Friends,

We know that many of you have been following news reports since yesterday detailing how a Spirit Airlines flight was struck by gunfire while attempting to land in Port-au-Prince. Many of you also know that upon further inspection it was found that a Jet Blue aircraft was also struck.

Today the FAA effectively grounded all air traffic from the USA to Haiti.

We do not know exactly what this will mean in the days ahead, but we can tell you the following with assurance:

• Becky will not be traveling to Haiti this week as planned. Becky will store the packages you had sent for your children and get them to Haiti as soon as possible.

• Steeve will not be coming to the US later this month as planned.

• Just like commercial aircraft, MFI can not fly. Please do not mail any more packages until directed to do otherwise as MFI will not be able to get them to PAP.

What can you do?

• You can continue to pray for our friends in Haiti as we all hope together for a better future.

• You can sign up to teach a class via Google Meet as we did in the spring. It appears schools in Haiti will also be closed again for the foreseeable future. If by Monday we do not see a change in circumstances, we will begin sending information on signing up to teach.

Thank you for your partnership in ministry whether you are a new partner or you’ve been with us from the beginning. By God’s grace and with your support we are still able to operate today, despite all of the adversity.
