Again, today has been a great day of seeing God work.
The MFI flight containing almost 6000 lbs of relief supplies was able to land and they safely off loaded the supplies and they have arrived here at the mission. We are so thankful to MFI for the donation of these supplies and for being willing to fly them in for us to distribute to the people.
Kyrk had to go back to the airport with some more of the Samaritan's Purse people for an interview with Greta VanSutern(not sure I spelled that right) from Fox news. She is interviewing them and it is supposed to air tonight around 10. At least this is what Kyrk thought This may change, but you should see this interview with them sometime on the Fox news channel.
The DC-6 that Samaritan's Purse was expecting did not arrive, but it is scheduled to arrive at 1am this morning. There is also another plane coming in at 4am. As a result 2 of our workers along with 2 SP people are going to be staying at the airport tonight to meet those planes.
Our guys will be traveling to the airport in the morning to pick up the supplies.
We still have not found any IV solution and as a result the doctors have stopped doing surgeries. We have also run out of x-ray film and developer. We have been told that someone here in country is willing to get us some and we can go pick it up tomorrow morning. Pray that this will happen. We really need to be able to do x-rays.
It is so encouraging to see how the people are coming together and thanking God for protecting them and praising Him even among all this devastation. Even now as I write this I am listening to some local people in the community singing hymns of praise.
We praise God that yesterday 5 more people gave their life to the Lord and today 3 people. It is such a blessing to have the 2 chaplains here and God is mightily using them and people are coming to the Lord through this tragedy.

Thanks for doing such a great job in keeping us posted. Continue to pray for everyone for strength, safety and wisdom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so thankful that you are able to give these updates. It certainly helps me to know more specifically how to pray for all of you. May God be your strength and hope in this difficult time.
Thanks for the updates, we are following the progress of the help coming into Haiti and wish we could be there to assist. Many prayers are coming your way, special mention and collection at church yesterday and this is happening in most churches here in the states. We pray for speedy assistance with your immediate needs. Love from New Jersey, Lenny Lieb's sister and family
I will be praying and will pass your request for specific prayer to others.
