We are proceeding with a medical team to Haiti, scheduled to depart Florida for Port-au-Prince on Friday. We currently have enough team members for this group, and should have adequate supplies for this team from local supporters of team members.
The needs in Haiti were huge even before this disaster, and are even worse now, so we may still have need of your services and/or supplies.
If you have general medical supplies, especially things useful in immediate care of injuries and infections, those can be sent to Bob Honegger in Bluffton for shipping to Haiti. His email is rahonneger@gmail.com.
Mailing address is:
Bob Honegger

Ossian, IN 46777.
Darrell Widmer, from Ohio, may be coordinating a second medical team in the near future. I am forwarding your message along to him so he can contact you if needed. His email is dlwidmermd@rfpractice.com. We will also keep your contact information to build a database of individuals who might be interested in future opportunities in Haiti.
Thank you very much for responding. I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of support that we've received. Please pray for the ongoing relief efforts, and more importantly, for the people of Haiti.
Blessing to each of you,
Keith Knepp

Subject: Needs for Haiti
Lord willing we will be shipping a container of food and medical supplies on Friday. We are working with CAM to get the load to the Dominican and then it will be trucked to the border. CAM will have a truck there to haul the container to their PAP warehouse. The plan at that point is to have Dr. Morquette make arrangements to have the items taken to the new Kings Hospital. This is going to take a lot of prayers and our Great God certainly can make it happen. We are still not sure when we can get a container to Cayes, but we are thinking in 2-3 weeks we can get another container on its way there.
The most urgent need
Food and medical supplies are the most urgent need. Sorting of the clothes and shoes into groups of boys, girls, men and women's would be very helpful. The bedding should be for a warm climate.
We have enough items to fill the container going out on Friday and so there is not an urgent need to get things to Bluffton. I would say if everything is here by the 1st week of February that would be great.
Cheryl Herrmann is coordinating the collection of medical supplies in Illinois and they will be taken to the Goodfield Distribution center. One thing that would be very helpful is to have all boxes labeled with what the contents are. Also to have like items in a box so the distribution in Haiti can be made easier.
In His Love,
Bob Honegger
