Jeff Badgero and Dave Tugan from Kalkaska, MI., John Vernon from Atlanta, GA., and Jeff Graham from Mt. Pleasant, MI. will be flying out for Haiti tomorrow(Tues. Feb.2) morning. After several attempts to try to get flights right in to Port-Au-Prince they have decided to fly in through the Dominican Republic. Arcenio Jimenez, our friend and preacher in Quanaminthe, which is on the border of Dom. Rep., has already made two trips to Port to deliver and distribute food. Once on money he collected himself and once on money we wire transferred in. He said the roads were clear and he was able to make the trip in 12 hours, which is actually pretty good timing.
Emmanuel Pierre, from St. Marc also made the trip two times, once on his own and once with Arcenio. Emmanuel was able to connect with Leon D'Orleans, a friend and preacher in Port. I would like to share with you a couple of emails we received from Leon. "Happy to hear from you brother, we're still alive and are determined more than ever to serve the Lord. Our time is short, we only have today to serve. I'm very happy, pleased and encouraged by your commitment to your brothers and sisters in Haiti. Hoping to see you when you come."
"Thank you for the precious gift 'in such a time as this' when its really and truly needed. With your donation we plan to buy rice, beans and oil to pass out on Saturday to people in City Soleil. Leon and Jacky."
We are very thankful for men like Emmanuel and Arcenio and are looking forward to going and working with them. Please pray for this trip.
In His Service,
Jeff Badgero
