We arrived just before the helicopter did, but when we arrived, so did LOTS of people. It didn’t take long for us to figure out that we had a problem—everyone that was showing up was very upset! Upset that we were taking care of this man who in their minds is a criminal. We tried to keep everyone back, but more people kept coming. Soon the lady who had her hand cut showed up.
The helicopter personnel soon told us that they couldn’t take the man, for their own safety. We knew that we had to get going, too, for our own safety.
The lady’s hand had a very nasty cut in it…all the fingers had been cut, and one finger was completely cut through the bone and only hanging on by the skin. After seeing Julian and Kindra off to Ti Goave with the patients, we had a time of prayer at the clinic, grateful for God’s protection during a very stressful time.
