Aaaand they're back!
The Haiti team has safely arrived back in Pittsburgh! Can't wait to see everyone and hear their stories :)
Since internet was not accessible in Haiti, I'm hoping to receive some videos from the team in the coming weeks. Please check back to see them!

Safe at the hotel
The team has safely arrived at the Comfort Inn in Fort Lauderdale, Florida! Mike said everyone is doing well, and they are enjoying the hotel pool :)
As long as everything goes as planned tomorrow, here is the flight info, and pick-up directions:
*The team will be taking Southwest flight#580 from FLL to PIT, tomorrow morning. They will take off at 7:50am and arrive back in Pittsburgh at 12:30pm.
*Parents and spouses, you have the option of picking up at the airport at 12:30, OR meeting them at the church parking lot at 2pm. Please communicate with your children or spouse on what you plan to do.
Praise God that everyone is back on US soil, safe and sound! Thank you so much for faithfully following this blog, and for praying for our team. The stories the team will share with us have surely had an eternal impact! What a privilege to be a part of what God is doing in Haiti through prayer.
Thank you, again, church family!

Landed in Miami
Just received a text from Mike that the team has safely landed in Miami! They will be heading to Fort Lauderdale shortly where they will spend the night. I will post when they have arrived at the hotel.
Thank you, church family, for praying for their safe return!

In Flight
Hi everyone. The entire team is currently in flight from Port-au-Prince, Haiti to Miami! I will keep you updated as I hear when they land in Florida and are on their way to Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for praying! They are so thankful to be on their way home after so many flight changes!
Flight change
Hi everyone! Just talked with Jeff Arnold and some changes have been made with the flights home. This is to be expected when traveling internationally. Jeff assured me that everyone is in great health, and doing fine with the changes!
Instead of a flight from Cap Haitien to Fort Lauderdale, the team will now be flying from Cap Haitien to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The team is split into two groups for this flight. One group is already in flight to Port-au-Prince, and the other should hopefully be taking off within the hour.
***UPDATE - it looks like there will be 3 or more flights from Cap Haitien to Port-au-Prince. Eight more team members are getting on a flight now, and about 12 or 13 are left in Cap Haitien to wait for another flight. Mike Koepfer is waiting in Cap Haitien with the remaining team members.***
From Port-au-Prince, the team will fly to Miami and then take a 45 minute bus ride to Fort Lauderdale for the night.
Please be praying that all these changes will be smooth, and that everyone will arrive safely in Fort Lauderdale. Pray that the team would have patience, and continued good health, as they have a lot of travel ahead of them. Here is a picture of everyone waiting in the Cap Haitien airport.
I will update as soon as I am able!
