The Haiti Team (Matt, Barry, Kevin, Christy, Laura M, Sean, Wayne, Rene & Laura G) left LAX on Sunday evening amid a flurry of bag reorganizing. Our goal was to take the maximum number of bags allowed (2 checked plus pay extra for a third), however American Airlines just recently placed an embargo on boxes & the third bag. Thanks to a wonderful ticket agent who graciously worked with us, we were able to repack our overloaded 26 bags into 18 and then just pay for overweight bags. The team all helped in this initial task and they worked well together.
They should be arriving in Haiti very soon this morning and will then wade through immigration and customs with a load of medical supplies, tools, and hygiene kits from a local girl scout troop.
The team will be focused on doing building projects, medical and VBS ministry.
Glad to know that the team was able to work out so many details at the airport here and there. May our Lord and Savior give them all the energy, strength and wisdom to do the necessary work. Also come back to the USA safe and sound.
