Mission Workers Found Alive in Ruins of Haitian Hotel

12:30 a.m. January 15, 2010

We thank God for answered prayers!

Reports from Haiti indicated that three staff members of the General 
Board of Global Ministries have been found and are alive after 55 
hours in the rubble of the Hotel Montana in Haiti. Sam Dixon, head of 
the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), Clint Rabb, leader 
of the mission volunteer office, and James Gulley, an UMCOR 
consultant were among a group of persons found on the evening of 
January 14. They were in Haiti to extend health ministries when the 
earthquake struck on January 12.

We understand that Dixon and Rabb both sustained injuries and were 
being taken at midnight to the hospital.

We thank all who joined with us in prayer. Further bulletins will be 
issued as information become available.

The people of Haiti continue to suffer in the wake of the strong 
earthquake. The work of relief and rehabilitation will take many 
months. Please join us in that effort.
