We had planned on Sunday to have Jesse, Kim, and Evie Ostrander land in Santo Domingo and drive into Haiti. It’s safe this way with no problems. We have been preparing to have a large Mobile Medical Clinic in the mountain interior next week. Due to the wave of the omicron Covid virus hitting Haiti, we decided it would be wise to cancel temporarily. So many of our staff are out sick. We’ve never seen so many sick at one time. Dr. Barthelemy needed all the doctors and nurses in the Jesus Healing Center. Pray for Haiti and we are praying for America and the world that this virus will lift.
We have plans as soon as possible to go to southern Haiti where we are building the Gabion houses for the earthquake families. Southern Haiti has no gangs. Trying to get out of Port-Au-Prince is a different story.
You will be taking your life into your hands. The gangs rule that area. We are waiting on a plane that will be available soon to take us.
I have a prayer request… Please pray the Lord would give us our own plane. This is urgent, this way we can fly to many locations we cannot get into now. We also work in the Dominican Republic among the Haitians and the Dominicans. Where we need to go in the Dominican Republic takes us anywhere from 5 to 10 hours by vehicle. By plane, it would take us between 1 and 1.5 hours! We could do so much more in the DR and Haiti if we had our own plane. Most of you don’t know but I used to have my own prop plane until we wore it out for the Lord flying into Haiti from America.
We can purchase a good used prop plane for anywhere between $150,000 and $250,000. Please pray… this is a very important need for the Lord’s work. We could accomplish so much more.
