We are seeing the Atlantic hurricane season pick-up steam lately which is to be expected since the peak months for tropical development in the Atlantic basin are August and September. While this is normal, it doesn't eliminate the incredible human impact in the Caribbean. Please pray for the people of Hispaniola today as they deal with huge amounts of rain from Tropical Storm Hanna which has stalled out just north of the island - over 10 inches of rain is forecast for an already inundated Haiti. Waiting in the wings after Hanna lie Ike and Josephine, both developing tropical storms that are projected to track westward into the Caribbean over the next week or so.

Meanwhile, we receive word that our carrier, American Airlines, has had numerous disruptions to their flight schedule into and out of Haiti as a result of these storms, and only the Lord knows if there will be any adverse impact upon our travel plans this weekend. Prayer
will make the difference! Please continue to pray for the people of this impoverished nation and for our team as we continue to finalize our preparations. The needs there are greater than ever and we trust that God will use us for His glory as we share the love of Christ with these people living in distress. Thank you and God bless you!!!
