Greetings to all our Family and Friends in the Name of the L-rd!
Thanks for joining us in Haiti … we can sure tell many of you were praying for our Team and the Saints there!
We had an amazing week … last Monday, we began the medical census in the poorest of areas – Jubilee Blanc. This involved the entire Team and many locals. We mapped an area around the community building … this is where Pastors Emory and Genada have held the feeding program. We started outward from there in concentric circles (supposedly :) ) to identify those homes with younger children. These children, along with one caregiver, were invited to participate in a clinic that would start a process to track their health and growth development. Each child was given a numbered arm band and put into vehicles for the trip to Pastor Emory’s, where we set up the clinic. It was amazing to me how many people you can get into the back of a pickup! I really had to disassociate my ‘safety mindset’ as we wound through the myriad of craters, pedestrian and ‘survival-of-the-biggest’ traffic with NO SEATBELTS or CHILD SAFETY SEATS!! I can believe we didn’t lose anyone … thank You, L-rd!
After the 2-3 hours of clinic time (thanks to Banning for keeping the kids entertained), we made the trip back.

There are many wonderful things happening there … even in the midst of the darkness and chaos. The kids are so precious and the parents seem to be more accepting of us since last year. G-d is opening doors and relationships are really blossoming!
We were fed well and enjoyed the great hospitality of our hosts! Mary, Rose and the other precious women really spoiled us … even Pastor Emory dished up some great breakfast meals!
Thanks to them all … and thanks most of all to You, L-rd! Ken
