Hello again!
As mentioned earlier, we accomplished a few things while in Haiti ... here are a few highlights:
  • many people with health-related issues were assessed, prayed for & with, given meds/vitamins - and we administered basic first aid and life support. 130 children (out of the original 158) were located and given their health-screening tests ... in the continuation of our tracking those living with the greatest need.
  • 1000s of meals were served
  • electrical, plumbing and light construction was done at Pastor Emory's and some of the homes / school @ Jubilee ... though, the block work was a little heavy :)
  • 8 new beds (4 bunks) were cut, welded, prime, painted and pounded together.
  • taught a couple of English classes
  • visited the homes of friends we have made, to assess their specific needs
  • good fellowship, sweet prayers and worship ...

so many things to do ... so little time (sounds so American!) ...

well, we made to the States ... and looking back over the time there, I will always remember the faces and voices of the dying people ... and I ask myself ...

"how many more will die before we go back?"

cherish each other ... time is short.

Have a great Christmas and New Year Folks ... you are Loved!

    Reading through my friends, the thought that struck me was bunch a quote one of our fellow sisters in Christ who calls her self the pencil which God once quoted “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty.” - Mother Theresa of Calcutta.
    I thank my fellow brothers along with Brian, who peruse in providing the relationships of love and humanity which is the message of God, to the Haitians and diminishing the true poverty. All that is worldly with perish with one storm, but a smile, conversation of love, tap on the back for encouragement done, action of instilling hope during the hardest times with the purest intention because we love them, will never be diminished even through the worst of the storms. Such is and was Jesus to us, he knows us by name, knows to comfort us through providing needs, or wisdom at dark nights when all seems to fade, because he is there with us.
    with much blessings,thankfulness and love
    Sam
