We will be dispersing another $4,000 this week. Things are leveling out a bit, but those delivering the supplies can't make too big of a splash due to the dire needs. The good news is that many are being helped, and I'm hearing of an increasing number of groups (many I know personally)  who are spreading out into the devastated regions delivering food and supplies.

I'm still waiting on pictures, someone stole their camera in broad daylight. Thanks again for all of your help--let's not turn off the spigot now! Following is a report from Bill Landis of YWAM--he is married to a girl (Valerie) from Rapid City. I'll also be looking into partnering with them some, as they now have the means of shipping goods on a large scale:

Seven trailers were delivered to our campus full of medical supplies, food, tents, mattresses, clothing etc. Many of these supplies will be delivered to various locations with partnering ministries and orphanages beginning today and this weekend. Others will need to be sorted and organized for distribution amongst the volunteers currently working at our mission campus.

The ship carrying these supplies arrived Sunday. Although the government expressed that these items would roll off the ship and be released immediately to meet the need of the earth quake victims, this was not the case. Yet, after four days of working the fine details, this aid was released in record speed compared to past experiences.
