December 22, 2010 Wednesday – 6:54am (Eastern U.S. Time) – Cocoa, FL – Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe

Cholera deaths are falling in Port-Au-Prince, but in the provinces, the scourge marches on.  Relief agencies are stocking up on supplies and particularly “re-hydration” solution.  As the cholera epidemic continues to grow, it is essential that this solution and clean water be available.  Just prior to our departure from Haiti, we made strong moves toward “training” as many on the use of the Rescuer as possible.  Once the election results are made public, it is certain that violence will break out.  No matter which way the “recount” goes, many, many will be very unhappy.  We brace ourselves and PRAY!

Yesterday, we continued the move into our new Air Mobile / CSA facility located at 6250 North Courtenay, Merritt Island, FL.  After much prayer and thanks to our dear friends at Teen Missions, we were able to secure a beautiful facility right next to (just south) Kennedy Space Center.  We are among orange groves.  The place is beautiful.  

The main building is actually a church (I’ll give a little history in another blog).  There is adequate space for us operate Cartridge Source of America (CSA) and Air Mobile.  Volunteers have been helping us move.  Seems a number of you have read this blog and given us a call offering to help.  THANK YOU!!

Today, we’ll be doing the same thing.  Been working on something else and need your prayer.  Air Mobile Ministries is a 501C-3 Non-Profit organization established in 1984 as a Church Affiliated Mission Society.  We’ve conducted ourselves in this manner since our inception.  We’ve made this known very clearly to the IRS.  Seems now, this status is being questioned (after 26 years!).  NOTHING has changed in our operation except we’ve been reaching out and doing more than ever.  Been working with some helpful IRS agents.  Our exemption is still in place, but over the next few days, we must prove ” we are, what we are”.  

If you are a pastor / missions director and reading this blog, and support / sponsor this ministry, I could use your help in this matter.  Please give me a call (321-544-7757).  We need prayer and wisdom.   In matters like this, we must join together and PRAY!

Spoke with Barb (Rambo in the Blue Dress) in Haiti last night.  She has laryngitis and could barely speak.  All is calm in the “Village” though there is tremendous tension regarding the upcoming election results.  Please remember them in your prayers!!

Well, the sun has risen and it’s time to “Get Moving”!  God Bless and THANKS – THANKS for your prayer, love and support!!
