Haiti Rescue Update (1/23/2010 8:04 pm CST)

Via Trace Thurlby, Live from Haiti;

Some days you reap. Other days you sow. An unbelievable traffic jam in Port Au Prince made the city nearly impassable. Drivers coming to get us for appointments were stymied, so today, we did a lot of sowing. Three tractor tractor trailors full of supplies were delivered. We loaded one dump truck with close to 10,000 pounds of food for our GO Project kids in other communities. Our new friends from Nebraska, Wisconsin, and New York (Carrie, Bill, and John) arrived and provided medical treatment for dozens in a nearby community. Rob Boyer’s Haitian-genius-friend, Blanchard, even found a Wi-Fi connection for us. Eureka! Yes, you heard that right. Hello, world! The ability to communicate just got a LOT easier here.

God is enabling us to build an operational system that can care for our growing number of Haitian children, independent of how fast the overall national recovery occurs. We hope macro-recovery happens quickly, but we simply can’t wait on that or depend on that. These children are too important, too precious. They are singing again tonight. We just checked on Moliva. She was in a bit of pain and needed some meds so she could sleep. It’s such a privilege to care for them in the name of Jesus with you! We love you! We’ll be in touch soon.
