Hello!

Quick update: Marlaine left for the Dominican Republic late last night and arrived in Santo Domingo at 4am. She met up with Bob Jones and they headed to Pedernales, the port city in the southwest of the DR. There, they purchased close to 30,000lbs of food and supplies to load on the navy vessel heading to Jacmel. The ship is not yet full so they were unable to sail for Jacmel tonight. Pray that more organizations get supplies to the ship or that we are able to purchase more to load on the ship! As of now, the ship can take on an additional 25,000lbs.

Once in Haiti, the plan is for Marlaine to stay a few days to oversee distribution and assess current and longterm needs. Bob Jones will also be remaining in Haiti for some time. And as you know, Daniel has been in Haiti for the past week and will be staying for a few more weeks. He has been able to travel to Port-au-Prince and different areas in the country, so he will have much to share when he gets back!

Please keep their travels and activities in your prayers! Pray that the ship is able to leave for Jacmel as soon as possible.

God bless!
