My Medical Update and More

I have no idea where to start this update. A lot has happened. Good stuff. Not such good stuff. If I’m being completely honest with you, I’ve been having a difficult time lately. I’ve been trying to write this update for about a month and a half now but every time I finish it, I delete it because I don’t like it. I wrote about awesome things that the Lord did while I was in Haiti and other cool stories the Lord is doing in my life and the lives around me.

A lot of times as a full-time missionary, there is a big pressure to always act like everything is ok – like we have everything together. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. We don’t. We are normal people and we aren’t always perfect.
A lot has happened lately. I led a team back to Haiti to partner with YWAM St. Marc in their earthquake relief efforts. I visited my family & friends in Minnesota and I also found out I had skin cancer. Most recently, I broke up with my girlfriend, Jacque. It’s definitely been an interesting ride lately.

So, what do I talk about from here…?

Food Distribution in the Refugee Tent Cities in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Haiti was good. It was a difficult outreach but an amazing one at the same time. We did various different things, including: food distribution, tent city/refugee camp ministry, English lessons with refugees, a house build and more. Most importantly though, we saw the Lord transform lives around us. One of the students that went with us is now planning to go into full-time missions to Haiti. It’s so cool to see the Lord grab someone’s heart and also so encouraging when that person is willing to go and follow the Lord!

I also recently had the opportunity to go back to my hometown. It’s always fun to go back to Grand Marais to spend time with my amazing family and friends. While I was in Grand Marais, I had a doctor appointment to check out a dark spot on my finger that I’ve had for about a year. The doctor did a biopsy of it and the pathology report came back saying that it is a piece of skin cancer (don’t worry, it isn’t serious). The hardest part about this isn’t having the skin cancer. That can easily be treated. I could care less about that. The difficult part is that I want health insurance but am not able to get it. Even though it’s been a burden, the Lord has connected me to a few doctors willing to help so it will be taken care of sooner than later. Praise the Lord!

A few days ago, I broke up with my girlfriend, Jacque. It has been a very rough time since then but the Lord is teaching me a lot. I’m not going to go into a two page detailed reason of why we broke up but I will briefly explain it. Basically, I felt the Lord was saying to me that I was going to her for comfort, healing, acceptance, etc. It was almost like I was replacing God with Jacque. God was telling me that I needed to come to Him for healing and for comfort, etc. He wanted me to fully surrender to Him. I fought with this for a few days and tried to do this on my own and make our relationship work even better under my own strength. After the Lord convicted me again of it, I had to talk to her about it. It was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do in my life, but I wanted to be obedient to the Lord. We’ll see what happens in the future. Even though it has been extremely difficult and I didn’t want to do it, the Lord has been teaching me a lot. One of the things He is teaching me is to simply cling to Him and rely on Him for everything. He has been giving me such a desire and hunger to search after Him at every chance I can get, whether I have 15 minutes before a meeting to dig into the Word or waking up earlier than I would like to, to spend time with Him in the morning. I’m not saying that this is always easy though. He is teaching me a lot about discipline, which has been challenging but awesome at the same time.

Isn’t it interesting that when we are at a low point in our lives, also known as “in the valley”, we get to know the Lord more than when we’re “on the top of the mountain”? It’s in those hard times when we encounter Him the most. I think that is because we need comfort and the only place we can turn is to God.

I would really appreciate if you continued to pray for me through this season, that the Lord would continue to reveal Himself in such a strong way. Thank you for your continual prayers and financial support. Without people like you, I could not do what I am able to do. You are such an encouragement to me so, thank you!

God Bless,

Medical Need

Hello!

While I was in Minnesota visiting family and friends recently, I had a biopsy on this weird thing that's been on my finger for about a year and it's been getting bigger. The doctor called me a few days ago to tell me the test results and they found some cancer. DON'T WORRY! It won't kill me and cannot spread throughout my whole body. It can just spread more on my finger if I don't take care of it. Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you and I also want to share my next predicament.

I don't have health insurance but I NEED to get the skin removed somewhat soon so it doesn't get worse. This will require a minor surgery with a dermatologist specialist. Insurance companies will not accept me since now my records says that I had a biopsy and they found the cancer.

So basically, I need to find a dermatologist surgeon that could bless me and do it for free (or very cheap). I am going to call and ask around to various different places and just ask...it's worth a try! That's my biggest prayer request right now that all of the logistics get worked out with finding a way to get it removed.

