We are overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of support we are receiving. God is blessing in all aspects. We are steadily increasing the funds we will be taking with us (remember everything over and above our immediate needs is going to be left to continue the relief work after we return). We have been thoroughly bathed in prayer today. Please KEEP praying. We were also blessed by the MAPS KIDS ( a missions oriented youth program at our church) with wordless bracelets to take with us to minister to children in Haiti for them. We are surrounded by caring, praying men women AND children.

We are still waiting for finalized lists of needed supplies, but have a good idea of what is needed if the actual list fails to appear.

We did find out that we no longer have a strict 50 pound weight limit. We can now take 100 pounds each plus our carry on luggage. There is a size limit however, on baggage going into Santo Domingo that we will probably have to abide by. We do plan to call the baggage handlers at JFK tomorrow to see if there is any chance of leniency on those restrictions at present. It can't hurt to try.

We have our prescriptions for the antimalarials and preventive antibiotics and will be filling them in the next 2 days. Some of the meds have to be ordered in as they aren't commonly prescribed around here. :)

The whirlwind really begins tomorrow as we try to keep up with work schedules and still stay on top of trip preparations. Pray for clarity in thinking of all the minute details we need to remember and take care of in the next 4 days. Friday will be here quickly.

E'Tienne's week is as crazy as ours with work and packing etc. Keep her in your prayers also.

God is in control, and we rest in Him.
Tim and Cindy
