Thank you!
We are getting all the supplies together and ready to ship. I will be picking up the supplies from Wooster Christian School tomorrow. Thank you to everyone!
Pastor Joseph and Dr. Davis of CVM are in Haiti checking on construction and evaluating the ongoing situation. Please keep them in your prayers.
After much discussion, it was decided not to purchase anymore water from the states. The Haitians now have a water facility up and running. I was told water is fairly cheap there. We believe it would cost more for us to ship than it would be for them to purchase there. Plus, this enables the Haitians the ability to work.
It is awesome to see the various ways people have chosen to help. Our family of Grace is made up of very generous people. Over $13,000 was sent for food and water. We are able to provide a tent, tarp and ponchos for shelter for at least 150 people. There will be many babies and toddlers receiving nourishment and clothing. We had additional misc. supplies donated that will help people too. As my husband told me one night, if we help one person it is worth it.
I want to say THANK YOU to Pastor Daron, Carol Mills, and Rob Miller for their help. It may take a few people to organize such events. However, it only really takes ONE person to help ONE in need. Because of you, there are a number of people having a meal and staying out of the rain. Because of you, we can hope lives will be saved from disease or death. Because of you, there are a number of people "feeling" what God's love means and are given hope.
Thank you also to Blair Rubber for the use of their truck for our collection day.(pictured above) Here a couple pictures to get a glimpse at what we are providing.
Please pray for us as we travel to Florida to deliver our supplies. We will be leaving on Monday night. Thank you.
Everyone of you who helped could be saving a life and leading them to a relationship with God. I thank God for each of you and may God be glorified!
