BHM Serves Alongside "Distinguished Visitors" |

Senator Bill Frist, MD, has been serving at our mission hospital, performing surgeries and helping to provide critical care. We have also started to work with the US military in Haiti to provide critical care to those injured in the earthquake. As an organization based out of MI, we count it a great honor to serve alongside the US military and Senator Frist.
We have been humbled to see how God is using our facilities, staff, and missionaries to create a vast network ministering to even "the least of these."

In this image you can see a Satellite view of our headquarters in Fermathe, just south of Port-au-Prince, as recorded January 15, 2010, three days after the massive earthquake.
As you can tell from the image, most of our buildings are still standing. Several have suffered minor structural damage, and we had a conference center totally destroyed. Many of our partnering churches and schools throughout Haiti have suffered tremendous damage and BHM will be faced with the monumental task of helping them to rebuild.
We believe that God preserved our headquarters, and with that tremendous blessing comes an incredible responsibility. We are using every facility possible to keep relief aid moving ahead to those who need it most.

Serving the Injured Against All Odds |

The Haitian and foreign doctors serving at our mission hospital south of Port-au-Prince have been working against all odds. God is using their hands and feet to work daily miracles for earthquake survivors.
As of yesterday afternoon our medical team had performed 57 surgeries since the earthquake. The doctors explained that every surgery they have completed has been a major surgery, riddled with complications.
In these conditions, there is no such thing as a simple break or fracture. Many patients are suffering from crushed bones, which complicate the surgery and recovery. Though our hospital has two fully operational rooms for surgery, the doctors have struggled and worked around the clock to keep up with the need.
The medical team is also confronted with countless infections in the paitents. Many people have waited to come to the hospital, and as a result the doctors are left with no choice but to amputate the infected area.
We ask for your continued prayers that God will give wisdom, endurance, and skill to our medical team. We rejoice for the visiting doctors and nurses who have provided much needed relief to our Haitian medical staff who are struggling with their own losses as they serve their neighbors.
Be a part of saving lives

Update: All of our missionaries, staff, and volunteers at our headquarters in Fermathe, Haiti are safe after this morning's 6.1 earthquake. Please pray for peace and calm as they and the surrounding community are feeling unnerved by the quake.
