The man was brought to the FAME Partner hospital with a serious machete wound across his face and his head and his life was in danger. FAME partner doctors examined him closely, looked at all of their options, but came to realize that because of the supply issues in Haiti they did not have the antibiotic or other medicines they needed to treat this man and he probably would not make it.
Ro Ro Eustache of Haitian Christian Outreach (HCO), who oversees the hospital, arrived that evening just in time to hear the story of this man whose life was in danger. He gathered the hospital staff to pray since the only obvious option was a miracle from the Great Physician to be able to treat this man with his machete wound.
At the same time, the security guards at the gate to the hospital compound were very frustrated with a truck driver who was continuing to honk at the gate requesting to be allowed to pull his delivery truck into the compound to have a secure place to stay for the night. The men kept telling him that they could not allow him to come into the compound just because he was seeking a secure place to sleep in his truck. The truck driver continued to honk and disrupt the prayer meeting they were having for the life or death situation of the man with the machete wound. Finally, after the honking continued, Ro Ro went to the gate to ask the security guards what was the problem. They explained the situation and Ro Ro decided to step outside the gate and ask the man how he could help. He explained he had a delivery to take North many miles and he would not be able to drive safely that night and was requesting a place to park his truck so that he could sleep safely until morning.
Ro Ro was intrigued and inquired what the man was delivering and found it was medicines to the government hospital. Ro Ro invited him to pull his truck into the compound and asked him for permission to contact the hospital to be able to find out what type of medicines they had inside the truck.
They called the hospital, finding out that the exact antibiotic, IV fluids, and supplies that they needed were on the truck. The hospital agreed and they immediately treated the man with the machete wound and his life was saved!
Amazing, that the very answer to the prayer was an interruption to the prayer meeting!
This FAME partner relies heavily on medical shipments and supplies that you have helped provide for many many years. But they also rely on the prayers of God‘s people!
