Rudolph's Story

This is a true story of an amazing Haitian boy whose life story touched us all. Rudolph or "Rudy" as he is known is a 17-year old who survived the earthquake in Haiti last year. His crushed body was buried in debris next to his sibling who had died. His mother lost her legs in the earthquake as well. Fortunately, he was dug out alive, but in serious condition. The local hospital refused to treat him and he had to be driven in the back of a truck, 9 hours, to Good Sam Hospital accompanied by Danny, a young doctor from Good Sam. Rudy was bleeding profusely from his liver and he also had some fractures. By God's grace he survived and is now going to school here, thanks to the hospital which has sponsored his visa here. Not only that, he came to Christ after his ordeal and is now helping our team as a translator. He wants to help others just as he was helped by Danny, and aspires to be a doctor later on. His determination and strength in the face of adversity, his coming to Christ and his willingness to serve others is a witness to God's grace at work. What a privilege it is for us to experience this firsthand!