So...I am looking for a dermatologist that can do surgeries pro bono or for a very cheap rate. I would be willing to fly to a different state (than California) because it would be cheaper than paying the full rate for the surgery. So if you know anyone who would be willing to do this, please let me know.

I will keep you up to date as things unfold. Thank you in advance for your prayer support. I appreciate it.

Blessings,

Disaster Relief Training School

Hi!
I just wanted to write a quick update and let you all in on my latest news! I have recently been accepted into a disaster relief training school called RescueNet.

What is RescueNet?
RescueNet works within the Youth With A Mission network as a disaster response team. It is an international organization recognized by the United Nations as a disaster relief agency. They specialize in treating the victims of natural and man-made disasters in the critical early days following these incidents.

When is the school and where is it?
The dates of the training school are from October 9 - October 23, 2010 and it will be held at YWAM San Francisco.

How much does the school cost?
The RescueNet school will cost roughly $1,000 for everything (training, material, food, lodging, transportation, etc.)

My Heart
I am very excited to participate in this school and get further training. I have always had a heart to do outreaches geared towards disaster relief. It is such a special thing to share Christ and to help people when they've literally lost everything. When I went to Haiti in January right after the earthquake, it opened my eyes even more. Shortly after I returned home, I heard about this school so I immediately applied.

What is my next step?
I will need to raise $1,000 to do this school. If you are interested in partnering with me financially to help me do this school, look under "How To Donate" on the right side of my website. You can also email or call me. I am also looking for people to partner with me in prayer for this school. I am excited to see what God has in store for this school.

God Bless,

Tyler Dean

---------------A blurb from RescueNet's website!---------------

"Every year there are over 350 disasters around the world. 80% of the victims are left without first aid, medicine, child care, shelter and help finding loved ones. They need you like they never thought they could. Learn how to meet a crisis with the Love of Christ."

UPDATE: Fruits of the Spirit

Hey!

How are you? I just wanted to get you up to date on what I’m learning, what I’m doing and where I’m going and all of that good stuff.
God has been smacking me in the face lately, teaching me a lot of different things. It’s great!

One of the fruits of the spirit is self control. We always focus on the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and faithfulness, but in this day in age, we often overlook self control. In a culture where self control is almost looked down upon, it’s hard to go against the grain to have self control. God has been teaching me a lot about this lately. I have been working hard at being a good steward of what He has given me and entrusted me with. This has been hard to learn. Basically, it’s easier to buy a latte at Starbucks than to save money. It’s easier to buy a sandwich at Subway than it is to make your own peanut butter and jelly. I don’t want to be taking the easy way out. If I’m being completely honest with myself right now, I haven’t been giving money away or tithing. I feel like the Lord is saying to me that even if I don’t have the money to give, I should still give. Through this, the Lord is teaching me to trust in Him, that He will continue to provide. I want to ask you to partner with me in prayer as the Lord continues to teach me about this. Also, feel free to ask me how I’m doing with this.

I’ve been super busy recently, planning a handful of Project Sixty-One (the ministry I work with here at YWAM Pismo Beach) outreaches for the summer and fall of 2010. As you may already know, I am going back to Haiti in just over a week from May 16 – June 3. We will be working with YWAM Port-au-Prince and YWAM St. Marc (located 60 miles north of Port-au-Prince). During our time in Haiti, we will be ministering in the refugee camps along with helping on a sanitation project in the camps. We will also be working at YWAM’s orphanage and possibly doing a construction project. I’m really excited to go back to Haiti to share Christ’s love and to see my friends that I made while I was down there in January.

We are currently planning two more trips to Haiti in September and November. On those outreaches, we will be doing most of the same ministry and will be doing building projects. If you’re interested in going with me in September, let me know and I can get you more information on the outreach.

I hope to be writing updates while I am in Haiti but I’m unsure of the internet connection in the country.

I also want to say thank you for your encouragement, continued prayer support and financial help. I literally could not do what I do without people like you.

Take Care & God Bless,

Tyler Dean

CRAZY TESTIMONY OF HEALING IN HAITI ALONG WITH VIDEO FOOTAGE!

Hey!

I just wanted to share this video with you of what God is doing in Haiti currently. Click on the link below:

http://video.christianpost.com/20100302/revival-in-haiti-a-call-to-fasting-and-prayer

Also-I wanted to share this testimony of a miracle that took place at YWAM Haiti recently! The following is a story from Keturah Snow, a full-time missionary with YWAM Haiti.

