Activity 2

Haiti relief: samaritan's purse disaster relief experts were on the ground within 24 hours of the powerful earthquake that devastated haiti on january, 12, 2010, launching the biggest emergency response in the organization's history. Our teams immediately began providing medical care and surgeries at a partner mission hospital and bringing clean water, food, blankets, and other relief to tens of thousands of suffering people. Since then, we have established a field office in the country, and our staff has worked around the clock to continue to provide relief to those who lost everything in the disaster. In addition, we quickly mobilized a medical, clean water, and hygiene education response to the cholera epidemic that began in october 2010. By the end of the year, we had built over 10,000 temporary shelters, fed hundreds of thousands of people, and treated more than 40,000 sick and injured haitians. As our staff and volunteers work there, we are focused on being witnesses for the gospel in word and deed, and many haitians have made decisions to follow jesus through our programs.

Activity 3

World medical mission (wmm): "he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (psalm 147:3). Wmm supports missionary hospitals around the world by sending doctors, technicians, medicines, and equipment. Last year was the busiest year ever for this ministry. Our staff coordinated nearly 1,400 short-term mission trips for medical professionals to 38 hospitals and clinics in 34 countries. Our wmm warehouse also shipped 12 million of supplies to mission hospitals in 55 countries. The post-residency program, which offers two-year assignments to young doctors, placed 11 physicians in 2010.
