In Septemeber 2008, I traveled 6000 miles to Haiti's Kenscoff mountains. My mission: to care for some of the orphaned and abandoned, the sick, malnourished and premature infants of this beautiful but beleagured Caribbean nation.

Stranded

After evacuating 81 of God's Littlest Angels' children to the USA on Thursday, our group is now stranded in Miami. The US military are preventing all commercial flights, including chartered relief flights, from landing at the Port-au-Prince airport.

Dixie has been contacted by US naval Doctors. They are caring for several premature infants on their comfort ship and have asked that we admit them to GLA, where we have oxygen, incubators and the capacity to provide IV fluids and IV drugs to the fragile newborns who need the care we can provide.

As soon as we get back to Haiti, we will admit these infants. There is no-where else for them to go. We are doing all we can to get out of Miami. We may have to travel there through the Dominican Republic.

All of you who pray, please ask God to make our path straight back to Haiti. Prayers for our safety and protection would also be appreciated.

Oh Susan, I am praying that God's will is done & that his glory shines right through. I'm praying for you & Dixie, asking that God will take you back to Haiti in his time so that you may be able to continue your ministry in helping other children. He's carried you through thus far. He'll continue to do so. Keep the faith, sister. You're doing a great job.

Hoping you get back to Haiti ASAP. Why are they not letting flights in - is there still a huge backlog of flights?
