Phantom pain hangs on. It is so interesting that God has designed such an intricate network of the nervous system that until now, doctors haven't found a cure for phantom pain. Prayer, change positions, heat pads, diversion (playing games), anything that can divert attention from the pain. Right now, it is spending time with a long time friend from NY who flew in yesterday to visit. Patrick was his mentor/teacher for many years in Haiti.
It took this visit for him to believe that we really are ok. Many haitians here in the states had first heard that Patrick had died in the quake and I was critically injured. He was prepared to cry at our "pitiful" condition, but had no reason to cry, he found us the friends he knew, only missing a couple limbs.
Pray for the new young Christians to grow in the Lord, and learn to be warriors on the spiritual battlefront.
Pray for Patrick as he preaches tomorrow.

May God bless you. We pray for you.

Barb and Patrick-
Praise God for your testimonies and your strong faith to see beyond the recent events. I have been following your progress daily through posts and your blog. I keep you both in prayer for your needs as well as the people in Haiti. It is truly a miracle how God has perserved you through all of this. I see you being even greater witnesses of God's Love as you minister to people here and to the people of Haiti.
They will see that you went through the same hardships they did caused by the earthquake, but you came out with even a stronger faith in the Lord. They will see that they need this Jesus that you share with them.
Praise God for the Harvest that will come from all of this!
We love you and keep you lifted up in prayer. I pass your updates on to 52 other Christians, some who also, like myself, attended Church of the Cross with you.
God bless you mightly,
Tami Higgins
