We arrived in Port Au Prince sometime after eight in the evening. It was a long two day Journey from Omaha, San Diego, Chicago and Tennee to Port Au Prince Haiti. I sat next to a Haitian woman on the bus from Santo Domingo to Port Au Prince. She was at work when the quake hit. She lost her husband and several of her coworkers. Her children were safe though, and she praised God for that. When you talk to people, hear their stories, you heart akes for them. When you see the tears in thier eyes, God uses it to touch your heart, and then you realize the burden God has for these people and how much he loves them.Today part of our team bagged beans and rice for food ditribution tomrow and the other part of our team held our first medical clinic. We saw over 200 people. We worked with another group from Georgia. There were many people. What can I say? It is hard to describe accurately without being able to teleport you hear so you can see and hear, smell and touch. Pray for the people of Haiti. God loves all people and wants them to know him. Here are some photos of our first day.

Sounds like a good start for your trip. We're praying for you all.
Glad to hear you arrived! Praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you made it. The time will fly. Remember you can't smuggle any children back with you.

I am thinking and praying for you all. As you said, there is no way to really describe Haiti, it can only be "sensed." I pray the Lord will give you rest and peaceful sleep (especially from the mosquitoes!"
