December 20, 2010 Monday – 6:07am (Haiti Time) – Undisclosed location – Haiti – Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe

Yesterday morning, a small Air Mobile team departed on motorcycles for Pastor Volny’s church located right in the middle of a huge dump / land fill.  So good to see Pastor Volny and to share with his church, but…it was with sadness to learn that “Old Daniel” had passed away on Saturday.  He fought the good fight and we, his “adopted” family had stood with him until the end.

I have been blessed and moved by the love and care that the leadership of Caanan II had shown toward Daniel, who one day wandered into the tent city, very sick and all alone.  The community became his family and so did I.  We trust that Daniel is in a better place today.

Our mission with Pastor Volny – train more of his leadership on the care and operation of the Air Mobile Rescuer.  They were good students.  The water source in their community was quite contaminated and the Rescuer will do much to PREVENT cholera as well has maintain health.  The “students” grasped the operation and value of this wonderful machine and recognized the tremendous gift of clean water.

From Pastor Volny’s community, it was back to Caanan II.  This community has over 5,000 residents and we felt it important to train more operators on the Rescuer.  There have been cases of cholera showing up in the tent city and we feel it is very important to help prepare the residents for the days ahead.  

Sunday was a quiet day on the road.  Usually, riots don’t occur on Sunday.  We’re thankful for every quiet day in Haiti.

We have a full day today.  As always, need and truly appreciate your prayers.  God Bless!!
