in the airport and waiting for tickets. no other airport can compare to the haiti airport. orevwa haiti. bonjou mechanicsville.
good morning shalom and family and friends,
i can tell you that our team is going home with a new perspective of ourselves and God and haiti. this morning is filled with piano notes coming up the stairs and laughter from the kids getting ready for church, women cooking from the first floor and a soccer ball being kicked on the tile floor. as a conclusion to our trip here we will be worshiping at jean clauberts church from 9-11 am . it will be two cultures worshiping the same god under under one haitian roof. all glory be to God.

i write as we are all feeling quite tired from a day of new cultural and spiritual experiences. balan is a village of immense need. no electricit, clean water, sufficient clothing and topped off wih poor agriculture.

none of us will ever forget the feeling of passing out beans and rice for 2000 people.

god was glorified and worship by some as they received aid.

and all ofhat for 1,200 us dollars.

lord thank you for this day of caring for the orphqns and the hungry. amen
on the road to balan. please pray for the road to be clear so we can pass out our truck of rice and beans
