Tim in Haiti!!

Tim left for Haiti this morning!

Here is the low-down...
They are flying to Fort Lauderdale with a big organization from St. Paul. There were only 3 places on left on the plane, so by the grace of God did they get on this plane!! They will have full blown military security and will be trying to fly directly into Leogane, but if that doesn't happen they will land in the Dominican Republican and take a military escorte into Leogane. This is a huge trip actually, huge in the fact of the amount of protection and level of urgency...people inside know about it and it is big!! They are also picking up Rigan's sister in florida as well (Rigan is a friend,a Haitian, down in Leogane)and then going down. So the people that we know who are going with this big organization and the government down are Tim, Rigan's sister, and Lisa Richards, a senior nursing student who has been to Haiti 5 times before. She just actually got back in December from a trip down there to bring them food. Dan, who was going to go with Tim, is not going yet, but he is going to wait to hear from Tim and his assessment and pray whether to go or not. He still has a flight on Saturday.

Last night the Bristol's upstairs looked like a drugstore threw up all over! We had medicine and ointments all over the place. Tim took as much as he possibly could and if things go the way we hope, then on Saturday when Dan goes, Dan can bring more and also Tim can assess what of more he needs.

This is just all so crazy. As I hugged Tim last night I knew that God's will would be done as he is down in Haiti. Tim is like a dad to me and so it is a little hard, but I am definitely working on trusting God! God has amazing plans for him, but it is a rough place right now and yes, very dangerous. It is a complete mess over there still, especially Leogane because it has been 4 days and help is now just starting to come!!!

PLEAE PRAY:

- pray for Tim, Lisa and Rigan's sister as they head down

- pray for Christina, Hans, Kristofer and myself, as this is going to a rough day until we hear from him when he actually get there

- pray for his safety and pray that he can help many people

- pray he can get a good assessment and that Dan will be able to go with more supplies!

- continue to pray for Jasmine and Greg and the orphanes!!!!!

I will let you all know more once I know more!! Thanks for the prayers!!

All my love in the name of Christ,
