serve, simply don't have dependable access to supplies like bleach and other disinfectants.
We need your help to respond effectively to the Cholera outbreak and prevent needless deaths.
You'll help save lives when you contribute to our Cholera relief fund.

Distributing Food to Hungry Quake Survivors
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:24
BHM has already begun moving into the next stages of relief for the survivors of Haiti's devastating earthquake. For more than 60 years, we've worked to establish strong partnerships with local pastors and leaders throughout the island nation, ensuring that we work with godly, compassionate people who understand the needs of their communities. The pastors understand better than anyone the people in their communities and they are able to distribute food and supplies in an orderly, humane manner.
So when it came time to begin distributing food to rural villages, we wasted no time in getting up and running. Today, we reached out to Bolosse and the surrounding areas of Fermathe, BHM's headquarters.
Pastor Soimeus from the Fermathe church organized the local food distribution. He and several other members of the church gave food to approximately 100 families who went in one by one to receive their bags of food.

Ways YOU Can Help Haiti Earthquake Survivors
Saturday, 16 January 2010 10:27
We are receiving many requests from concerned friends and ministry partners like you asking what they can do to help. Here are a few ways you can be a part of what's happening on the field in Haiti:
To rush your emergency relief to Haiti, you can give online. Relief funds go directly to the field, maximizing the impact of your gift.
Pray for BHM staff who have lost family, friends, and loved ones in the earthquake.
Pray for the ministry of BHM as key staff are numbered among the many lives lost.
Take up a collection at your office, church, and Bible study. Your friends and contacts might not know BHM, but they know you and will help you in your efforts.
Visit www.bhm.org/earthquake for the latest news and updates.
Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/bhmhaiti for up-to-the-minute news.
Spread the word to your friends and family.
Keep email and phone communications open for urgent relief efforts rather than inquiring about specific individuals. Our staff is overwhelmed attending the current need and relief efforts on the ground in Haiti and is unable to respond to all the emails. Please know that we will be communicating on a regular basis.
We are grateful to the many teams and volunteers wanting to come and serve. At this point we cannot receive any more teams due to a shortage of supplies and water. But don't be discouraged. We will soon need you to help rebuild.

Help Haiti's Earthquake Victims
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 08:55
Relief funds go directly to the field in Haiti.
The dust from collapsed buildings is finally starting to settle in the early morning hours, but the earthquake's greatest damage is just beginning. Mothers are searching for their children, children are crying for their parents. And chaos is everywhere.
The Lord is guiding our hand and we are praying for wisdom and strength to respond in the most effective way possible.
The BHM hospital at our headquarters in Fermathe is overflowing with earthquake victims. We are the only hospital serving the surrounding rural mountain villages. Since hospitals have collapsed or suffered major damage, many people are traveling from around the capital to receive help. In the video, you can see the early hours at the Fermathe hospital following the earthquake.
While we are still working to contact all of our rural ministry partners and the local churches scattered throughout the country, we can tell from the damage we see that almost no one will escape untouched by the earthquakes. The amount of emergency relief needed will be unprecedented in Haiti's history.
We need your help. You can donate online today and rush your aid directly to Haiti's earthquake victims. BHM sends the relief funds directly to the field, so you'll maximize your impact in this time of crisis.
As of early this morning, Haiti has suffered more than 30 aftershocks following the major 7.0 earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon around 5 pm.
Many of the aftershocks have registered at over 5.0, with one hitting 5.9, which is in and of itself a strong earthquake.
Buildings continue to suffer structural damage and those which haven't collapsed already are in great danger of collapsing.
Please join us in fervent prayer for Haiti, the missionaries on the field, and our ministry partners who are themselves suffering loss while trying to reach out and serve their neighbors.

