Tiny sample of supplies we took to Haiti

 

 Those of you who read my last blog know that the needs at the Haitian Christian Mission are tremendous right now.  Pastor Prophete says the supplies from AIM are running out and people are overflowing at the center.

 
The good news is that AIM is able to respond to these specific needs.  Today a delivery was made of 2,000 lbs of food, 16 tents, sleeping pads, tarps, etc.  And there is a medical team from the Atlanta area who will be working there for 1 week beginning on Saturday. So God continues to supply for his people.
 
 One of our biggest roles in the DR/Haiti was to continually supply pastor Prophete’s ministry with necessities.  That meant that we took the weight limit of supplies from the U.S. with us, and then we did a lot of shopping every day while we were there.  We had a morning supply drop with him and then a 10pm supply drop.  We met at the border and unloaded our vehicle into his, prayed with him, and sent him off as we made new lists and raced to gather more supplies.
 
It was truly an honor to be messengers of goodness.  Thank you again for all of the contributions that you made in order to supply those who are suffering.  Please continue to pray for strength, encouragement, and faith for all of the Haitian pastors and leaders who are whole-heartedly serving their people.

  3. Praising God for His provision…..I did have to chuckle, though…..the packing of the vehicle reminded me of the packing up of my house and then the UHaul…..perhaps you got in some good practice beforehand with me that helped you in Haiti! 😀

    Praying for you, my friend!

  5. What a system you had going! It’s exciting to hear that a team from Atlanta can continue starting today. I love you so much, and it would have been a joy to be with you.
