Our hospital and clinic have been overflowing since the 7.0 earthquake hit on Jan. 12.

We are giving thanks that 3 planes arrived yesterday carrying doctors, medical staff, and emergency supplies for our mission hospital and ongoing relief efforts.

The doctors and supplies have been provided by Samaritan's Purse and HCJB global. We are grateful to them and their supporters for providing such a swift response in this time of need.

Food and other relief supplies are being stored securely in the capital, closer to the those who will need them most.

The doctors and medical supplies arrived at our hospital in Fermathe yesterday afternoon. They unloaded the trucks and immediately set to work, joining our exhausted doctors and staff who had been attending earthquake survivors since Tuesday.

Many lives are being saved through the efforts of these dedicated men and women, and we ask you to continue to lift them up in prayers. Pray that the Master Healer will give them strength and guide their hands.
