DECEMBER 2001

Dear friends and family,

We hope you have had a wonderful holiday season. We were blessed to have all of the Quartemont family together for the first time in 20 years. It was a precious time of reunion and healing. God really cares about families and has answered many of our prayers. Don't give up on your family if there have been problems. Keep praying; God is bigger than all of them.

Drs. Haywood Robinson and Noreen Johnson (presently on the board of M.M.I.) have found favor in the countries of Tobago & Trinidad. I am traveling to Tobago January 3rd to meet with government officials who are interested in giving land for a mission clinic. Pray that God will use this time to influence the people and establish His desire in these countries.

Presently our February trip to Nigeria is on hold. As many of you know, we have been trying to get a 40-foot container of medical supplies sent to Nigeria for more than 2 years. Please pray that God will do something supernatural to ship the container this month. The shipment is time- sensitive due to a grant that we have pending through Blessings International. This grant will help offset the major expense of shipping. Another reason for expedience is the fact that dated medicines are being shipped.

The hospital and bible college continue to do well. There is a village outreach planned for February where there will be a week of medical clinics, nightly crusades, and the planting of a new church with the new converts. Please pray that God would move mightily and give strength to the staff and students as they minister in these outreaches.

We also have a mission trip planned to Matehuala, Mexico, during the month of May. Pastor Simon Reyes has planted 30 churches in this area. We will be doing clinics and evangelism with a group of college students primarily from our local church. If you are interested in joining us on this trip, let us know by March so that we can get information to you. We will also be planning a trip to Nigeria in late July for one month. We will be working mainly in the mission hospital, but many other ministry possibilities are available. Let us know if you or someone you know has interest in joining us on this trip. The cost is generally about $1,800 - $2,000, all-inclusive.

We have sent out a number of proposals to start an AIDS/HIV hospital in Nigeria. Statistics show that up to 35% of the population in some areas of Nigeria are HIV-positive. Pray that God will bring in the necessary funds to accomplish this project.

In spite of the recent tragedy's in America, M.M.I. has had a good year. We want to thank all of you who have traveled with us and those of you who have upheld us with your support and prayers. May God bless you and your families abundantly in 2002.


Yours in Christ,
The Quartemonts
