Planning Return Trip to Haiti

We're hoping and planning to take a team to Haiti during the month of May to do some rebuilding and repair. Hopefully we'll be able to take in some supplies for orphans, etc. Some of the things that we're working on right now are: 1-Help for Genese Pompee, the earthquake victim that we transported to the American hospital near Port-au-Prince. We're looking for help to get prosthetics and physical therapy for her, possibly here in the U.S. 2-We plan to ship 100 tents (the funds have been donated for those tents) to Haiti right away to give relief to some of our Haitian families who are having to stay outside their homes. 3-I'm talking with a couple of different businessmen who may be able to provide us with a large tent for the main church in Port. One of them has promised to give us a tent 40' X 60'. 4-We're continuing to raise funds so that when our team(s) goes there we'll have funds to be able to purchase needed supplies. Part of the team will be hiking up to Bwa-Dom with Pastor Pierre and the rest will be working in Port and tenting at night at Pastor Simon's. Pray for direction for our work teams. We need some skilled masonry workers, carpenters, and laborers, etc. Pray that we will have all of the skills needed for the work we'll be doing.
