MARCH
Also CMDA through Global Health Outreach had planned a trip months ago to Haiti that is leaving in March. Because of the scope of this disaster, and the long term nature of the needed assistance - this trip is needed more than ever and couldn't be more timely. They are still looking for more doctors and medical personnel to be part of the team.

MISSION UPDATE!!
Our doctors who traveled with First Baptist Church, Woodstock have returned from Port-au-Prince Haiti and Jameni. Drs. Alexandra Solano, GB. Espy and Mark Huffman joined the FBC Woodstock team to bring aide and medical support to the Haitians suffering from the earthquake. Below is a story from the team:
"A young lady came to the hospital- her husband was crushed in Port-au-Prince and her 6 week old baby was buried in the rubble- she dug though the rubble with her hands and eventually found her baby alive. The baby had a broken leg and with 20 Haitian dollars, she walked for 3 days to find medical treatment. She made it to the Good Samaritan hospital here in Jameni where the doctors set the baby’s leg. Milton Perry from Ellijay on our team was able to lead her to Christ while she was here."
