Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it. -erwin lutzer

Looks like he has found his calling--praying for God to bless him with health and strength and all that he needs to continue helping!! It's not the first time he's worked, it sure looks like!
I don't remember where I stumbled across your blog, but I am glad I found it and I am glad to see some good news coming out of Haiti. Thank you for your helping hands there in Haiti. God be with you and all those you come in contact with.
We're praying for all of you!

I check your blog often to get a closer *look* at what is really happening in Haiti.
Thank you for your tireless work, for the pictures, for the updates. Here in the U.S. we are eternally grateful!
God bless,
Sabine
Dang, he surely is the right man for that job! What a sight...
God bless you
Tara, I am so glad that Jen is there with you! Know that we love you! Michele in IN :)
I remember Vivien and Megan were impressed with a person being brought in on a door. Very smart idea.
There was a guy behind me in line at the embassy who had registered the day before, but felt he couldn't leave at that time. He went back out into the streets to help again. He finally had to get back home to his family in the streets.
Love you.
Erin
Having worked 12 years as a critical care transport nurse I am applauding this. Love the Haitian "make it work" spirit.
We are praying for you and your safety as you face the unfaceable. Please know that our family here in South Carolina prays for you everyday and has for 4 years. Thank you for being who you are to the Haitian people.
We love you,
The James Family

Longtime lurker on your blog - thank you for keeping those of us who love Haiti so well-informed in recent days. Please know our thoughts and prayers continue with your work especially at the start of this new week. We know much of the hard work really begins now and pray for all the strength you will need in the coming days.
All over the news are stories of the Haitian people loving and caring for each other. Raising money for those less fortunate - what?? Holding church services. And yesterday they kept saying that at this point in a crisis people are usually angry and violent, but so far that hasn't happened in large numbers in Haiti. People are calm. For such a "dark" country they sure are being quite a light. And people are noticing.
Tara - so glad you still have your sense of humor! Hang on to that, the Lord and Troy! You are doing wonderful!!!
Love you!

Wow! Praying that the people of Haiti will come together to help one another, and come to know the hope that is within us. Blessing to you! Jackie
Lexi and Ben (MCCer in PAP) are set-up a database to help organize the aid.

Troy's tweets page is gone...? Darn. We're still praying hourly for you two. Knowing you're overwhelmed, please take time to restore your soul. Also to communicate with outside world to alert us to the reality. It needs to stay in the forefront of people's minds here in the US.
For example, are you getting the funds sent via your web page? No banks open to exchange money? In Northridge it took days to get the banking system up. Spendable dollars are vital. Anything we can do? How's the diesel fuel? Food?
thank you for helping us focus our prayers as we cry out to Jesus for the people of Haiti. With gratitude for your faithfulness to Jesus and to those he so passionately loves. The Savig Family - Kazakhstan
This is the real story that's not getting reported. Haitians have always help Haitians overcome and in time of need. The "response" that the general media was looking for was always there in front of their eyes. They don't wear uniforms, and they don't have fancy equipment. So they don't look the part. They are the regular guys and gals helping their friends, family and neighbors as best as they can.
Tara,
Hi! I'm Lance Vischer's wife. We have so appreciated the first-hand account of what's going on there via your blog. Thank you and please keep posting about specific ways that we can pray and give. You and your precious family are in our prayers and we have spread the word about your efforts there!
I haven't been by your blog in a while, but I had to come today. You are in my prayers. God Bless all of your efforts and everything you do and may He provide the things that you need.
That is awesome. Praying he has enough energy to continue to help those in need like this!
Thank you for answering the call to do the Lord's work. I pray that you remain strong and focused on Him as you are facing real pain and suffering in the aftermath of these earthquakes.
Know that you are prayed for in the US -and I'm sure in many places around the world.

Troy is tweeting as he can. Today is insane -- we are struggling a bit to fall into a pattern or a rhythm ... just too many needs all at once. Pray that falls into place. The twitter feeds should still be here on the blog or you can go to Twitter.com and look for Troy there.
matt mcmormick/highwaytohaiti.com is working on getting trucks of fuel and cash to the airport for distribution to smaller ops like yours (trying to get around needing escorts/red tape garbage by having people meet them there). they are in forte-liberte and have a supply chain coming from the DR and Miami.

In the midst of this horrible tragedy, it is just weird recognising the warm fuzzies you get when seeing people working together to get through a crisis. Haitians are strong people, they will get through this. Thank you for sharing this with us, we need to know.
Help Haiti, be supportive, if each person gives $ 1 at least not cost us, and our hearts feel will be a lot better since we are far, this is the way to help, we must remember that one day the same could happen to us, we can never say that this never, would also like to be helped in this world we are all brothers, we help the people of Haiti who in desperate call for help.

Hi Troy and Tara,
My name is Sarah and I just found your blog through an article on CNN. This is an answer to prayer for me because I have needed direction on how to personally deal with the tragedy in Haiti ~ reading your words and seeing your pictures helps me process this much better. So thank you ~
Prayers for the pregnant woman and the care that you will be giving here at Heartline. Continuing to pray for you, your family, your coworkers, and the Haitian people.
You're providing a very personal, meaningful look at what is happening in Haiti. I started reading your blog several weeks ago. My family and I choose a different country each year to study, and around Christmas we selected Haiti as our nation to study for 2010. I was enjoying your blog before the earthquake, but have been coming back since then to check on you and your family, and to learn about how your Haitian friends and loved ones are faring. My thoughts are with you in these difficult days.
I hope you don't mind but I linked to your blog from mine in a post today.
The picture made me smile; Troy's tweets today made me cry.
Praying for all of you in ministry at the clinic and for the many patients who you are serving (particularly the pregnant woman he tweeted about). Praying also that you find the supplies and fuel you need for the clinic.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE DOING!!!!
I just want you to know that I continue to pray for you and the lives you touch... for all in Haiti.
Troy and Tara,
Bless you and all the others in Haiti who are doing good work. But maybe you guys should dial it back a notch. Take a minute to recharge. It's OK.
Then go out again, renewed, and raise hell.
Matthew
Tara -- Troy says (via Twitter) that the hospital turned away the patient he brought. Are you anywhere near Milot? Sacre Couer Hospital has more that 200 available beds according to CNN.
You remain in our prayers,
Lou
I don't know if this helps...
From CNN:
6:41 p.m. -- A volunteer at Sacre Coeur Hospital in northern Haiti said the facility has large numbers of open beds, but no easy way to get patients there from Port-au-Prince. "My surgeons are sitting around looking at each other, wondering why they came," Tim Traynor told CNN. The hospital, in Milot, has more than 200 beds but fewer than 30 patients, Traynor said. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has flown some injured people up from Port-au-Prince, "one or two or three or four people at a time." Another volunteer, Carol Fipp, said: "Shout it from the mountaintops: We need helicopters."
God bless,
--Marina
Tara - we adopted Peter from PIHS/FGS five years ago. He was the boy with the sparkling smile and great athletic talent. Peter and I had the privelage of joining John and Beth in their home for dinner on one of my visits. I started following you and Heartline's blogs again about a month ago when I thought I should see what was going on in Haiti.
All that to say, that I am praying fervently for you and Troy, and John and Beth. God bless you all as you continue to help the people of Haiti. Our church hosted a prayer vigil last night and you were all on the top of the list.
God Bles, Ellen
