many of the group arrive home safely

We were greeted at the New Danville church last evening aroung 9:45 PM by a enthusiastic group of people. It was great to feel the support of so many people in various ways. Thank You!

The travel through Haiti and Santo Domingo went well, and there was a lot to see. Border crossings, flight arrangements, customs and immigration process's went very well.

The flight from Santo Domingo to New York was smooth and uneventful. A computer display on the seat backs showed us travelling at around 38,000 feet at over 500 mph, with an outside temperature of around -50 degrees farenheight. When we got on the bus at the airport there was a ice chest with sandwiches, drinks, fruit, and Whoopie Pies. We enjoyed that very much after two days of travelling and eating at unusual times and sometimes skipping meals. Thanks Naomi. After travelling Tuesday for 8 hours in a minivan packed with 11 people, we were very glad to travel more comfortably in McMichaels bus. Thanks Elvin and Mary and Carl!

Linford, Darren, Duane Stoner, Shirley and John are still not home. Today they are traveling, and I would guess that as I write this they have traveled through Haiti and are somewhere in the Dominican Republic and may arrive at the YWAM base in Santo Domingo between 2 and 3 PM today. Tomorrow they plan to fly from Santo Domingo at 1:35 PM and are expected in New York between 4 and 5 PM. I suspect Carl will take the Executive Coach bus to pick them up.

Please continue to pray for the people in Haiti that are residents, and for those that went to help meet the needs of the people. There is much to do and the work will not be easy. As Jesus said: "when you have done it for the least of these, you have done it for me".

Thank you