HEAS RESPONSE TEAM UPDATE 12/11/10:
We are moving quickly now to intercept and evaluate reporting we discovered in the Obleon - Furcy corridor by multiple locals of roughly ten fatalities each in the communities of Bel Fountaine and Mohotiere Brouette. Infection believed to have been acquired after travel to the Sequin area as opposed to PaP, however we will investigate this further. Brief stop at the Baptist Mission located between Kenscoff and Fermante indicates they've seen 8 patients total, none from these communities, no fatalities with two discharges. No patient surge noted, and the staff had not heard about the abovementioned communities.
We have teamed up with MMRC Global's Paul Sebring and the good folks from Open Hands to get on-site quickly. It is a long off-road drive with possible on-foot hiking into these areas.

Infection believed to have been acquired after travel to the Sequin area as opposed to PaP, however we will investigate this further. Brief stop at the Baptist Mission located between Kenscoff and Fermante indicates they've seen 8 patients total, none from these communities, no fatalities with two discharges. No patient surge noted, and the staff had not heard about the abovementioned communities.
We have teamed up with MMRC Global's Paul Sebring and the good folks from Open Hands to get on-site quickly. It is a long off-road drive with possible on-foot hiking into these areas. We have been told by locals there is zero medical support. If true, we expect to see a very bad situation, and one for which we may not be prepared with our recon team. With the multiple days of lockdown we've all experienced thanks to the demonstrations, we believe the disruption in NGO activity has contributed to a bad situation. We hope we are wrong.
I am copying PAHO ARO for their awareness of the possibility we may need immediate assistance for rapid mobilization of a CTC/CTU capability. We estimate we will be able to last 24-48 hrs on-site without support, however there is a great deal of uncertainly what we will truly find. All helo's are grounded last time we checked, so again we hope the situation is not as bad as what the locals claim.
Cheers,
Jim

Cholera Outbreak Affects Local Churches
The recent Cholera outbreak in Haiti has brought national attention to Port-au-Prince, where more than 3,300 cases have been confirmed. Reports have come in from the rural districts where BHM serves, and cholera has struck several of our partner churches.
Local pastors reported that between 10 and 15 people have died from Cholera in their congregations, and they are seeking help to prevent more deaths.
We have already assembled basic hygiene supplies and disinfectants to help stem the spread of the disease in the affected districts.
Though international news agencies are reporting that the spread of Cholera is slowing, local pastors indicate that the rural areas where we serve are still under siege, and we are preparing for the worst.
This is the first Cholera outbreak Haiti has experienced in over 100 years, and it has left many health officials scrambling to control the spread of the disease. Basic hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing Cholera, but many impoversiehd communities, especially in the rural areas where we serve, simply don't have dependable access to supplies like bleach and other disinfectants.
We need your help to respond effectively to the Cholera outbreak and prevent needless deaths.
You'll help save lives when you contribute to our Cholera relief fund.

Distributing Food to Hungry Quake Survivors
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:24
BHM has already begun moving into the next stages of relief for the survivors of Haiti's devastating earthquake. For more than 60 years, we've worked to establish strong partnerships with local pastors and leaders throughout the island nation, ensuring that we work with godly, compassionate people who understand the needs of their communities. The pastors understand better than anyone the people in their communities and they are able to distribute food and supplies in an orderly, humane manner.
So when it came time to begin distributing food to rural villages, we wasted no time in getting up and running. Today, we reached out to Bolosse and the surrounding areas of Fermathe, BHM's headquarters.
Pastor Soimeus from the Fermathe church organized the local food distribution. He and several other members of the church gave food to approximately 100 families who went in one by one to receive their bags of food.

