the day finally arrived. We left FBC at 3 AM heading to RDU. After a long layover in Miami, a 2 hour flight to Port-au-Prince, and a 45 minute bumpy ride...we have arrived in Titanyen, Haiti.
There are 17 of us on this trip, all coming together for a common purpose...serving the Lord. We will work, sweat, share stories, laught, fight over bathroom time, and cry together. The next 6 days will be challenging, met with unexpected things, but again...all for one common purpose.
I was a little disappointed that I'm not seeing the progress I had hoped for. I hope to hear about it and see more tomorrow. I will be working with Team Alpha in Bon Repos, Haiti in a medical clinic. They see anywhere from 200-300 patients per day with only 2 doctors on staff and one nurse. We will be handing out Evangel Balls (soccer balls with scripture), clothes, and shoes. Most of all, we will be giving them care, spiritual and physical care. A hug, a smile, a reassurance that someone cares. We all need encouragment and I am privileged to be a part of this.
Tonight during our devotion, we drew names for prayer partners for the week. When we see this person or think of this, person, we are to stop and pray. Nothing fancy or even obvious, just an uplifting prayer. This is what gets us through the long, hard, hot days.
I love Haiti and am so excited to be back for the third time. I do wonder, if this will be my last trip to this great country with sweet people and smiling faces.
I will try to update as much as possible. As always, internet is not dependable at all but cold showers are.
Love to all!!

Holding team 97 up in prayer. Redeem the time. Remember Matthew 25 - as you serve the least of these, you are serving King Jesus.
