As I read the headlines today, Egypt is on the brink.  Protesters are demanding the long-term leader (3 decades), Hosni Mubarak resign.  Recently, similar protests erupted in Tunisia.  It is as if  a fire has been lit and a strong wind is blowing it.  This is the time to call upon our Lord, hold steady and seek His direction and guidance.  Please remember to pray for these turbulent nations and times.

Things are “teetering” in Haiti, as each bit of news (regarding the recent elections) strikes sparks and easily could ignite that flame.  So many people are searching for answers (and solutions).  So many are angry and confused.  I don’t want to oversimplify this situation but….we, in our own small way want to offer some clean water.  This seems to cool things down.  I am reminded of the simple beautiful words of our Lord Jesus in Matthew 25, “I was thirsty and you gave Me to drink”.  

We are putting our “next mission” together each day.  We are gathering parts to make more Rescuers.  Yesterday, I was speaking with Larry, who has lent us his genius regarding the electronic components.  We are continually gathering more parts as the funds come available.  Our little mission aircraft is getting closer to being ready to leap in the air with life-saving parts and personnel.

Regarding the current cholera situation, I will quote Dr. Crandall, who recently traveled to Haiti: ““Cholera is going to be there for years,” he said. “It’s not going to be something that is going to disappear. So we have many people that are dying. This form of cholera is the most virulent form, the most toxic form. You can die within four hours, so these people are in desperate need of treatment.”  This is the reason we are diligently seeking to get back to Haiti and do all we can in our “little corner of the world”.

Today, I have asked our key advisors over to our new home and we’ll be praying and seeking His direction for the days ahead.  Folks, a number of you who read this little “rambling” blog came and helped to build our new home.  All I can say is….this home must look something like I would find in heaven!  It is so beautiful and made with such love and is just exactly what Cindy and our children wanted.  It is truly a gift from people who love us.  This love comes from the Lord!  Again, THANK YOU!!

Well, it’s time to get ready for the meeting.  Love you!!
