I really like slogans involving food and candy in particular. I’m not really sure why I do, but I do. OK, here’s a quick update for you and I promise it will be quick because I’m exhausted and about to fall asleep.
Praise God…AIM now has two more vehicles (technically…I do since they’re in my name right now but I don’t think they’d appreciate me selling them to pay off my loans!!). This morning, I met up with Miguel and Juan and the three of us spent the day getting the right truck and van. Then we had to get insurance, tires, oil changes, flooring, replace a belt and make sure all of that was for the right price. When was the last time you walked to a dealership in the morning and bought two vehicles you hadn’t ever seen before by lunch? haha, crazy days. God again showed Himself faithful and it’s getting to be funny at times. A woman owned the van we bought today for years. She used to use it to bring kids to school but hasn’t been driving it for the past year and a half. Well, a few days ago she contacted the dealership and said she had a van but didn’t know if anyone would be interested in it. That was about the time we all started praying for another van because the airport started jacking the prices for rentals to about 1400 dollars a week.
Steph and Bobby got in from Haiti today safely! Most of their team got in safely as well. Two of them were bumped in Atlanta and I’ll have to take care of them tomorrow and drop them off in Fond Parision on my way to Port au Prince Monday.
Please be praying for continued favor, safety and provision.
Also, I’ve been asked to consider taking a position with AIM down here in Haiti for the time being. I have a commitment to speak at a youth retreat in early March in Washington that I intend to honor and a graduation speaking event in mid May. However, I’m leaning towards coming back down here and helping transition the long term team and get them set up and in the right direction in the meantime. Please be praying for guidance and clarity with where He wants me. Also, if this happens I’d need some financial support while down here and maybe help with paying loans while away since I don’t really have money or a job…I humbly ask you to pray about if that is something you would want to invest in and encourage me with. Even more importantly, I will need prayer support. If you want to be receiving more in depth prayer requests please let me know. I appreciate those of you who have already been helping me and supporting me!!! You spur me on.
OK…time to sleep a bit!
Thank you for being a blessing
