It needed an initiator, an organizer, and a facilitator.  God provided all three in the persons of three Seventh-day Adventists from the Bermuda Conference.  

On Tuesday, church member Lois Wilson heard of a benefactor that was offering his plane to the Red Cross and the Bermuda Government.  She made a request and God made available a 12-seater private jet to Haiti, free of charge.  Lois then approached church member Phillip Rego, whose Feed My Lambs Ministry in Haiti had garnered enormous support from the Bermuda public long before the earthquake. “There is a plane ready to take you, a medical team, and supplies toHaiti," Lois told Phillip. "And it will be ready to leave on Sunday.”  Hallelujah - but surely there was not enoughtime. 

Phillip contacted church member Stanley James, M.D. (Loma Linda University). He agreed to gather together a team of Bermudian surgeons and nurses.  There was still a cherry on the cake.  They wanted a young person to be involved, and they found one: twenty-two year-old Erin Lovell, church member and daughter of Mrs. Dana Lovell and Lieutenant Dana Lovell, Commander of the Bermuda Fire Service.  Erin had given exceptional volunteer service in Haiti before; she was more than ready to go again. 

Bermuda General Agency, suppliers of Bermuda’s pharmacies, provided as many medical supplies as the plane could hold.  A miracle had taken place.  We thank God for the initiator, theorganizer, and the facilitator; but we praise Him for the benefactor, the Bermudian philanthropist - and the Author and the Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ.  May He now send to accompany the group in Haiti the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.
