Greetings friends –

And the answer is “NO, George and Jim did not make it on a plane to Haiti today.”  Remember, God’s timing is perfect and we rest in that.  We headed up to MFI around 7:15 AM after a stop at CVS for a few last minute things.  Arrived around 8:30 and dropped Geo and Jim off at the hangar while Joanie and I went to park.  We had just started to walk to the hangar when George called me and said “Jim can’t find his passport!”  We came to the realization that after George made copies of their passports this AM, Jim’s never made it off the copier.  (Now these are 2 very seasoned travelers - 1) George should have taken the passport off the printer and 2) Jim should have checked for his passport before leaving…..and yet I have a feeling this may somehow come out to be Joanie and my fault for not asking before we left!!)  Joanie and I drove back to West Palm, got the passport and headed back to MFI.  At one point George called and said that there was a flight leaving in a little bit and they had a seat for him so he might go and wait for Jim in Haiti.  Thankfully, after talking about it they decided it would be best for them to stick together.

MFI is 99% sure that they will make it on tomorrow’s flight so the guys decided to stay up there for the night.  The 22 pallets from SC were weighed and came in at over 17,000 pounds.  PLEASE PRAY that the pallets can be sent on the same flight as George and Jim.  PRAY also for a C130 airplane to be available because it can take so much more cargo than MFI’s normal plane.

No direct word from Haiti today but we did receive word from Pittsburgh that there is an organization there that is flying into Haiti and bringing orphans out the past few days and are planning to do the same tomorrow.  Adony has reported that his mom is having difficulty breathing, so he is trying to arrange to fly down on tomorrows flight.  They are praying that Pastor Beril can get Louise to the airport so she can fly back to Pittsburgh with Adony.  If this will work out, and George and Jim fly in tomorrow, then, Lord willing, they would be able to connect with Pastor Beril.

Friends….please pray….so many details have to be worked out and the timing right…..and….and….and BUT my God knows and His will be done.

VERY IMPORTANT – George has his cell phone with him so he can communicate with me, but it is very expensive to make and accept international calls.   Because of this DO NOT call George’s cell while he is in Haiti.  If you have any questions, please call the office at 561-791-7686.  If I’m not in the office the phone will be forwarded to our home.
