"Bucketfuls of Hope" are Being Delivered.

Saturday Pressure has been high but that's ok, "this too shall pass". We've been pretty busy building "Bucketfuls of Hope" with our Church. We finished 100 and are beginning on the next 100. The challange was sending them to Haiti and getting them into the right hands. Security there has been a major issue. Also, there is no gasoline to deliver them to the Churches. A fellow missionary, Wes Lane, who speaks criole, went in to secure transportation, make contact, find a warehouse and security. He finally contacted Tom, so Tom with a team of 4 men, in two trucks, left last night - Friday. He called me Sat. morning to let me know they were crossing the border. He said they were tired but had a plan. They were carrying the 5 gal. buckets, lots of fuel, construction tools and lots of medical supplies. They went very well prepared material wise but most of all because they are covered with everyones prayers. His plan is to be back by Saturday 30th. I'll be solo for about a week, and although I'll get alot done I'd rather be next to him and already miss him, but I'm happy that were able to serve the Lord and be used by Him. Sunday I just talked to Tom on the phone. They are camped out in front of the church,Legliz Baptiste Solidarite on a patio/court. Tom will be preaching this morning there on "Making the Impossible Possible". He said the pastor and his wife are safe. Several in the congregation were hurt but none fatally. The Church building is destroyed as well as the pastors home. The food and medical supplies came at a much needed time. Tom can be reached at 1-809-434-6571. Keep praying. Regina franklin
