Productive day and prayer request

Went to visit Dennis McCutcheon at Vine International warehouse. Wow! What a tremendous facility and what a great ministry for the Lord. They gave us some generous donations of medical supplies which will come on very handy right now. Budgets are tight and there is always need.

The prayer request is that the pallets of materials they have ready to go to Haiti will be released by the government here. They have some critical supplies of antibiotics, latex gloves etc. that are in short supply in Haiti since the disaster. Please pray that the right buttons are pushed and the goods are released without onerous tariffs.

Also, please pray that the donations of medical supplies continue to be shipped from the USA. They have a unique and incredibly low cost process to ship missionary and medical materials to this needy country. They have been doing it for something like 20 years. Nearly usurious tariffs make it extremely difficult to get materials in and out of the country. You would think they would be more sensitive to the needs of the poor, but in a country of such rampant corruption, officials make bad decisions. Anyway, pls pray for Vine International and their ministry here in Guatemala.
