April 19, 2010 – 6:19am – Monday (Haiti Time)- Ruuska Village – Bon Repos, Haiti – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

Haiti dodged a huge storm last night. The weather satellite indicated a massive storm was coming. Forecasts called for major flooding. We watched this huge red image approach Haiti. I phoned our good friend John Vrooman in Les Cayes to get an actual status report. He reported light, steady rain and no flooding whatsoever! We checked our computer as the huge red image crept toward Haiti. The skies grew dark, the winds blew, ominous rain clouds formed and….tiny, spattering drops of rain fell. It was just amazing and I would say, a bit miraculous. So many were spared a miserable and likely painful night! We just rejoice in the Lord. Yesterday, as the lead photo indicates, we were able to deploy a second Voyager in a large Children’s Home in Brycee, Haiti (operated by the Jacksonville Baptist Association). Several weeks ago, we had checked on their unit. It was such a blessing to see the way they set it up and how well it worked. The orphanage is reaching out into the community and needed a second unit so that they could further impact their neighbors with the love and care of the Gospel. Oh, this deployment felt good. It is such a blessing to present the orphanage with a second unit. In just a few minutes, we’re going to check the tent city, Caanan II. We will be able to visit with Pastor Volny and the leadership. We will also see how they fared through the “lite rain” last night. Will report later. I must tell you, young Garrett, our latest “water mule” has done just great. He has grasped the operation of the Voyager very well and above all…he is willing to do whatever needs to be done. His parents will be very pleased with how well he has done on this mission. As always, we have a bunch of stuff to do today…so, gotta run!!

God Bless!!
