Mark Mollenkof is a registered nurse with a master's degree in public health and a member of New City Fellowship will be leaving for Haiti next weekend February 6/7 to work for a week to 10 days. He will be joining a medical team sponsored by Mission to the World our denomination's mission board. MTW sent an assessment team last week to assess the situation and find a suitable area for teams to work in. The first medical team will leave this Saturday Feb. 29th. The teams will be staying in a school compound in a suburb of Port-Au-Prince and working in Dikini Victim's Camp, a large tent camp set up for survivors who have lost their homes. The school compound is occupied by several aid agencies and a contingent of U.S. soldiers. There is limited electricity and water at the school. Mark is asking for prayer from all who read this. While he has had experience living and working in some difficult situations he is sure that nothing will compare to the devastation and suffering he is going to encounter in Haiti. He asks that you pray that God will give him faith, courage and compassion. Pray that the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will burst forth through the heavy darkness and oppression that has hung over Haiti for many decades. The cost for the trip is approximately $1500. If you would like to give toward this expense you can send your donation to:
New City Fellowship
2412 Fourth Street
Chattanooga, TN 37404
Please designate the gift for "Haiti - Mark Mollenkof". If more money is sent in than is needed for Mark's expenses it will be used for future relief efforts of the Hope for Haiti committee operating as the relief effort of sveral churches in the Tennessee Valley Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America."
