May 24, 2010 – 5:56am – Monday (Haiti Time) – Ruuska Village, Haiti – Report submitted by Joe Hurston – Air Mobile Joe

It’s a beautiful morning here in Haiti. As a matter of fact, moments ago, I stepped to the little balcony of our mission house and snapped the sunrise. I noticed a flutter and this dove “took wing” and passed right through my shot. Must be a message….maybe, it’s a good day to fly. Will take that into consideration. As scheduled, yesterday Kyon and I headed out to a village that translates into English as “Little Place”. It was a wonderful homecoming. We immediately met with Madame Katel. My precious Cindy, 16 years ago, helped save her baby boy. Madame Katel was so moved by the power of prayer and good medical expertise that she expressed a deep desire to become a nurse. 

Cindy and I helped her get all the way through Nursing school and she is now an RN and a great blessing to the whole community. We praise the Lord for the good seed planted in good soil. We also met with Wilfred, a true leader in this community. Wilfred’s son, Wilbur, is an Educator in Haiti and desires to extend his education. We discussed a strategy using the Internet for On-Line Haitian Classes! Cindy had come up with this idea after meeting a young man that she “delivered in a mud hut” 26 years ago. This young man is now just 2 semesters away from becoming a lawyer in Haiti. His school is a pile of rubble. Cindy asked, why not finish your education “on-line”. As I discussed the possibilities with Wilbur, he got very excited. Looks like another project brewing. 

I must also tell you that Cindy’s Dad, who started the mission in the “The Little Place” had a wellput in 27 years ago. It was such a blessing to see the old pump still pumping. You can also see, the old original mission building took a hard hit from the earthquake. We we were greatly relieved that there was no loss of life in “The Little Place” from the terrible earthquake. 

As we drove to this community, there is a section of road with an “Island” in the middle between the two lanes. The entire route is covered with make-shift houses. It’s difficult to imagine living and “raising a family” on an “Island” in the middle of a road with horrific traffic. Such is the desperation of Haiti and….Hurricane season is coming. Oh folks, as I continually implore you, PLEASE PRAY FOR HAITI! 

Finally, our faithful “Water Mules”, Rob and Keyon were up late last night putting the final touches on the “Refurbished” Voyagers. They are ready for action for our next mission to Haiti. God Bless and THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR LOVE & PRAYER!! The day is wearing on. Must get the crew up and going.

God Bless!!
