Missionary Flights International has been serving missionaries in Haiti for as long as I can remember. My parents counted on them when they were missionaries in Haiti. Now, MFI is turning their energy to the Gulf Coast. I received this email from MFI’s president, Dick Snook:

MFI has picked up the ball in S. Florida to help the Gulf Coast. We have begun to collect relief items and in fact, there is a truck load of supplies arriving in Mobile Alabama at noon today. (Sunday) Eleven thousand pounds of supplies arrived at our warehouse on Friday and Saturday morning, so we loaded a 26 foot truck and it headed out. MFI is open on Labor Day to accept goods. We expect the planes to begin flying to the Gulf Coast on Tuesday. On Thursday we will fly a survey team to Hammond, LA to investigate the damage. A local church plans to send a work team to that area every month for the next 6 months to help rebuild families lives. Please go to the MFI website (www.MissionaryFlights.org) and see the latest update. You may be too far away to drop off supplies but you can go on line and make a donation to MFI to help us pay for fuel for the deliveries.
