February 8, 2009 – Sunday – 12:40pm (Eastern U.S. Time) Miami International Airport -Report submitted by Joe Hurston

Photo depicts our Medical Team upon arrival in Managua, Nicaragua on the evening of Februay 5, 2009. This report is being sent from the Miami International Airport. I had to leave the Nicaragua Medical mission early due to appointments and meetings that involve a very noble battle that our ministry is fighting in behalf of the right to have a church rent space for services. It’s a long story, but it the reason I’m here and the medical team is still in Nicaragua. Here’s a quick update from the team in Haiti. I just spoke with Joe Prussel in Haiti just a few minutes ago who is leading that team of 11. The team completed construction on the Vortex Voyager Repair Depot. Up until now, we have set up “shop” in the clinic or on Barbara Walkers “Front Porch”. Now we have a permanent home for Voyager parts and a full repair facility. In addition to that, the team did electrical work, other much needed construction and Joe’s wife, Lydia even painted a beautiful mural of Noah’s Ark for the village. Joe just told me that we won’t recognize the village when we next go. This is so cool, to have 2 teams working simulaneously in Haiti and Nicaragua. Now, on to the update from the Nicaragua Medical mission. Yesterday, February 7th began bright and early. The team boarded our bus and truck and headed out to another village in the proximity of Nueva Guinea. The road was so bad that we had to break up our team. Team A was the Docs and “Essential Personnel”. Team B was the Non-Essential Personnel. I stayed back with team B. Well, here is what happened. Our A team headed to the community to meet over 150 needy patients. Meanwhile, we in Team B awaited our truck. The truck was delayed in returning for us due to the fact that the road was worse than anticipated. As a result, John Torres, his lovely wife Jennifer and myself stayed back while the medical team pressed on and saw all 150 patients! We just chilled out and rested while the team did amazing medical things for very needy people. The day before, February 6, 2009, our team saw over 100 patients in Yolaina. The Doctors, Steve and Francisco jumped right in and began using their gifts for the Glory of God. The whole team of nurses and support personnel were really used by the Lord. As I sit here in Miami International Airport and reflect on the fact that these teams are laying their lives down and serving our Lord, I am overwhelmed with thankfulness and joy! My plane will be arriving shortly and I’ll return back to Orlando this eveing. I just wish that each of your could be with us on these missions. It is so wonderful to be used by our Lord in this way. Gotta run.
