Brief Update

Here's just a quick update on a few things that are happening:

The mission team from Grace Fellowship made it back to Pella safely last night. They were able to board a cargo plane at the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince and flew into New Jersey before getting a flight home. They were allowed a carry-on and had to leave the rest of their belongings behind. The team was originally set to arrive home early next week. It's a real blessing that they could make it home safely and in such a timely fashion.

They continue to make plans in Pignon to help earthquake victims. It was announced on Haitian radio that earthquake victims could find medical care at the hospital in Pignon, so they expect that many will seek refuge there. Jared & Stacey met with Dr. Guy and others this morning to develop a comprehensive plan to help with evacuation, relocation, feeding and medical care as patients with critical needs are arriving in Pignon. They are working on a list of supplies that we will try to get sent in ASAP as they are in very short supply and the demand will be enormous. We will certainly let you know if there are ways you can help, but first we need to make sure we have the right avenues to get things where they need to go. Pray for Jared and Stacey as they have critical decisions to make and will continue to witness much sadness, pain and grief.

Please also keep praying for the Poulter, Vanderhoff and Fuller families who are in the process of adoptions from Haiti. Though it is a great blessing that they found their children alive and safe, they still don't know if or when they will be able to get them home. Meanwhile, the children remain in Port where necessities are in short supply. Pray that God will make a way to get these children home this week! God can do it!

Keep praying for Haiti!
