Medical Mission International Walk/run to benefit the Dorcas Center Orphanage Building Fund in Mali
Saturday, Sept. 18 10am-4pm
Start and finish DEC upper parking lot
A benefactor will donate $5000 to continue the building of MMI’s Dorcas Center, a rescue center for the orphaned and abandoned children of Senou living in very difficult circumstances. The requirement is to have enough people walk or run on Sept 18 for a total distance of 1000K. It will take over 100 people to reach this goal, so every individual distance, regardless of speed, counts. You can sign up in advance at the Info Center or just come!
There will be maps of the route available. Bicycle assistants will provide water along the route and check on the participants. Snacks and water will be available at the finish. You may just show up but it would be helpful if you would sign up at the information booth downstairs. Come join us and pray during your walk/run for the upcoming medical/construction team leaving for Mali – January 13th 2011. FMI: globaloutreach@durhame.org

Haiti update 2/4/10 from Jeremiah Cady
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
After 39 hours of travel Jenn Froning and I made it home. What a sweet homecoming to see my beautiful wife and my amazing children. I could not get the sad truth out of my mind that many people I met the last 10 days had children, husbands, wives, and parents killed in the earthquake. Talk about a gratitude check.
Overall the trip went well, we saw and experienced many things that I will never forget and will probably share with only a few people as they are emotionally overwhelming. What a desperate place Haiti is. They need food, water, sanitation, housing, and most of all to be shown Gods love by letting them know we have not forgotten them.
I am sure that this will not be my last trip to Haiti as God has placed a burden on my heart for Haiti and the people who suffer there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who participated in this trip by praying for us and taking such good care of my family while I was gone. (Anne may have made out better while I was gone than when I am home.)
Please continue to pray for John as he stayed behind to do a few more things before heading home. As I write this he is at the bus station starting his long journey home. I am very excited to see how God will work through our church in the future to bless the poor in Haiti, and I am so honored just to be a part of that.

Haiti update 2/1/10
Monday, February 1st, 2010
Today we’ve heard stories from our team of the sounds of Haiti, the unending cacophony of voices and animals throughout the day and night. And we praise God for peaceful moments for our team in His presence.
We’ve heard reports of the taste of Port au Prince, the food distributions that are never enough to feed the starving desparate throngs. And we praise God for the delicious, satisfaction our team enjoyed eating the chicken that kept them awake most of the night.
And we heard descriptions of the rubble of 50% of the buildings in Carrefour, of the remaining buildings 30% of which need to be torn down, and of the smoke, dust, and stench that hover over it all. And we praise God for strengthening our team to see through the morass of confusion to reach out to the people of Haiti.
Please pray for Jeremiah and Jenn as they travel by bus to Santo Domingo, DR on Tuesday and by plane home on Wednesday. Pray for John as he continues to serve on many fronts in Port au Prince. And pray for the safety of a PID medical team traveling down to Haiti tonight and tomorrow.
