September 11, 2008 – Thursday 10:40pm (Eastern Time) – Titusville, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

On 9-11-08 GOD BLESS AMERICA!! In memory of those that lost their loves and their precious families on 9-11-08 – you are in our prayers!! Thank God that we live in a country that we can launch and bring aid and help to those desperately in need. As we prepare to depart for Haiti, we are so thankful for our great country and our many blessings! 

Air Mobile is getting ready to head to Haiti following devasted flooding from Hurricane Gustav and Tropical Storm Hannah. The situation in many areas is dreadful. Many lives are in jeapordy. Some reports state that 1,000,000 are homeless. Haiti has endured 4 hurricanes in the last month. This is astounding! The hurricanes has have struck the south, the central and the northern regions of Haiti. There is such wide-spread destruction and suffering. It is truly hard to imagine. 

We have been working in Haiti for 30 years and we have NEVER seen anything like this. As we plan to deploy there, we realize what a huge and complex problem we face. The roads are destroyed. Millions are cut-off from aid. We have amended our strategy and will be flying into Port-Au-Prince and seeking the use of helicopters to move our teams around the country. The problem is that there are only a limited number of choppers in country. Please pray for more to arrive! 

As the trip develops we’ll endedeavor to update our report. God Bless and THANKS again for your prayer and love. Joe (Air Mobile Joe) PLEASE CONTINUE READING – FOLLOWING THIS REPORT ON HAITI IS OUR REPORT ON OUR RECENT DEPLOYMENT TO MYANMAR (BURMA).
