Attended service at the tent
church at 6am...a glorious way to start the day!
We were the 1st team ever to
visit Redempter School. During our visit, we handed out 600 pieces of bubble
gum...it was a hit, despite the fact that we were rather disruptive to the
entire school.
As you can see, John fit right
in with the kindergartners.....
On the back of the Kubato (all
terrain ATV) as we prepare to visit the elderly.
The gentleman in the fore
front (with the glasses) is Coco, who is the freelance journalist from Paris,
France. He has been an "honorary" team member since we arrived in Haiti and is
capturing our mission in photo format. He hopes the article he writes from the
trip will eventually lead to a book. The best part is, he has agreed to share
his photos with the entire team. On an average, he snaps nearly 500 pictures
per day!!
We would love to introduce you
to Elie. He is the newest addition to the Healing Haiti ElderCare program. He is
severly malnourished and dehydrated and sleeps on a sheet on the dirt floor. We
delivered his first meals on wheels today. We brought him sardines, applesauce
and water. We also, as a team pitched in to purchase him a matress and pillow
so he no longer needs to sleep on the dirt floor. Praise God that he allows us
to be his hands and feet to this man!!!
Upon
arriving at Elie's house John was once again drawn to his granddaughters 7 month
old son. The men all later went and filled 7 buckets from a nearby well to
provide the family with 35 gallons of fresh water. John's timing was perfect as
this young boy later proceeded to pee on Jenna one of our team
members.

The mass burial memorial. It
has been 3 years since the devastating earthquake. It is on this spot where
300,000 Haitian's are buried in a mass grave following the
quake.
On the way back to the guest
house. Tired, emotionally spent....yet so filled with all the blessings from
the day.
