Local doctors, nurses form team to heal, minister to earthquake victims
McALISTERVILLE — When Lori King first heard about the earthquake in Haiti, she knew she had to do something. The Juniata County woman said she felt God’s call to go and minister with her nursing skills. The only problem was figuring out how to get there and who could go with her. While listening to WGRC, a local Christian radio station, King said she heard an appeal from Dwight Rine for medical professionals to join God’s Missionary Church to provide help in Haiti. Once she had the OK to go, King began calling dozens of her medical friends to ask if they would join her. Through God’s will, everything came together, and a team of seven worked at the God’s Missionary Church clinic in Port au Prince from Feb. 19 to March. The Rev. John Gehman, pastor of Lauver’s Mennonite Church near Evendale, said the most of the people in their group did not know each other before the trip. Like King, felt called to use their skills in Haiti but had not found a team to travel with.