Ways YOU Can Help Haiti Earthquake Survivors
Saturday, 16 January 2010 10:27
We are receiving many requests from concerned friends and ministry partners like you asking what they can do to help. Here are a few ways you can be a part of what's happening on the field in Haiti:
To rush your emergency relief to Haiti, you can give online. Relief funds go directly to the field, maximizing the impact of your gift.
Pray for BHM staff who have lost family, friends, and loved ones in the earthquake.
Pray for the ministry of BHM as key staff are numbered among the many lives lost.
Take up a collection at your office, church, and Bible study. Your friends and contacts might not know BHM, but they know you and will help you in your efforts.
Visit www.bhm.org/earthquake for the latest news and updates.
Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/bhmhaiti for up-to-the-minute news.
Spread the word to your friends and family.
Keep email and phone communications open for urgent relief efforts rather than inquiring about specific individuals. Our staff is overwhelmed attending the current need and relief efforts on the ground in Haiti and is unable to respond to all the emails. Please know that we will be communicating on a regular basis.
We are grateful to the many teams and volunteers wanting to come and serve. At this point we cannot receive any more teams due to a shortage of supplies and water. But don't be discouraged. We will soon need you to help rebuild.

Help Haiti's Earthquake Victims
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 08:55
Relief funds go directly to the field in Haiti.
The dust from collapsed buildings is finally starting to settle in the early morning hours, but the earthquake's greatest damage is just beginning. Mothers are searching for their children, children are crying for their parents. And chaos is everywhere.
The Lord is guiding our hand and we are praying for wisdom and strength to respond in the most effective way possible.
The BHM hospital at our headquarters in Fermathe is overflowing with earthquake victims. We are the only hospital serving the surrounding rural mountain villages. Since hospitals have collapsed or suffered major damage, many people are traveling from around the capital to receive help. In the video, you can see the early hours at the Fermathe hospital following the earthquake.
While we are still working to contact all of our rural ministry partners and the local churches scattered throughout the country, we can tell from the damage we see that almost no one will escape untouched by the earthquakes. The amount of emergency relief needed will be unprecedented in Haiti's history.
We need your help. You can donate online today and rush your aid directly to Haiti's earthquake victims. BHM sends the relief funds directly to the field, so you'll maximize your impact in this time of crisis.
As of early this morning, Haiti has suffered more than 30 aftershocks following the major 7.0 earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon around 5 pm.
Many of the aftershocks have registered at over 5.0, with one hitting 5.9, which is in and of itself a strong earthquake.
Buildings continue to suffer structural damage and those which haven't collapsed already are in great danger of collapsing.
Please join us in fervent prayer for Haiti, the missionaries on the field, and our ministry partners who are themselves suffering loss while trying to reach out and serve their neighbors.

Cholera Outbreak Affects Local Churches
The recent Cholera outbreak in Haiti has brought national attention to Port-au-Prince, where more than 3,300 cases have been confirmed. Reports have come in from the rural districts where BHM serves, and cholera has struck several of our partner churches.
Local pastors reported that between 10 and 15 people have died from Cholera in their congregations, and they are seeking help to prevent more deaths.
We have already assembled basic hygiene supplies and disinfectants to help stem the spread of the disease in the affected districts.
Though international news agencies are reporting that the spread of Cholera is slowing, local pastors indicate that the rural areas where we serve are still under siege, and we are preparing for the worst.
This is the first Cholera outbreak Haiti has experienced in over 100 years, and it has left many health officials scrambling to control the spread of the disease. Basic hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing Cholera, but many impoversiehd communities, especially in the rural areas where we serve, simply don't have dependable access to supplies like bleach and other disinfectants.
We need your help to respond effectively to the Cholera outbreak and prevent needless deaths.
You'll help save lives when you contribute to our Cholera relief fund.

Distributing Food to Hungry Quake Survivors
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:24
BHM has already begun moving into the next stages of relief for the survivors of Haiti's devastating earthquake. For more than 60 years, we've worked to establish strong partnerships with local pastors and leaders throughout the island nation, ensuring that we work with godly, compassionate people who understand the needs of their communities. The pastors understand better than anyone the people in their communities and they are able to distribute food and supplies in an orderly, humane manner.
So when it came time to begin distributing food to rural villages, we wasted no time in getting up and running. Today, we reached out to Bolosse and the surrounding areas of Fermathe, BHM's headquarters.
Pastor Soimeus from the Fermathe church organized the local food distribution. He and several other members of the church gave food to approximately 100 families who went in one by one to receive their bags of food.

