An alternative to full body scanners-It’s got my vote!

Here’s a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the
airports. Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but
will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap
about racial profiling. This method would eliminate a long and expensive
trial. Justice would be quick and swift. Case closed!

This is so simple that it’s brilliant. I can see it now: you’re in the
airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an
announcement comes over the PA system: “Attention standby passengers we
now have a seat available on flight number…”

Update from Mark & Robyn Rose 2/20/10

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Two weeks ago I sent a letter explaining how Robyn and I have delayed our furlough in order to help out in Haiti after the earthquake struck there January 12, 2010. We arrived in Gonthiers, Haiti on February 1 and set up a base camp at the CAD Orphanage. We have erected tents for 250 orphans who began arriving last week and adding to the 60 orphans already living at our base. Now we are in a race against time as oncoming spring rains and monsoon flooding threaten to spread typhoid, cholera, and malaria throughout the Capital region.

Our team of 9 arrived at the orphanage, put up our tents, and began setting up tent shelters for the 250 orphans scheduled to relocate from Port au Prince to our location within days. The challenge was huge with no permanent water source, no bathroom or shower facilities, and not even a sink to wash dishes. The CAD orphanage in Gonthiers was home to about 30 boys. There were two other female orphanages operated by the CAD near Port au Prince that were destroyed by the earthquake killing several of the children and staff. Survivors from those two orphanages were relocated in mid-January to the male orphanage at our location. The orphanage in Gonthiers was already inadequate for the boys but now the problems were tripled with the arrival of the girls. So, our team went to work creating tents for the girls as well as shelters for the 250 children soon to arrive.

The photo at left shows a Haitian tent city. This is one of the thousands that sprung up after the earthquake. These tent cities will become death traps when the spring rains arrive next month because there is was no site prep done to allow for water, bathrooms, sanitation, or security. Families and children are exposed to the hot tropical sun, mosquitoes, and disease.
Our work was praised and recognized by the UN, Red Cross, and other international organizations last week as one of the best prepared sites due to the extensive drainage and hard work our team put in to preparing the tent city. Now the Haitian government and other organizations want to begin relocating thousands of Haitians from the capital to our

area due to the excellent conditions we have created and the fact that Gonthiers is about 20 miles form the epicenter where the earthquake struck. So, there is much work that needs to be done by our team over the next three weeks.

The most important task and challenge we face is to drill a well and create a permanent water source for the orphans and Haitians moving in to our tent city. We ask you to pray with us for the funds to drill this well ($5500)Second is to install showers, kitchen sinks, and expand the kitchen facilities. But most incredible is how God has given us a unique and dynamic platform from which to share the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the Creole speaking Haitian people. Robyn has dusted off her French and our translators are helping share the message of hope through Jesus Christ. We never dreamed that our furlough time would become a new episode of missionary work to a new people group. But rest assured that our work in Tajikistan will continue after our furlough is complete later this year.

I just want to ask you to pray with us for this effort. What you need to know is that the Haitian race is in danger of being destroyed if shelters are not provided for the 1.2 million people left homeless in and around Port au Prince. This is very serious and we cannot turn our backs on the Haitian people because our calling is to countries of the former Soviet Union.
