Heading Home

Wheels up in 5 mins. Leaving the beautiful people of Haiti to return to the wonderful people of USA. We return full of vision for the future partnerships in which God has opened the doors.

Recap of Our 3rd Day

We were with the 55 children at the Foursquare orphanage
in the coastal town of Jeremie today. The children sleep on sheets
on concrete floors, have very little food and their clothing is
worn thin like paper. Yet, when they sing, joy fills the air.

Stickers bring smiles no matter where children live.

Pastor Farrell and Pastor Cassamejor. The wall behind them
is woven branches and those make-up the walls of the church.

This is church that will get rebuilt on new land.
150 are already attending.

First Day in Haiti

What a difference 5 months makes. Arriving here was much more orderly than In July. As we drove to the base camp, the first thing a returning visitor notices is how clean the streets are. Mounds of garbage are gone. Some of the international government agencies are putting Haitian to work cleaning. The results are impressive, for the streets look more orderly which breeds a sense of confidence.

Dinner at the base house: food - Haitian bean dishes. A team of 15 from the Beaverton OR Foursquare church are here to put a water well in at the church. This fresh water will be made available to the community. What a blessing!! Makes for a full base camp, think all but 2 bunks are full. Shower is cold, but toilets are working.

Leave in the morning for Les Cayes. There are 2 new churches to visit there. 4-5 hour drive so we depart at 5:30 am to assure we get back by dark.
Word is that where we are going tomorrow is like going back 100 years in time.

Should be interesting.

Stay tuned.
