First Haiti team to go after the earthquake

Eric and Mike, ready to go....
On Tuesday, 4 men left for their trip to Haiti after the earthquake. It was Eric and Mike from Parkway, Kevin from Indiana and Jack who is the doctor who lived at the orphanage with his wife before the quake.
They got stuck in Florida until today(Saturday) because Missionary Flights couldn't get them out on one of their planes.
Until this morning at 6am...they finally got out.
I got a call from Eric about an hour ago from his satellite phone. He said they arrived, they are all fine and in transit. It was a bad connection so I'm not sure if he said they were on a bus or in a car....
He did say they were confirmed to fly back home in a week, on Saturday.
While they are there, they will try to do multiple things.
One, will be finding a new plot of land to build a new, structurally sound building on.
Secondly, they will look to buy a car for Three Angels, since getting around is almost impossible without one.
They will be paying the staff that is still there, trying to start the school again and also looking for anyone who needs medical help.
I know there's more that they'll be doing, but that's the start.
I will try and update when I hear from them.
Please pray...for their safety, for peace and strength as they see things they never have before, for them to do God's will and use them how He wants in this horrible situation and to bring them home safely.
Thank you....
Michele
