Your Immanuel MIA (Mission In Action) team met earlier in the week to discuss our upcoming trip, which was scheduled for 2/10 - 2/19. It was agreed by all that it was too soon for the team to go down, due to the logistics of getting down there, and finding a place to stay (the airport is still closed in Port au Prince and our mini-hotel was destroyed), and the desire to let the folks who specialize in large-scale relief to do their work and not get in their way.
So, we're sending several of our team members down soon to meet with our people that we work with specifically when we go down to Haiti (Pastor Louis and his team) to investigate who they need and when and in what numbers. I anticipate a smaller medical team then going down in March or April, with the larger, full team going down in June or July. No guarantees with this, it's just my hunches.
So, we're continuing to collect funds both for Haiti relief, which will be hand-carried down when the two team members go down and meet with Pastor Louis, and also the ongoing beans and rice fund, which will continue to grow until we go at our later date. Thank you so very much for all of your love and generosity to the people of Haiti! We have raised approximately $2500 for Haiti relief so far. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
