Wonderful 2 Days

Brian was back home for 2 days. It was wonderful to see that he was well and that the tip of his finger that was stitched back on had healed nicely. Still hurts at times and can't feel with it, but hopefully that'll come back with time.

We got quite a bit of catch up work done and then had some play time. Went and saw the movie AVATAR which was quite well done, had breakfast at Denny's one night (had been craving that), and had some cuddling time on the couch.

He and Brad are now in Haiti, after a weekend MGM board members meeting, distributing tents and medical supplies. Norm returned to the DR to host more spring break groups, which I hear is going very well. Way to go MannaDR team and colleges groups!!

I'm so thankful to have Shawnean and Jono staying with us. It's been a blessing during these long trips of Brian's.

Way Different!

I hit the pavement and boy is it different from the treadmill.


Time was slower.

Distance was shorter.

Muscles were sorer.

Have a changed attitude about the treadmill!!

MGM Update of Haiti Relief Efforts

Manna Global Ministries, 2/28/2010 

We wanted to give you an update since our last email. 

1. With partners (Estes Church of Christ, Christian Relief Fund and One5) we have transported close to 40 tons of food, water and supplies to Port-Au-Prince.

2. With Global Samaritan, Harding University, Son Light Children's Home, Christian Relief Foundation, we are transporting approximately 5,000 tents and close to 8 tons of medical supplies to be distributed over the coming days. 

3. Facilitated the coordination of acute/trauma, post-operative, and specialized medical care at Haiti Community Haiti (HCH). 

4. Transported close to 2 tons of medicines to HCH and Son Light Children's Home.

5. Coordinated three work groups to help Roberta and transported several medical and work teams from the Dominican Republic to Haiti. 

6. Provided direct care of children who are vulnerable and orphaned.

Brad, Brian and Norm were supposed to meet in Lagosette this weekend, but Brad returned home to be with Monica in the death of her grandmother, so their meeting will have to be rescheduled. Please keep the Gautneys in your prayers during this time. 

We now hope to meet in Florida the second week of March, so we will be in touch of our future plans to help those in Haiti.

It is so important that we do not forget about the lost, the hurting, and the hungry in Haiti. Also keep those who are hurting in Chili after the strong earthquake that hit there this morning.

Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement and donations!
