These men (Jon, Jeremy, and Rick) are currently driving through the night toward New York City (they’re in our prayers, especially considering they’ve been working all day and are driving through ice storm conditions).

All in all, from 3:30pm Tuesday up till 7pm Wednesday–Rockford and neighboring communities helped Morning Star gather 118 boxes full of medical supplies and formula (approx. $250,000 worth!). The plan now is to drive the donations to NYC to be taken with a team of Haitian medical personnel to three clinics in Haiti. Delta Airlines has approved the medical team to carry for free as many supplies as they can gather by the time their flight departs Friday morning.

So “Team Haiti” has hit the road to NYC…and it seems it will be icy and long. But while we pray for their safety, we are also overwhelmed by the blessing that they were able to carry so much out with them. Morning Star people, local hospitals and clinics, local media stations, classmates, neighbors, coffee houses, retirement communities of Rockford—THANK YOU for your proactive generosity. Several people faraway sent unexpected financial donations online, totalling about $400, which will be very helpful toward financing this road trip and toward future Global Grace endeavors. THANK YOU.
