Update From Haiti #4

Today is Sunday Morning in Haiti and the Sun is shining bright. Last night we traveled through Port Au Prince and ate at a very nice restaurant. The streets were packed with people, cars, motorcycles, and small shops along the side. They were selling anything from food to clothing to drinks and medication. It is always a site to see. We travel in a truck with a cage around the bed to keep us in and others out. You almost feel like a caged animal on display as you travel through the streets. The food was delicious and it was good just to sit back and relax for a while.

We began the work day around 6 a.m. On Saturday morning so we could finish. We have about 2-3 hours of work to do on Monday morning. The dormitory looks great! We can't wait to bring the pictures back and share them. There are so many people at home who invested in so many ways. There are families who gave up their husband, wife, son, daughter, father, or mother. There is one father here who announced that their wife is having a baby. I won't tell you who it is, you can try to figure it out. I will give you one hint - it's not Vickie and I.

There are many who gave financially to help out with the project more or scholarships for others to go. Many have prayed for God to move among our team and those we come in contact with. We are so blessed to have a praying, loving, and generous church.

Today we are going to a church where the District Superintendent is the pastor. I was informed last night about 8:30 p.m. that I would be preaching. I don't know why it shocks me because that seems to happen every time we come to Haiti. Be ready in season and out of season is the Haitian way.

Today we will be attending service, going to an orphanage this afternoon, then a Haitian concert tonight. We will be praying for the services in Findlay as we enter the day.

Joy in Jesus!

Pastor Mike
