...and a Baby Step Backward...

This morning, I got word that, in fact, our trailer was NOT on the ship that sailed for Haiti yesterday. While our paperwork was in perfect order, there was a glitch somewhere else that delayed the release of our trailer from the port until next Wednesday, March 24. We don't know why this happened, and to be honest, we are a bit disappointed, but we do know that God is in control of the timing of this whole project and we trust Him to get this aid to the people of Cotes de Fer exactly when they need it.

In that vein, we are going to let God worry about that issue and we will continue doing what we have been doing- collecting tents, tarps, blankets, sheets and hygiene items to load into our second trailer.

We have partnered with the WordFM 88.9, our local Christian radio station, to work together at this process. If you go to their website at www.wordfm.org, you will see all the drop-off locations where donations are being accepted. We'd ask you to patronize these businesses as a way of saying "thank you" to them for working with us and also, when you do, drop something off to send down to Haiti!

When you are at the WordFM's website, you can also listen to the podcast we recorded a couple of weeks ago. Look for "Moms Helping Haiti" and then let us know what you think! We'd love to hear from you, either by posting a comment here or emailing us at tentsforhaiti@hotmail.com

Please keep praying for the people of Haiti and for this project, that we can be the hands & feet of Jesus! Thanks!
