I have been meaning to start blogging again regularly so here it is short but sweet.

In September of 2010, GO Ministries had all kinds of proper paperwork to send a container of Haiti Relief items from medicine to hospital equipment across the border. Getting that across took seventy-five days with twenty-five of those days being spent in the city of Port-au-Prince visiting office after office. The container finally crossed even after a last minute snag of a truck driver not having his passport.

Today we went to the border literally on a wing and a prayer and the 864 boxes of medicine went across the border in about 6 hours.

As I reflect on what caused it to get across so much easier, I think it is living for God. When GO does things, we do it as best as we can the way God wants. We have this reputation at the border crossing in Dajabon / Ouanaminthe. When people see us they smile.

Today was not an easy day but the goals to get the medicine across and, as always, share the love of Christ were reached. That medicine will be put to use as people fight off the terrible effects of cholera.

The disease, while easily preventable and also curable, is still deadly. If not treated rapidly a person could die within 24 hours. If a person is treated properly there is a very high percentage of people who live. It is an ugly disease that can simply dehydrate you so rapidly that your body has no chance to function properly on various levels.

Thanks so much for your prayers and for assisting us to aid the Haitian people in their fight against the tough disease of cholera! We are winning!
