Hello All!
So, Tim left for Haiti this morning from St. Paul with Lisa Richards, and then they were meeting up with Rigan's sister as well, in Fort Lauderdale, Flordia. Right now they are all in Flordia with an organization called Save the Children arranged through a company called World Wide Village and are leaving to fly directly to the nursing school/ refugee camp now with 5,000 Haitians in Leogane tomorrow, leaving from the airport around 4:30am. They have to be at the airport around 1:00am to board the plane. There are 11 people including our 3. Their team consists of 6 doctors and 5 supporting staff and they are taking down 1400 lbs of medical supplies, which is great, but no food or water. Although there are a lot of medical supplies going down, it will not last a long time, but praise the Lord the supplies are going down! We still need to gather much, much more!! And we also need to work on finding a plane for food and water to get down there...but that is another project we are and will be working on!
The cool story about how Tim and Lisa got on this plane is definitely a God thing. Deb Kullberg, the team leader for my group to Haiti in March, was at the huge meeting with all the different organizations last friday and sat behind this man who was a part of the World Wide Village company and gave her his contact number. She also got a lot of other numbers of people and it was overwhelming, but she gave the list to Tim for contacts and told him if he is to contact anyone to contact Randy, from World Wide Village because Tim said he only wanted to contact ONE PERSON ONLY! So, Deb picked Randy. She told him that not because she knew they were going and their might be a flight and group going, but because he might have some supplies for Tim. Well, God had other planes and we PRAISE him for it! HE'S SO GOOD!! Randy ended up giving Tim a name of another person who might be able to get them on a flight, well they got on the flight!! I just love God!! Now, they will be down there in less than 10 hours!!!
So, please pray for this team of 11. They are all very tired and have a long, shocking day ahead of them followed by a rough 12 days they are there. Hopefully tomorrow Tim will be able to contact me with exact prayer requests and requests for supplies! Just pray for them. Also pray for the Christina and the boys as even though they are trusting God, it is hard and the enemy is attacking the boys!
New updates and prayer requests will come as fast as I get them!
Thank you for your prayers!! Keep praying for Haiti, the Haitians, Jasmine and Greg, the orphanes and Leogane in general!!
God is GOOD and we will praise HIS NAME!!
In Him,
Katelyn
