The Army We Hope to Muster in this War Against Cholera...

I'd like to take a few minutes to introduce you to some of the groups and organizations with whom we hope to serve in pressing the fight against cholera in Haiti...



There are many devoted, highly compassionate, wonderfully loving people who are all working to preserve life and even spread the gospel of Christ throughout Haiti.

Though this list may not be complete just yet - And although some of these organizations may very well be too overloaded to contribute during this mission, these are some of the amazing people and organizations with whom we hope to wage war against cholera, reaching our hands down into the miry clay to snatch out the battered people of Haiti...

For they are an incredible and worthy people... And they are ALL part of our family.




Cary, North Carolina

Bahamas Habitat is an incredible organization that is basically a missionary air force comprised of nearly 400 pilots and aircraft that have come forward to volunteer their time and aircraft in service of our King.

Their operations extend far beyond this single mission called IV4HAITI though.  Bahamas Habitat pilots were instrumental in transportation of relief supplies, personnel, and many other critical cargo items immediately after the January earthquake.  They continue this service even up to today.

At this point in time, Bahamas Habitat Aviation and Disaster Response Coordinator Cameron King has informed us there is a veritable "air force" of 120 pilots and aircraft that are available to participate in this operation to supply the Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC's) and the Cholera Treatment Units (CTU's) all over Haiti with critical RL IV Fluids... a necessary tool in combatting and "killing" cholera. 

If we are able to muster the support from the American People, we have been assured that we have more than ample resources to transport these lifesaving medical supplies to Haiti...

If you've ever wondered what it might be like to participate in a "lifesaving humanitarian aid mission" well... Now is your chance to be on the "frontlines" - even if you are staying at home...

Remember... $100 will literally purchase the IV fluid, transport it to Haiti, and put it in the hands of the doctors and nurses that will implement it IMMEDIATELY to save the lives of 7 to 14 human beings... REAL people that would die without... Join us... Let's put these pilots at Bahamas Habitat to work!  They LOVE to fly!
From these photos, you can see that Bahamas Habitat is no stranger to the mission field... They have delivered tons and tons of lifesaving supplies.  They have made themselves a "conduit of life" for more human lives than they will probably every admit. 
Together we can put their aircraft in the air, and en route to Haiti loaded out with lifesaving medical supplies... I ask you to consider this... seriously... and join us in this war on cholera!








Venice, Florida

The Agape Flights Mission is simple, and completely founded in serving humanity...

Agape Flights is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Christian aviation ministry transporting continuous and critical supplies to support missionaries, their families and their unique missions.

Agape is committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through the missionaries it serves.


These are "air warriors" of Christ... Their name literally means "God's Love Flights" as "agape" is a word demonstrating God's perfect love...

Nearly thirteen million people live in the areas regularly reached by Agape’s flights to Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.

The critical supplies transported to over 300 missionaries, their families, and their missions are used to change lives, one person at a time.



Each year, Agape Flights touches the lives of over one million men, women, and children through its affiliated missionaries who provide clean water, community health, education, evangelism, medical services, micro enterprise, orphan care, and vocational training.

They operate flights out of Venice, FL, delivering daily, medical, and relief supplies to their member/partner missionaries all over the Caribbean.   



We are hoping that those missionaries might be connected with or actually inherent parts of currently established medical missions and/or cholera treatment centers. 

If so, then Agape Flights may very well be able to assist us with the transportation of these lifesaving IV fluids... working alongside Bahamas Habitiat to deliver these supplies to Haiti for distribution.

Agape Flights is another organization that simply LOVES to fly! 


If you join our ranks on the IV4HAITI Mission, you may very well be keeping the Agape pilots and crews working diligently to supply their partner missionaries with lifesaving medical supplies throughout haiti.

Click "DONATE" today!  Help us fight this war on cholera!  Together we can save the lives of many battered people who would be lost without our having reached out a loving hand.

Join us and allow yourself to literally feel the Consequence of Compassion...




Children of Hope Orphanage and Hospice
Thomazeau, Haiti

The owners/coordinators of this orphanage, Bobby and Lourdie Toussaint, have offered to assist with distribution of supplies by whatever means they can. 

Currently, there are 50+ orphaned children that reside at this orphanage.  We spent a great deal of time here when we were in Haiti in November of this year. 

Bobby & Lourdie Toussaint

We are sponsors of this orphanage, and hope to be considered a part of the CHOH family as we continue to serve with them for many years to come.












CHOH kids singing "I Am Not Forgotten"

Bobby and Lourdie are humble servants who do anything and everything they can each and everyday to care for both the children God has put in their loving hands and for all the people of the small town of Thomazeau where the orphanage is located. 

They are lovingly compassionate people who work daily to care for any and all who cross their paths. 

We are also working to assist the Children of Hope Orphanage and Hospice with the difficult task of seeking out and securing sponsorship to provide the funding necessary to operate the orphanage and care for the more than 50 children that now reside there.

Bobby has a flatbed truck at his disposal that he has stated could be implemented to pick up cases of IV fluids at the airport and assist in distributing these lifesaving fluids to cholera treatment centers (CTCs) that are in dire need of these fluids even now...

 

Townsend, Tennessee and Port au Prince, Haiti

Church of the Cove is an incredibly faithful group following Christ in all that they do. 

