Saturday

Well it has been over 3 days since the quake and things are really starting to come together in terms of the relief effort.
We are so grateful for the Samaritan's Purse people who are here right now coordinating that effort. They are so talented and skilled to know how to help and how to best coordinate all the work. They truly are an answer to prayer.
This morning Kyrk and Chris left once again to head down to the airport. Chris was planning on taking some of the SP people around to access damages and see where they can start meeting people's needs. Others of the SP people were going to contact the UN and see how they can help, hopefully with fuel and water.
We also sent out a truck to try and find Oxygen for the hospital and propane so we can continue to cook food for the hospital and the staff here. Pray that they find some. The hospital is very low on oxygen.
Kyrk is at the airport receiving the 2 plane loads of supplies that are coming in today. One is all medical supplies from SP and the other is relief supplies from MFI. MFI (Missionary Flights International) is the organization that is flying most of the SP supplies and people in right now. MFI has been a huge blessing and are using BHM as their contact here in Haiti to help distribute the supplies that they have. Again, what a huge blessing to have SP people here to help distribute all these things. We could never have done this without them.
There is going to be a huge amount of supplies coming up to the mission tonight. So far God has miraculously allowed everything to go smoothly with receiving these things and transporting them. We are amazed at how we see God working out all the little details of each day.
Let me share a few stories of how God worked.

As the guys were driving down the mountain yesterday they wanted to stop and talk with the man who is our internet provider. They didn't really know where he lived, so they were just going to go to the general area and try to find him. As they go close he pulled up right beside them on the road. WOW thank you GOd!!

This one is from Thursday when they were handing out the plastic. Kyrk had 4 pieces of plastic left and found a spot where he wanted to give them out. As soon as he stopped a man in his car asked desperately for one. Kyrk decided to give him one and as soon as people saw that, many people started coming. He quickly gave the other 3 away and was going to quickly start leaving before being mobbed. As he was just about to drive away a man came and knocked on his window. It was the first man he had given plastic to. He had parked his car, and went over to Kyrk just to say Thank YOU!
It is things like this that are so encouraging.
Thank you to all of you who have given financial support. There are too many stories to share of how appreciative the people are for the little that we are able to do right now. Please know that these thank yous are for all of you who are donating also.

Thank you so much for your prayers also. God is really doing amazing things.
