News and Observer article(s) Watch video Team 1 Watch video Team 3 Haiti Update- July 26, 2010- NCBM Medical teams are serving in Haiti constructing temporary shelters and providing medical care in out-patient clinics. Our first team arrived on January 15 by flying first to Santo Domingo, then taking a bus into Haiti. They began their work on Jan. 15 by assisting the burn clinic. They were able to support the hospital staff of Petionville Community Hospital, a 50 bed hospital seeing approximately 250 patients each day. Feeding volunteers assisted in preparing and serving approximately 20,000 meals at Petionville Community Hospital. As of today, over 330 volunteers have served in Haiti since the earthquake. Volunteers and Haitian staff have completed over 260 temporary shelters and have seen over 27,000 in medical clinics.

Please pray for the teams as they provide assistance for the medical and other needs.
NCBM sees this as a long-term ministry. Currently, we are sending construction and medical teams. If you are interested in going please click on the "volunteer now" tab below. We are currently recruiting construction teams as well as medical teams. For more information on these opportunities click on this link.
One of the biggest needs is for money for building materials. For $2,300 you can provide funds to build a house for a family. For approximately $12,000 you can provide funds to build a small church.
Scott and Janet Daughtry arrived in Haiti on February 2 and have served several months as the long term coordinators. In addition, Jerry and Betty Oliver and Curtis and Joyce Thrift will rotate in and out of Haiti to give the Daughtry's some time for rest.
