June 13, 2010 – 5:56pm – Sunday (Haiti Time) – Bon Repos, Haiti (Ruuska Village) – Report submitted by Joe Hurston – Air Mobile Joe  

Up early this morning / looking for sources of food & water for the folks “outside”. My first destination this morning was Caanan II, the large tent-city. As I pulled in, saw that the large water bladder was nearly empty. After meeting with some of the leaders, was very relieved to hear that a water truck would be there later today. Apparently, the bladder is filled each day. With over 5000 residents, they need a lot of water. This location is blessed. They are on the relief agencis “radar”. For that we are thankful. 

Next location is a new project that Cindy and I discovered on our last mission here last week. A large hospital that has been abandoned for over 20 years has become the home to about 500 people. Their main problem – no water source in the entire compound. I started looking around and found that right next door to this old abandoned facility was a shut down “Ice Factory”. There had been an active well on the property, but it had been shut down for several years. This has possibilities. Will do some more research on this. 

Upon returning to the Village, Barb (Rambo in the Blue Dress) and I discussed how to get more food for these projects. Barb had written our dear friends, Bobby & Sherry Burnette last night and made inquiry. 

We were so glad to get an e-mail from Bobby agreeing to up the food his ministry, Love A Child, was donating to Barb’s ministry, Reach out to Haiti. The increase will give our ministry, Air Mobile Ministries, designted food for the “Tent-City” outreaches. Now is that cool or what!! It’s so good when “the brothers & sisters dwell together in unity”. Tomorrow morning, we pick up a load of food for the newest tent city in the abandoned hospital. I never cease to marvel at how our Lord multiplies our efforts for His glory!! After the good news of the “food increase” from Love A Child, we called another orphanage that we heard about that needs a water purifier. The head of the orphange will come to the Village tomorrow for training and to pick up the unit. Barb has already checked it out and they are a wonderful candidate to receive the unit. As I am typing this “blog”, another team just arrived from Ohio. Our other team members, Shaun and Austin flew out this afternoon. They were a tremendous blessing while they were here. Again, it is so good to have folks helping us here in Haiti. Better wrap up for the day. Going to be a good day tomorrow.

Thanks again for your love and prayer!!
