HANGING AROUND THE "VILLAGE"

Here in Haiti, there is a lot of discontent.  Today, there are a number of "Manifestations" (Riots) scheduled to take place in different parts of the City (Port-Au-Prince).  People are just unhappy with the way things are going.

In recent weeks there have been a number "Manifestations" over gas prices, the lack of elections, etc. etc.  Not sure what these current "Rumblings" are about today.  At any rate, it's a good idea not be on the streets...unless necessary.

So, been staying "Close to the Village" to avoid any problems.  Yesterday morning, we visited the Church, that Barb was instrumental in building, with the help of the Church at Viera.  The worship was sweet and very Haitian.

Then, it was "back to work" in Joe's Depot where we give tender, loving care to Air Mobile Rescuers that need a little attention.  What a pleasant surprise to be visited by my dear friend, Bernard.  We go back 35 years!!

Bernard is fellow pilot and Mechanical Engineer and knows a lot about a lot of stuff.  We've faced many problems together and seen our Lord move so many times!! It was a joy to demonstrate the Air Mobile Rescuer to him.  He fully grasped the UV / Ozone / Photo-Oxidation "miracle".

Of course, Kevin was close by learning the system.  During this time of "Hanging around the Village", have been able to bring our inventory of "Refreshed" Rescuers up to 10, a very good level.

We are now celebrating 11 years of clean water in the "Village".  The Air Mobile Rescuers just run and run delivering life and health.  I'm so THANKFUL for this "miracle" machine! 

We'll be monitoring the "road conditions" today to see where and how intense these latest rounds of "Manifestations" are.  We pray for peace in Haiti.  Violence and destruction will NOT help the Haitians to achieve their goals!

As always, THANK YOU for standing together with us with your faithful and precious and vital prayer, love and support!!

3-8-15 Sunday 6:57AM (Haiti Time) - Bon Repos, Haiti - Air Mobile Base Camp  – Report submitted by:  Air Mobile Joe

WHERE DID THAT HOUR GO????

In Haiti, there are no reminders to "Spring Forward".  I awoke and the sun was not yet risen and I looked at the little "clock" on my computer.  My first thought..."where did that hour go"?   Oh well, I'll, just like many of you, "adjust".

One hour is pretty easy to "absorb".  Now, when you travel to, say, the Philippines...that 12 hour time difference will really "mess you up".

I had asked you to pray for peace and calm in Haiti yesterday.  THANK YOU!  We were up very early and drove to "Love-A-Child" which is located near the Dominican Border.  

There, we met with Sherry Burnett.  Barbara had prepared a special "Poster" to express her deep appreciation for all the food that Bobby and Sherry have donated to literally tens of thousands each month.

Then, Love-A-Child loaded our mission truck with 72 boxes of Manna-Pak food.  Now, let me tell you what that translates to in meals - 15,552 meals!!! 

Note:  We were not alone!  They loaded about 20 other mission organizations with similar loads.

BTW, I have known Bobby and Sherry Burnett for 37 years.  Only our Lord knows how many lives they have saved.  They are faithful and demonstrate the love of God with their lives.  THANK YOU, Bobby and Sherry!

After receiving that great load of food, we then made the journey home.  We were a big target for "highway robbery" but...we made it home, safe and sound.  Now, Barb can provide a lot of nourishing meals to the hungry in our area.

Today, I'll be in the Air Mobile Rescuer "Refurbishing" Depot bringing a couple of Rescuers back to life.  Out of the 337 units that we have in operation here in Haiti, only a few need special attention.  I love doing this!!  Keeping clean water flowing saves lives!

So, now that we've "lost that hour", it's time to get to work.  As always, THANK YOU for your faithful and vital prayer, love and support!!
