Email from Haiti Relief Team 01.24.10

Yesterday (1/23/10) was a long day starting at 5:30 to get back to Santa Domingo to meet Team Two. They stopped for supplies and then met Dr. Steve Burgher and then waited in the airport for 6 hours until the delayed flight from JFK landed with Dr. Randy Owen, Mt Sinai Surgeon; Heather Butcher, Team Leader at Infinity NY Church and Richard Mamary, Docudrama Producer/Cameraman.

Bob said that while waiting for the plane seemed long, God was able to use them to help an Israeli Search and Rescue Team with 14 people whose flight had been delayed and they missed the military plane going into Port au Prince. They were able to give them help in finding lodging for the night.

They then ran into a Mexican Search and Rescue Team who was trying to meet up with 25 other members of their team that also missed the military plane. These couple of people went with our team to enter into Port au Prince by road. Bob said that each member of this Mexican team paid for their own supplies and airfare to have the privilege to serve in Haiti. If we all could feel that way! Incredible!

They got to Baharama, in the Dominican Republic at 2:30am and were back on the road at 6:00am (1/24/10). They are now back at the Church Mission Center and setting out in 2 teams for the day’s work.
