Hi,



I apologize for the lack of communication but I think all of you know that writing emails is number 3,456 on my priority list. Someone emailed me and said "you gotta keep them coming if you want to raise money". Folks, that is not why I send emails. If that is a result, praise God.

Saturday was a day spent in traffic, Gas had just become available for the first time and the Western Unions opened up, meaning thousands of Haitians would have cash for the first time. The country was a bottle neck and we were stuck in it as we picked up 3 friends from the airport.

Our friends volunteered for an aid organization, which hitched them a ride here free. They are spending a couple days with us away from the airport.

Sunday was incredible. Recall, our church attendance before the tent was about 200. Then the tent happened and, in the past few months, our attendance has been creeping up toward 500. Well yesterday, and you better sit down, we had 914 people at church. Can you believe that one?
You probably just swallowed your teeth but............it gets better, much better because we had 50 people accept Christ as their personal Savior, becoming followers of Christ. Here is the kicker, 11 came early to church asking to become Christians.

This quake has rocked this nation and shaken people and made them think about life, and about death. Praise God we are here able to meet their needs, physically, emotionally, financially, and most important, spiritually.

We have seating for about 650 so it was standing room. What a praise service it was, at least that is what they tell me. You see, we had a shipment coming in on a missionary flight that I had to pick up at the airport. My staff did a great job.

I was at the airport from 8 a.m. until noon, then rushed to our mission as everyone was leaving to meet a 2pm helicopter full of food, rice, bread, beans, jelly, peanut butter, etc,,,,

We loaded the truck and went straight to the Good Samaritan orphanage with the food, much to the delight of the kids and staff there. It was our FIRST food from outside Haiti and we were so blessed.

This morning, a few minutes, before daybreak I am headed to Pettionvile to a Christian school. There is a team of doctors there and one of them was sent with some cash from my treasurer which I am going to pick up. We still can't find a way to cash a check or get cash.

Then it is to the airport to pick up a board member who will be helping me plan and strategize the upcoming months. Please know that anyone that comes always comes on their own dime. We don't use any our ministry money or relief funds ever to bring people here.

This and a million other things are on the agenda. Keep praying, keep sending emails, I know I am busy but it takes seconds to read an email, and they encourage me so much. Today's goal, 50 emails from YOU.