We had the opportunity to serve beside several members of this God fearing, humanity loving congregation while we were in Haiti. 


The COTC Guesthouse in Port au Prince


All of us, including the Church of the Cove members stayed at the guest house maintained and operated by fulltime Church of the Cove Missionaries Greg and Michelle Roberts, who live in Port au Prince with their two loving Christ following children Dustin and Ashton. 

They are a family of believers in Christ who are constantly allowing themselves to be used as our Father's Hands and Feet throughout Haiti.





The Roberts Family

We are hoping to work with the Roberts family to effectively distribute the lifesaving IV fluids that will be flown into Haiti by, God willing, both Agape Flights and Bahamas Habitat. 

Greg and Michelle have become more than accustomed to the terrain and the "gridlock" that is Port au Prince - Having them as part of such an operation will only make it flow more smoothly, and move much more quickly than without their astute ability to operate in an environment like that which is currently Haiti...







Concord, North Carolina and Aquin, Haiti

Project 127 has an orphanage called the Hope House which is located in Aquin. 

They also have a well drilling rig which is to be transported to Haiti from North Carolina in the first days of 2011. 

This is an incredible tool which they hope to implement to bring clean drinking water to those without, while simultaneously bringing the good news of the imminent return of our King, Jesus Christ of Nazareth...

We hope to work beside the Project 127 staff both in the United States for staging and support as well as on the ground in Haiti when the time comes to bring these lifesaving supplies to those in need. 

Likewise, in the case of Project 127, we hope to work with them drilling wells and providing clean water sources for the Haitian people on the "back end" of the mission. 

That's all for now, folks... Please join us in this war on cholera in Haiti... And if it's not too much... I ask that you tell your friends, family, and coworkers about this mission project... Together we can save the lives of MANY who will die a very real and very horrible death without our help.

Join forces with IV4HAITI and feel the Consequence of Compassion...

Nothin' but Lovin'

Welcome to IV4HAITI - The Consequence of Compassion! JOIN US!!

Welcome to the IV 4 HAITI blog! 

Our mission is simple: SAVE LIVES IN HAITI!!!!

After my wife, Melody, and I returned to our home Wesson, Mississippi from Port au Prince, Haiti on the 14th of November, I knew for a fact that my Almighty Father was calling us to go back into His mission field in Haiti.  He revealed multiple missions of immediate consequence to us, but one really stuck out...

It didn't take long to determine that one of the most critical needs in Haiti right now is a steady supply of lifesaving medical supplies to combat and squash the cholera epidemic.

IV 4 HAITI is a humanitarian aid mission designed to secure, transport, and deliver RL IV Fluids to Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC's) and Cholera Treatment Units (CTU's) all over Haiti. 

Our objective is to accumulate enough financial support to secure, transport, and distribute a minimum of 5,000 cases of lifesaving RL IV fluids. 

Each case is comprised of 14 1 Liter IV bags that will literally save the lives of 7 to 14 victims of cholera... a disease that should never take even so many as one life.  It is easily combatted... given the proper resources.

We have established ties with several full time missionaries on the ground in Haiti, and with Bahamas Habitat to transport the IV fluids from the USA to Haiti.  Bahamas Habitat has a roster of 120 pilots and aircraft that are ready, willing, and able to assist.

We are currently communicating with Agape Flights of Venice, FL to see if their missionary partners may be positioned to request these lifesaving IV fluids as well. 

If so, Agape Flights may very well be able to assist with transportation of our precious cargo to Haiti to be delivered to and distributed by their missionary partners in addition to our primary effort with Bahamas Habitat and the network of missionaries we currently have established.

At this point in time, we have NOT begun our aggressive fundraising campaign, but we have already received donations enough to purchase 6 cases of RL IV fluids.  That means we've already got enough to save a minimum of 42 lives.  We need to secure a minimum of 100 cases to make our first flight...

The DONATE buttons are at the top right of this page... If you are interested in being the one responsible for saving up to 14 human lives today, I welcome you to "click" on through to PayPal and join our ranks!

The Haitian Government has requested $164 Million is aid... The "world" responded with a measley $6.8 Million.  That's it... A nation... An entire people cries out in chaos and critical need... The world responds with only 4.14% of what they literally NEED to fix this problem...

To me this is an obvious Call to Duty by our Almighty Father to reach down into the flame and grab up as many alive as we possibly can...

The Haitian People are suffering.  More than 2,200 have already lost their lives.  More than 94,000 have been infected.  The Ministry of Health and Population is projecting a minimum of 650,000 more reported cases over the coming 6 months.

LIVES ARE AT STAKE.  REAL lives... Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, the elderly, widows and widowers, and, yes, even the innocent infants of this nation...

This Christmas I implore one and all to literally give the gift of life... Even instead of offering gifts to one another that we don't need... and, many times, will never touch again after Christmas Day... Instead, I say reach out...

STAND UP FOR THE POOR! 

STAND UP FOR THE NEEDY!!

It is within your grasp to LITERALLY save the lives of people that will die without...

Welcome to IV4HAITI.  Please join us on this mission... The Haitian People are suffering, and many are dying... LIFE or DEATH for many is literally just one decision away... And, my dear friends, that decision is ours...