"There is a little girl here at our refugee camp here who has a broken back and has been paralyzed and staying at our clinic here at the YWAM base in Saint Marc, Haiti." said Keturah Snow, a missionary with YWAM HAITI. "Our staff have been caring and praying for her. We got the news today that she cannot have surgery and if somehow she can, it won't be for awhile. Those that were with her when she got the news began to pray for her, and I would just like to share with you how big my God is...She moved her foot, and then stood up, and then walked!!!! Who needs medical school when you have Jesus!!"

What a cool testimony! I thought this was awesome! I am extremely excited to go back to Haiti in May with Project Sixty-One, the ministry I work with here at our YWAM base in Pismo Beach.

Talk to you soon! God Bless,

Tyler Dean

The Energizer Bunny....

Hello friends,

Well...this update is LONG overdue. My apologies. I feel like I have been going like the energizer bunny as of late!

Last night, I got home from Colorado. This past week, myself and another YWAM Pismo Beach staff, Jacque Gowing, had the opportunity to go to speak about our time in Haiti, helping in the earthquake relief efforts with YWAM Haiti, located in Saint Marc, which is about 60 miles north of the capitol city of Port-au-Prince. We also spoke about Project Sixty-One, the ministry we both work with here at YWAM Pismo Beach. Over the week, we spoke eight times at various different churches. It was so fun to see God opening so many doors! He blew me away last week-wow!! I will be leading two different teams to Haiti with Project Sixty-One. We are focusing on bringing medical and construction workers (Fore more information on these outreaches, go to: http://ywampismobeach.org/project%2061/#/outreaches ).

I feel like the Lord is really working in me with speaking in front of people. Two years ago, I would have never even thought about speaking in front of 700 people, but it happened last Wednesday evening! I've become way more comfortable and that is encouraging to me! I even noticed a difference throughout the week-Thank You, Jesus!!

Something else exciting is happening! For the past year and a half, I have been asking God to provide me with a little vacation. That has happened! I am going to Hawaii on Thursday (February 25) for ten days! The best part is, I had enough frequent flier miles so I only had to pay $10 for my flight!! I will be staying with my friend (who I met in Haiti) and his wife and kids. Its close to YWAM's main campus in Kona, Hawaii. I am very excited to get away and have some time alone with Jesus and to just relax. I feel like I've been running and running and running. I think the Lord knew it was time for me to stop for a bit. I think this will be very important for me to do.

I just want to say thank you once again for your continual prayer and financial support. God has done SO much in the past few months and its very exciting to be in the middle of it.

God Bless,

Tyler Dean

HAITI UPDATE:

Hello from Haiti,

It was rather nice to not wake up to an earthquake this morning...unlike yesterday morning. Today wasn't exactly a very physical day until the very end but was crutial to helping the Haitians in need. I was making ID Cards and registering hundreds of refugees that are evacuating Port Au Prince. I did that from 7:30-3:30. During the few slow periods of time, we went over and played games with the kids (orphans) who were in our refugee camp at the YWAM Base and just loved on them. I really love Haitians! They're beautiful people.

After we finished making ID Cards, we walked a mile down the road to the abandoned hospital to see how it was looking. It is now completely gutted out, sanatized, painted and almost done with putting electric into it. When we arrived, there was a slight riot going on. There was one man who was telling Terry (YWAM's National Director of Haiti) that he owned the building but he obviously didn't. In the large circle of chaos, the locals were getting very frusterated with this man and he eventually ran off. Terry talked to the Haitian's and they all started cheering and clapping because they know that what we are doing is going to help the community greatly. Praise the Lord! After we walked the mile back to the YWAM Base, we arrived and there was a small semi filled with beans and rice to feed all of the refugees so we carried bag after bag after bag of rice and beans into the storage space. It got quite heavy after a while of carrying.

Tomorrow morning, we are leaving to the Dominican Republic at 5:00 AM to catch our Saturday flight back to California. Please be praying for safe travels, sleep and ease crossing back over the border into the DR.

When I return home to California, be checking my blog (www.tylerdean.blogspot.com) for pictures and many stories of the outreach.

Thank you all for your continual prayers, support and encouragement. It is so great, so thank you!!!!!

HAITI UPDATE: A Rude Awakening!

Good Evening,

I have absolutely no idea where to start...there are so many stories....

This morning at 6:03 AM, we had a wake-up call...it wasn't from my alarm clock. I found myself jumping out of bed, sprinting down the cement stairwell with 30+ other people trying to get outside while the building was swaying. There was an earthquake...aftershock...call it what you want. It was intense.

