Sept. 11 2012 TapTap Accident

...For when I am weak, then am I strong.  2Cor._12:10b This little phrase out of Corithians took on a new meaning for me last night as its events unfolded.
 Tuesday September 11, 2012 started as any other day here in town. we went about our normal duties, and the day went smoothly. Actually maybe even a bit better then normal. It came supper time, and we sat down to eat with the satisfaction of a day gone well.
 Supper finished we sat and talked a little, and someone said hey why not watch a movie tonight. Ok sounds good! We set up, and started the film. Right as we sat down one of the girls said, I feel we are to be doing something tonight, but I don`t know what. Another said I have this same feeling. (A woman's intuition!!!)  Two minutes later, Tiboutson ran in the door and said there is a bad accident just down town and they need vehicles to pick up the injured, ASAP!!!! Off we went, the IFM staff team, with all three vehicles.
 They sorted the living from the wreckage, of sacks of carrots, and mutilated bodys, and took them to the small hospital in our town where they checked each individual to assess who needed the fastest attention. Then we started loading them in vehicles for transport to Port au Prince. First our ambulance, second the F450, third the F150, which is the one I was driving. After that I`m not sure what they did, but a group of ambulances from port came to transport anymore that needed attention.
 We got home at 12:30 this morning a weary bunch of wanna be EMT`s!!! LOL!!!
It was just amazing the peace and calm God put around us, as we worked with the gruesome state of some of the people, in the midst of the mourning and wailing, of family and friends of the deceased.
  The most amazing thing of all was, the ambulance, do to lack of planning, was not full of fuel. The driver, Tiboutson, did not have any money on him when we left in such a hurry. So he just went on faith it would get him there. As he was pulling in the drive way when he got home last night, it started sputtering. This morning when we went to move it, it would not start. It was out fuel. Who better to plan a tank of fuel than our God!!!!

This is how the truck landed. What you see is the carrots and a few potatoes.

Towns people contemplating what happened here last night.

Please pray with us for the families that are grieving the loss of loved ones. Also for the injured for a healing touch from God!!!
