Becky Ivy called and said we were invited to Brecia College to share with some students and staff during their lunch hour. The staff had arranged a hotdog, chips, cookie and drink luncheon. They emailed all the downtown businesses and put out flyers on cars in the entire neighborhood inviting them to come eat lunch or take out and all the proceeds were going to Global Outreach Earthquake fund. Becky and I also had about 30 minutes to share with those in the dining hall. Hubert Powers....a local photographer who had been to Haiti a few years ago...had his collection of Haiti pictures on display in the foyer.
The UPS truck arrived at the airport hanger about 2:50pm Mid America Airpart has allowed us the use of the hanger for collecting and boxing the pallets of supplies to be shipped. We've also had the services of some of their employees to help us with the forklift for loading all the items. They have been so gracious.
Becky and I had the opportunity last night to have dinner and speak with the Baptist Women's group of Mt Carmel Baptist Church. Bro. Frank...the pastor....decided to come with his wife. This church has been involved for years with sending supplies, teams and sponsoring many school children.
My phone started ringing early this morning with so many people wanting to come on teams. We are asking people to give us a couple of weeks before doing any scheduling. Our staff in Haiti is so overworked with the immediate it is difficult for them to plan ahead. We are so blessed that so many want to come.
