Here is an email from my brother in law Paul who is flying for us in Haiti. I am so proud of him and extremely grateful for his servant's heart.
This is in response to the local newspaper asking for information.
My wife Marie mentioned you wanted to talk to me about the conditions in Haiti.I am flying a King Air 90 for Agape Flight which is based in Venice FL
Arrived on Monday we are basing operation out of Santiago Dominican Republic
we make 3-4 flights a day to various airports in Haiti there are 3 airplanes and 6 pilots in our group right now
An amazing couple , Jim and Theresa White, have opened there home here in Santiago and feed us over night
US air force is controlling Port Prince airport doing great job
Haitians are leaving the city of Port Prince because of no food or water and returning to small cities in the country.These cities don't have the supplies to handle them so we are shifting our flights to small cities and letting the big aircraft go into Port Prince
Flew a team of doctors to Jacmel today, traveled into the city with the docs, parts of hospital collapsed patients on cots in the grass in the compound18 day old girl was found alive after 8 days buried. Mother was there also. soccer field with thousands of refugees waiting for more help.
they have basic food (rice and beans) and water but desperately need shelter because they can't go into their homes. plain tarps are needed!!!!!
food and water we buy here in Dominican repub and fly in medical supplies also needed.
Haitian people very friendly, thankful for the help
cash donations to Agape Flight will also help, check their credentials online,
A 13 year old girl at the soccer field in Jacmal who saw my pilot uniform asked me if I could giver her a job because her parents and siblings are all dead.had to tell her no but I would try to bring supplies tomorrow,
hard to get the supplies from the airport to the people.almost no Haitian authorities in control.
I will post more as we receive more information. The front page of the Agape site tells the story of all that we are doing at work. Please stop by the Agape site to see what God is doing.
As Lance left the house this morning, he was on his cell phone arranging for a donated semi to help transport the supplies we have to the DC6 in Miami which we have leased. That load of supplies should arrive on Friday in PAP.
Please keep praying for our strength and for the safety of our pilots and for the people of Haiti.
Thanks
Living victoriously in Christ, Lynn