It was horrible to hear the poeple in the refugee camp screaming at the top of their lungs during and after the earthquake. Some of the injured people that should NOT even be standing up, were trying to run. They were absolutely terrified of another quake. Please be praying for them.

After everything settled down, we had a great time of worship and prayer for each other then started our work day. We continued to clean the hospital down the road. Its becoming very nice. They have bumped the number of refugees (injured) up to 8,000 to come up here to St. Marc. The UN, Haitian Police and possibly US Military will be providing us security for everything.

We also worked at moving the refugees from the YWAM Base's arena to a different location to preparing the arena for doctors, YWAM teams, etc. To make a very, very long story short, the place we were supposed to take the refugees fell through and so we are still housing and caring for them. They are happy to still be here because they know they are safe here and well cared for.

Tomorrow, please be praying for us as we start receiving bus loads of refugees, teams, doctors, etc. I am signing off for tonight due to tiredness. Thank you all so much!

Blessings,

HAITI UPDATE: January 19, 2010

Hello folks,

Just to warn you, this is going to be a quick update because I am exhausted and I've tried to type this 4 times but the power keeps going out...anyways....

This morning, we woke up at 6:00 AM to start our day. I spent the morning a mile down the road at the abandoned hospital washing it out and sanitzing it to get it ready for the refugee camp. We are preparing for 2,000-3,000 people who are wounded, to be arriving in St. Marc at the hospital we are cleaning and two local schools. Relief aid personel will be staying at the YWAM Base here in St. Marc, too.

After lunch, I worked at the refugee camp that is here at the YWAM Base, doing medical work. I've never done anything quite like that. It was intense. We worked with quite severe abrasions, burns, head trama, broken bones, etc.

Here is a quick story from a kid who is at the refugee camp here at the YWAM Base. He was found dead underneath a fallen building. They put him in a coffin and took him to the morgue. While the doctor was going through the morgue, he heard pounding and opened the door and the child was alive! He has severe head injuries (and more).

That's all for today. Time for bed. Thank you for your continual prayers!

In Christ,

HAITI UPDATE

Hello friends & family,

This morning, we woke up at 1:00 AM to leave to the border of Haiti. We arrived around 8:00 and passed within 5 minutes. They didn't even stamp our passports or anything. Thank you so much for your prayers!

Two and a half hours later, we arrived in Port Au Prince, where the earthquake did by far the most damage. We had police escorts on the front and back of us from the border all the way into the capitol city. They escorted us into the city's main police station across the street from the presidents palace, which was totally smashed to the ground. I don't really know how to describe what it looked like inside the city streets of Port Au Prince...it was what I would imagine a war zone to be like. Buildings were totally flattened...cars crushed, cement on the streets and poeple wondering everywhere, looking for hope. I heard we didn't even see the worst part(s) of the city, either.

After going to the police station, we departed up to Saint Marc, where YWAM Haiti is located. We will now be staying with them until Friday. We will be VERY busy here and working long days. We don't plan on going into Port Au Prince too much, if at all anymore due to the dangers in the city and the needs here in St. Marc.

Everyone from Port Au Prince is evacuating and going north, up to St. Marc. The YWAM base has a field on the side of the building which is now turning into a refugee camp. Anytime now, we will be getting tons more people. We are racing against time to set up an old abandond building the government is letting the YWAM base set up into a refugee camp and a make-shift hospital. There is also a school on the northeast side of St. Marc where we will be turning into a camp, too, along with our YWAM base here in St. Marc.

There are thousands upon thousands injured and needing medical help and food. Please keep these people in your prayers. Also be praying for us, to share Christ's love with them and to help them in any ways possible.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. We apprecaite them greatly and need them!

Love you all!

HAITI UPDATE: The First 48 Hours

Hello from the Dominican Republic. Our journey began on Friday, January 15th. We left Pismo Beach at 7:45 PM to go to Los Angeles. We stopped in Santa Barbara to pick up more medical supplies from Pacific Rescue. After a long drive, we arrived at YWAM Los Angeles at 12:30 AM.

Before we knew it, we were awake at 3:30 AM to catch our flight to Chicago, then to Miami and finally to the Dominican Republic (DR). Our flight was delayed one hour from Miami to the DR so we arrived on the Carribean island around 12:50 AM. We breezed straight through customs and found our van driver from YWAM Dominican Republic.

