Well, after 26 long and exhausting hours, Andrea finally made it back to Tennessee on Saturday. I had to take a military flight, a bus ride, a comercial flight, and finally a rental car, but I am grateful I made it! While I am here in Tennessee, I will be speaking at churches or groups who want to hear about Haiti, the quake, and help us raise funds to rebuild. If you want me to come and speak, please email me ASAP at ReachHaiti@gmail.com or call me at (865) 230-8750. I am also coordinating teams who want to come down and help us rebuild geinning in mid-February. If you or anyone you know if interested in coming down, please email us ASAP at ReachHaiti@gmail.com. Mike and the kids are doing well. We also have two friends from West Tennessee, Diane and Jessica, who are helping us with the kids right now. We tried to get Marilyn a medical visa before I left but were unsuccessful. We are still trying though so please be praying she can come back soon! We received some great news from a few doctors at Vanderbilt Hospital who want to treat her as soon as she gets here. We know God can work a way for her to get here quickly! Continue to pray for Marilyn as she is still fighting for her life.

This is the property we are purchasing.

We have found another piece of property that we are in the process of purchasing that is still located in the mountains. The other piece didn’t work out legally right now but God has sent us a new piece which we are very happy with. Mike is meeting tomorrow with the property owner and the notary, and we will hopefully have everything finished by this week. The price will be around $10,000 US but it is much bigger. We are also working on the plans for phase 1 of our building. The estimate is around $25,000. If you would like to donate towards either, please make a one-time donation to the right of this page. We were able to rent another house last week which is large enough for us, the kids, and our teams who come down.

Please continue to pray for us and for Haiti. Although this has been a terrible tragedy, we are also starting to see God move in miraculous ways! We have had great outpourings in church and in prayer. We have also heard several powerful stories from our friends who survived the quake by God’s grace. Although we are having to start over, the Lord has been providing all we need. We also want to thank all of you for all the support and prayers. God bless you all!
