Mission Emanuel
A new team of 12 men from Winston-Salem, NC arrived Sunday. We packed up and left for Jimani @ 4 am Monday, Feb 1, 2010. We arrived to a totally different scene – no more crisis mode, but maintenance and aftercare mode which will go on indefinitely with all the amputees. A Navy HC53 helicopter replaced the the two Army Blackhawks and is literally twice the size. We were instructed to hide behind cover and park our vehicles far away so when this thing lands and especially takes off it can hurl rocks the size of softballs at you. What an awesome experience – it was loud and like a dust storm.
The man in the picture, Luke, was complimenting the nurse thankful for the care he was receiving.

Child Sponsorship Program
The Sponsorship Program is a way to build a relationship that will last through the most important years of a child's life. For $30 per month a child can receive medical attention and an education, but it means so much more. It is a chance to extend your family. Through letters and trips to the community, you can share the little joys in life and see the world through their eyes.
It is also an opportunity to be as Christ instructed, by serving the least among us. What is difficult to describe is that the joyful smiles of these children, experienced in the communion of friends, becomes tangible evidence of God's care and grace for all of us. Visit our children that are in need of sponsorship.
