The Logistics
A team of men from HCBC left today for Haiti via the Dominican Republic. Bob King is leading this team to support Mission of Hope Haiti and scope out future missions and redevelopment projects for this ministry.
Please pray for safe travels, and for God to open opportunities for the Gospel to be shared with the broken and hurting.
Today especially: Please pray for pathways to open for them to purchase the vehicles needed to help with distribution of supplies. They discovered this morning that a national holiday begins today in the Dominican Republic where they land this evening, and where they intended to purchase vehicles to drive to Haiti!
Please pray that our team would be a source of strength and encouragement to the folks who have been on the ground since the earthquake, and that God’s supernatural strength and energy would infuse them all to save lives and help mend wounded hearts.
Bob and the team will be blogging and as soon as his blog is up and running, we will provide you with the link so you can follow their mission.
The men on this trip include:
Bob King: our intrepid adventurer and senior team leader
Wayne Baker: licensed professional counselor with expertise in trauma work and international business.
Matthew Flippen and Jonathan Patton: 3rd world experience, business administration, entrepreneurial and creative thinkers, strategic and logistics problem solvers.
Ray Lindner: President of the National Coast Guard Association, military logistics and distribution background, large airport management background. 3rd world experience and HCBC PF member.
On Saturday, we will begin sending medical teams and supplies. We will provide more details as they become available on how you and your ministry teams can support these efforts. Our website will be updated today with all this information. Please familiarize yourself with it and take a look at the Mission of Hope Haiti website and NBC news story as well if you missed it the other day.
