Jan. 20th. So yo have found our blog. We will try to at least update this once a day for the next couple of weeks so everyone knows what is going on. This journey began Sunday night at around 7:30. Apparently we had both been thinking of going to Haiti but we had not serioulsy discussed. Tim had spent Sunday looking at web sites without any real direction. Cindy had a friend send her a website Sunday for a group already in Haiti that was looking for volunteers. After looking at the website we sent out an email to them requesting more info and they responded within 30 minutes reqeusting us to leave on the 23rd. We replied that it was a little quick. The next morning they had again e-mailed us and asked if we could leave on the 30th with a medical team. Our reply was yes. Monday was busy with arranging work schedules and starting fund raising. We have been able to get the time off from work and now are waiting to make travel arrangements. We are tenatively leaving around the 30th. There is still difficulty with the airlines that has to be worked thru.

Many of you have already asked how you can help. The first thing is with prayer. We will need alot of it. We cannot do this on our own. 2nd is financial. Needless to say we weren't planning this trip in our budget. The cost is approximately $3000.00 Because of the quickness of this trip you can either donate to us or we are trying to get something set up thru church so that it can be tax deductible. Hopefully that will be worked out later today. We are also going to need medical supplies and will let you know what that is when we have a list. We will try to post again later today with more details and will include the website of the orphange and the group that we will be working with.
Tim and Cindy,.
