January 1, 2011 Saturday – 8:36am (Eastern U.S. Time) – Cocoa, FL – Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe

Well, here it is….2011.  We move forward.  So many opportunities to serve and help.  Together, we pressed through 2010 and saw and did things that many times, took our breath away.  We have seen our Lord come through so many times in seemingly impossible situations.  

I can only imagine what 2011 holds for us.  One thing is for sure, our faith has been stretched again and again.  Just the fact that I am able to sit at my little laptop and write this blog is nothing short of a miracle.  So many times, over the course of this year, I could have gone on to be with the Lord.  Suppose He’s not through with me yet.  

The Hurston Family has grown by one little girl, Ariana Grace Hurston.  Though she is quite small in stature, she stands very tall in our family.  We are so thankful for this blessing.  If you haven’t met her yet (many of you have) I hope you get to meet her this year.  You’ll see what I mean.

My family has been amazaing this year.  Time and time again we launched mission after mission to Haiti.  Words fail me to describe how strong and resolute Cindy and all of my children have been.  A number of times we traveled together (not all at the same time, Ti Burik could not carry everyone at once) and worked together.  We have so many memories to share.   Our adult children and wives, Steve, Ben, Cherie and Christian (not in this photo) have stood with us so firmly in this noble venture.

Last night, we wrapped up our lease on our old building located at 8850 Grissom Parkway in Titusville.  The property owner, Dr. Florence Alexander has been so gracious to us over these last 5 years.  We pray our Lord’s very best for her and her husband, Stanley.  Now, we move on in our new facility.  We are very excited about all that lies ahead.  

I hope that some of you will be able to join us as we continue our mission to Haiti.  Some of you have already joined us and we look forward to having you back with us.  Above all, so many of you have PRAYED with us over this last year.  Without question, our Lord has provided us with the best Volunteers on earth.  Wow, you have all been amazing!  

Again, I can’t begin to tell you how precious your love,  service and prayer has been.  Another wise man once said – “PRAYER IS STRIKING THE WINNING BLOW…..SERVICE IS JUST GATHERING UP THE RESULTS”  The battle begins in the prayer closet.  I know for a fact that we have praying volunteers! Please continue to pray and believe with us.  We pray our Lord’s very best for each of you.
