Departure Day

It is a COLD day here in Oklahoma this morning as we are preparing to depart later on today. The team was blessed last night as our pastor along with the congregation prayed over us for safe travels, good health, and success in what we are to do on this trip. I told my wife this morning that for some reason, I'm very emotional about this trip and so looking forward to what God has in store for us. Last night on NBC's Dateline, there was a special about a team doing work in Haiti that really emphasized the needs there. I know we are in for a powerful display of need in the country and it will be hard not to be overwhelmed by it.

Buddy, Jay and I will be departing this afternoon at 4:15 and will arrive in Port-Au-Prince in the morning at 8:40. Wendi will be there to meet us and then we will travel 7 hours to Plaisance where we will spend a couple of days seeing the area, looking at the possibility of a water well, visiting the hospital and determining the needs there for a laboratory, and spending time in Wendi's orphanage. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pictures while there.

We covet your prayers for our trip. We ask that you pray along with us that God will be glorified and magnified on this trip, that we will be able to see the needs and respond to those needs accordingly.

Special thank you to those that have provided funds, medical supplies, and crafts for us to take to them. I know that will be used to help the ophanage and hospital.

Check back occasionally over the next few days for update.

Thank you and May God Bless You today beyond measure.
