Thank you...
for all your prayers and messages over the last week. After 36 hours of travelling from Uganda, Sam made it safely to Florida and was straight into work last Monday morning. No time for any jet lag, straight into joining the MAF team that is coordinating getting the relief supplies and people from a base in Florida to the Bahamas.
Mission Flights International normally run two flights a week to Haiti in their DC3. Sam and his colleagues are now helping MFI to run 2 flights a day in the DC3 and another 2 - 3 flights a day in a borrowed Cessna 208 Caravan. It is a huge logistical task to move tons of relief supplies that are being brought to the MFI hangar and the growing number of teams wanting to travel to the Bahamas to join the recovery efforts.
Please continue to pray for those who lost everything 21 days ago. The level of devastation is beyond belief.
Please pray these planes continue to fly without any technical difficulties so they can keep up the high pace of flights each day.
Please pray for all the volunteers who are working tirelessly to sort, pack and arrange all the relief supplies so they can be flown accross to the Bahamas.
Please pray for the MAF team and so many other organisations on the ground who are working to distribute all the aid.
Sam will be heading out to the Bahamas this week. Please pray for continued strength, energy, wisdom and grace as he continues to give his all, alongside his fellow team mates.
On the home front, the girls are doing well. Missing Daddy but they have a good understanding of why he is away. In the words of Becca - 'Daddy has gone to save everybody' Oh to be 5 years old!
Rachel received a 'Fruit of the spirit' award in Chapel at school on Friday for showing love to her friends. One happy girl.
And Becca is finding comfort in the puppies in the absence of Daddy cuddles. She has actually been struggling with a cold this week so feeling a little weary!
