1:30pm Eastern Time January 21st:

Marcia and Sam and crew are in Jimani (border town DR/Haiti). All are safe and healthy.

This morning they arrived in Jimani not knowing what to expect. Last
week our DR staff member has made contact with a pastor in
Port-au-Prince who needed medical supplies and food. Since then we've
been unable to contact him due to communication lines being down. They
prayed. The team met up with Miguel in Jimani and were praying and
discussing options when Miguel jumped from the car saying, "There is
the pastor!"

The pastor was at a gas station, dropping off a wounded person, and
headed back to Haiti. Marcia and Sam and team were able to immediately
hand over ALL the supplies they had gathered in Gainesville - $2200
worth – and put it in the back of the pastor's truck. The plan is
tomorrow the pastor will return and the team will meet him with a load
of food stuffs they can buy on the DR side.

They say the hospital is full, but the streets are "normal." There are
lots of aid workers there. They have been talking with two young
mothers with young children who were from Port-au-Prince, had fled
after the earthquake and were just sitting exhausted on the sidewalk.
They seemed traumatized – every time a car went by they felt as if
another earthquake was coming.

Depending on how things go they may go into a small town near another
border that has gone from its normal population of 3000 to more than
20,000 – people are leaving Port-au-Prince in drives going wherever
they can for help.

Please keep praying as they follow the Lord's leading.
