Gene Stallings spoke to us this morning about an opportunity to help with a medical mission in Haiti.  Dr. David and Laurie Vanderpool have made 30 trips to Haiti since the earthquakes, taking food and medical services. 
Gene told us that these people are the poorest of the poor.  They have nothing.  He told of a mother who was feeding her baby mud, because she had no food.   
David and Laurie have bought 65 acres of land with plans of building an orphanage, school, hospital and other buildings.  Gene and Ruth Ann are taking on the responsibility of building the hospital and would like our help.  The elders have set aside Sunday, December 2nd, as the day for a special contribution for this work. 
If you have any further questions or would like to help in other ways, please talk with Gene about this.
