MIA Haiti 2011 Team On Their Way

Pastor Doenges led a devotional and prayer for the team

The Team minus 1 - Dianne was picked up on the way to the airport

Beginning at 1:00 am today the team and drivers began to assemble at Immaneul.  Bags were weighed again to see if we could squeeze one more thing in.  Once weighed they were accounted for and loaded into the Young's van. Thanks to the other drivers, not everything had to be loaded into this van.  It has been taking team luggage to the airport now for many years and needs to be loaded carefully these days.

Once all was packed, we headed in to the Sanctuary on time for a devotional by Pastor Doenges.  This is such an important part of beginning.  I think this is the first year in quite some time where all the team minus 1 was present at the church.  There are 20 team members in all!

The weather was fine, traffic was nil and the ride was fine!  Prayers that the second half of the team's flight to Haiti is just as wonderful.  They leave Miami at 1:55pm today to arrive in Port au Prince at 4:00 pm.  Haiti is in the same timezone as Michigan but the weather quite a bit different!  It is set to be 84 and sunny for today & tomorrow.
