This is a video we found the other night on Youtube. We don't know which passenger did it, but were very moved at their appreciation for the work MFI does. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Go Harold! What an overwhelming amount of need and work.
First your title was cute. Second, those poor people and the sights that Harold must see. He must feel such a sense of accomplishment at times, and other times overwhelmed at the need of all these people. We are so very blessed, even during these horrible economic times, we really don't know what hardship is.
What a blessing your husband's work is to hurting people! God bless you both as you give of yourselves to His kingdom.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. What an incredible difference MFI is making in the lives of so many needy people. Blessings on your work!!
Loved the title too!!! Those pictures really bring it home, especially the heart breaking one of the small child asleep alone under the makeshift tent.
God bless Harold and the other Pilots of the Caribbean...and their wives who wait patiently at home keeping things humming smoothly as their husbands are out doing God's work!
WOW! Like Kimberly said, There's a LOT of NEED in this world...so Glad there are those like your Harold to do what they can to help. Neat video.
I don' know what orders the doctor gave Jimmy, but I know that they said that the retina does not want to stay attached. Thanks for your prayers and concern for him.
May the Lord continue to bless this ministry!!!