Help Haiti's Earthquake Victims
Wednesday, 13 January 2010 08:55
Relief funds go directly to the field in Haiti.
The dust from collapsed buildings is finally starting to settle in the early morning hours, but the earthquake's greatest damage is just beginning. Mothers are searching for their children, children are crying for their parents. And chaos is everywhere.
The Lord is guiding our hand and we are praying for wisdom and strength to respond in the most effective way possible.
The BHM hospital at our headquarters in Fermathe is overflowing with earthquake victims. We are the only hospital serving the surrounding rural mountain villages. Since hospitals have collapsed or suffered major damage, many people are traveling from around the capital to receive help. In the video, you can see the early hours at the Fermathe hospital following the earthquake.
While we are still working to contact all of our rural ministry partners and the local churches scattered throughout the country, we can tell from the damage we see that almost no one will escape untouched by the earthquakes. The amount of emergency relief needed will be unprecedented in Haiti's history.
We need your help. You can donate online today and rush your aid directly to Haiti's earthquake victims. BHM sends the relief funds directly to the field, so you'll maximize your impact in this time of crisis.
As of early this morning, Haiti has suffered more than 30 aftershocks following the major 7.0 earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon around 5 pm.
Many of the aftershocks have registered at over 5.0, with one hitting 5.9, which is in and of itself a strong earthquake.
Buildings continue to suffer structural damage and those which haven't collapsed already are in great danger of collapsing.
Please join us in fervent prayer for Haiti, the missionaries on the field, and our ministry partners who are themselves suffering loss while trying to reach out and serve their neighbors.

Distributing Food to Hungry Quake Survivors
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:24
BHM has already begun moving into the next stages of relief for the survivors of Haiti's devastating earthquake. For more than 60 years, we've worked to establish strong partnerships with local pastors and leaders throughout the island nation, ensuring that we work with godly, compassionate people who understand the needs of their communities. The pastors understand better than anyone the people in their communities and they are able to distribute food and supplies in an orderly, humane manner.
So when it came time to begin distributing food to rural villages, we wasted no time in getting up and running. Today, we reached out to Bolosse and the surrounding areas of Fermathe, BHM's headquarters.
Pastor Soimeus from the Fermathe church organized the local food distribution. He and several other members of the church gave food to approximately 100 families who went in one by one to receive their bags of food.

Relief funds go directly to the field in Haiti.
The dust from collapsed buildings is finally starting to settle in the early morning hours, but the earthquake's greatest damage is just beginning. Mothers are searching for their children, children are crying for their parents. And chaos is everywhere.
The Lord is guiding our hand and we are praying for wisdom and strength to respond in the most effective way possible.
The BHM hospital at our headquarters in Fermathe is overflowing with earthquake victims. We are the only hospital serving the surrounding rural mountain villages. Since hospitals have collapsed or suffered major damage, many people are traveling from around the capital to receive help. In the video, you can see the early hours at the Fermathe hospital following the earthquake.
While we are still working to contact all of our rural ministry partners and the local churches scattered throughout the country, we can tell from the damage we see that almost no one will escape untouched by the earthquakes. The amount of emergency relief needed will be unprecedented in Haiti's history.
We need your help. You can donate online today and rush your aid directly to Haiti's earthquake victims. BHM sends the relief funds directly to the field, so you'll maximize your impact in this time of crisis.
As of early this morning, Haiti has suffered more than 30 aftershocks following the major 7.0 earthquake that struck yesterday afternoon around 5 pm.
Many of the aftershocks have registered at over 5.0, with one hitting 5.9, which is in and of itself a strong earthquake.
Buildings continue to suffer structural damage and those which haven't collapsed already are in great danger of collapsing.
Please join us in fervent prayer for Haiti, the missionaries on the field, and our ministry partners who are themselves suffering loss while trying to reach out and serve their neighbors.