After an hour drive back to the YWAM base, we arrived around 2:15 AM and helped load a van with medical supplies and water that departed at 3:00 AM. Due to arriving late into the DR, we couldn't go into Haiti that morning. After a very long day, we were finally able to sleep...at 2:45 AM.

This morning (Sunday, January 17th), we woke up early to talk over our plan of action. It has ended up good good that we did not leave to Haiti very early this morning. We were able to set up more of a game plan on how to get into Haiti and how to get out on Friday, to catch our Saturday flight back to California.

We will be departing to Haiti at 2:30 AM (In roughly 7 hours). We have a 54 passenger bus that we will be taking to the border of Haiti. We are riding with a team from Pennsylvania. There will be 25 people on the bus with us. We will be packing up the bus with our medical supplies along with 10 cases of water that we purchased today.

From the border, YWAM Haiti will pick us up. Please be praying for safety crossing the border and for safe and smooth travels to Port Au Prince and to the city of Montrouis, where we will be living. It will be at least a 7 hour bus ride tomorrow...not including however long the border crossing takes.

Thank you all for your support and continual prayers. Your prayers are GREATLY appreciated. I will update you as I can throughout this week. Once again, thank you so much for all of your encouragement, support and prayers!

Love,
-Tyler Dean

Another story from the field in Haiti....

Here is another story from Philip in Haiti.



What a crazy couple of days. We received word that Samaritan’s Purse would be setting up a staging area at the mission compound where our other eye clinic is being established. So we spent the morning planning what we needed to do in the next week and then went to the compound about half way to Port Au Prince to see if Samaritan’s Purse had arrived. We still have little to no cell phone service which makes things so much more complicated. We found out that a group of the inmates that escaped when the prison wall collapsed was hijacking vehicles in that area and that Samaritan’s Purse was not there. Due to issues with communication, we do not know when they will get there. Our plan is to partner with them and be involved in their water treatment program and distributions and medical clinics.

Right now Port Au Prince has not been secured enough to let most humanitarian aid teams in. The UN is working but there are still so many dead bodies and everyone is still sleeping in the streets. The situation is extremely desperate and thousands of people that lost everything in their collapsed homes are trying to escape the city and go stay with loved ones and friends in the outlying provinces. We are working on getting a food distribution system in place to meet the needs of the refugees and the families that are receiving them. We want to be able to provide food as well as clothing and clean water. Most of the people we have become friends with have taken in family members and are trying to help them deal with the trauma and fear from their experience in the quake. We want to be able to meet their physical needs but also the emotional and spiritual trauma from such a devastating event. The people are so traumatized from the event itself that they have not even really begun the process of mourning for their lost loved ones. Pray God will give us the chance to minister mercy and grace to as many as possible.

We sent a search party consisting of a big truck with 3 motorcycles on back into the city again this afternoon to look for Dago- one of our close friends’- brother and for Julie Wirries. We praise the Lord that just after the team reached the city we received word that Julie’s son had already received communication that Julie was safe. PRAISE the Lord! We do not know anything more than that at the moment.
We had a prayer time with Dago and the team as we were sending them out and it really was a sweet time as God met with us and they saw how much we loved them and were concerned for their safety.

I will let everyone know how things develop. We will be working north of Port Au Prince until we see the opportunity to partner with some groups establishing sites of ministry once the city is secured in the next day or two. Once most of the bodies have been removed and the houses that are still livable are reoccupied, things will be much easier. Then the long and arduous process of rebuilding and dealing with the homeless and hungry and sick begins. The airborn diseases and contaminated water supplies are a definite concern.

There are constantly bodies being brought through our area in open trucks being taken to morgues and graves north of the city. Every passing body is a reminder of the extent of the event. We would love to set up a food and clothes distribution center here in Montrouis. As food and fuel becomes more scarce, the prices are going to continue to rise and make it even harder for the average Haitian to support their normal household, much less the extra people they are bringing in.

Please pray for the people of Haiti. They are so afraid right now and hurting. We hate it. To see people you love so desperate is heart wrenching. We still don’t have cell service to call our family and internet is limited but know we love you and miss you and praise God you are alive and safe there. Seeing so many people lose children and parents and siblings helps us have a new perspective of how blessed we really are. Mom and Dad and Megan and Luke we miss you. We love you. We wish you were here to help us. Know we will be careful and yet not shy away from the opportunity to go wherever God leads us.


Blessings,

Philip Causey
