Off We Go!



The first part of the crew has taken off!
Thanks, Phil, for sending the photos!


See that trailer behind the van?


It's full of 27 bags filled with 50 pounds of medical supplies (each!).
PLEASE PRAY that we will be able to check them all the way to Haiti and not have to unload them tonight to the hotel and then check them again.
Also, PLEASE PRAY that everything will get through safely!



Haiti, here we come!

Prayer:
-Safe travel (we will be flying to Miami tonight, then on to Haiti early Saturday morning)
-Checked bags (that we won't have to take them to the hotel)
-Customs (that everything will get through smoothly)

Packed!

This morning the Cedar Falls team packed their bags for Haiti! Dad sent the following photos.
The thirteen of us will be serving in a field hospital in Port-au-Prince.

Over $5,500 worth of medication and several thousand dollars worth of medical equipment donated by local medical facilities.

We're also filling any extra space in our suitcases with Beanie Babies to bring to the children.

Thank you to all who have contributed to this trip financially, with prayer, or with Beanie Babies :)

Prayer:

-Safe travel (we fly from Cedar Rapids to Miami on Friday, then on to Haiti on Saturday)

-That the supplies we are bringing will be useful in treating the needs of the patients at the field hospital

-For our hearts to be flexible and serving

-For the internet to work so I can continue to post updates
