Day Nine

Words cannot express…the wide range of emotions that each of us have experienced and shared here in Haiti. Today we worshipped and praised God with about 450 Haitians, that was an experience in itself.

Julie, the blind lady that Richard wrote about yesterday was there. We all have been and continue to pray hard for her. Just to let you know, she is a very pretty, soft spoken, godly woman. Her four year old daughter led her to church today, as she does all the time. Today, Sandy and the girls on our team fixed her up with baby supplies, medical supplies, new shoes for all of them, more food and whatever else they could think of. We got a translator and found out that she paid off debt with the money we gave her yesterday during the chicken run. Unfortunately, she couldn’t cook the food we gave her because she didn’t have charcoal to cook with. So today, Mark James, jumped up and took care of that quickly by buying some and taking it to her house.

Folks, this is just one family outside the walls of Danitas who we were able to serve. Danita’s staff does this sort of thing continuously, not to mention the medical clinic, housing 105 orphans and provide schooling for over 500 kids. Wow, what servants they are. God bless them all and you too for your prayers and support.

Jerry,

Thanks for the latest blog. This is such a challenge to me to look at what God wants US to do with our money and our time. Thank you guys, can't wait to hear more about how you are being used.
