Agape updates

Well, yesterday was another busy day at Agape. To give you a full picture I have copied from the Agape website. We are happy to report that my brother in law Paul is back in route to his family in Green Bay. We were very blessed to have him join us and have him serve with us in Haiti and DR. He flew the King Air on several trips each day as a ferry between DR and Haiti allowing the supplies to be brought to the most needed areas. We are extremely proud of him, his family and his church for borrowing Paul to us for the week. We hope he can come fly with us again. We love you, Paul!! Thank you for your service!!
Here's the Agape news from yesterday:

January 23, 2010
Since the Haiti earthquake disaster on Tuesday, January 12
Agape Flights has:

Made 54 flights

Delivered 120,000 pounds of emergency supplies

Transported 24 medical personnel to Haiti

Evacuated 1 orphan and arranged to evacuate 30 more.

Agape Flights’ King Air 90 experienced a landing incident in Jacmel , Haiti while delivering emergency supplies in response to the Haiti earthquake disaster.

The two pilots are safe and in route to the U.S.

Information is limited at this time; the damage to the plane is being assessed, but it is clear Agape Flights’ King Air 90 will not be in service for a significant time.

Since the earthquake disaster, Agape Flights has been making multiple flights each day with the use of donated and leased planes. Agape Flights continues to make Haiti relief flights to the 130 missionary families we serve in Port au Prince and regular deliveries to the other 200 missionary families we serve in Haiti , the Bahamas , and the Dominican Republic .

Thanks to Our Agape Missionary Network
Dominican Republic Missionaries served by Agape are gathering food and medical supplies for the missionaries in Haiti .
On the ground in Port au Prince Agape missionaries are meeting the planes, and unloading and dispersing the incoming supplies.

Thank you for all your prayers. One day I will sit down and write down all the projects Lance and I have been working on and the specifics of what we are doing each day, but for now it is sufficient to say that everyone has a part to play in each project. It is God that is doing all the work. He is our ALL IN ALL! (this is the song I sing when it gets rough)

You are my strength when I am weak,
you are the treasure that I seek,
you are my ALL IN ALL!
Seeking you like a precious jewel,
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my ALL in ALL!
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Rising again, I bless Your name,
You are my ALL in ALL!
When I fall down you pick me up
when I am dry you fill my cup
You are my ALL in ALL!
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worth is your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worth is your name.
Have a blessed day.
Living victoriously in Christ, Lynn for the Anderson crew
