We began our day with refreshed minds and bodies following a restful night of sleep. The worship service today with the Haitians was an amazing opportunity to share in the praise and worship of our great God. A choral men’s group sang and we also had the pleasure of singing as a group for the Haitians as we led the praise for a few songs. Per usual, the worship service was full of harmonious singing interspersed with roaring “Amens”. The community has welcomed us with open arms and we look forward to working closely with them over the coming week. Following the service we had a small amount of time to have lunch and reflect before heading off as a team to Favo where we were able to do some food distribution of beans and rice. It was a unique experience for the rookie and repeat participant alike as we interacted with the community of Favo and shared with them the food purchased as a result of your generous donations. Over 370 families were given enough food to sustain them for a few weeks; the smiles and hugs we received were awesome. The remainder of our team has safely arrived and has been picked up from the airport and we look forward to tomorrow as we will begin delivering medical attention, administering the sponsorhip program, and begin our construction projects. Please keep us in your prayers and feel free to leave comments which will be read to the group on a daily basis. Click here to see the photos.

Hi daddy! I hope you’re having fun. I just ask that you don’t come home with too much of a tan…i don’t want to look too white. Love you.
Hi Cheryl & team!
I am so happy to hear that you had time to worship together and enjoy the Hatians’ songs! and to distribute so much rice & beans, and to interact with people in Favo already. Keep honouring the Lord in everything you say & do and trusting in His mercy to sustain you. He’s with you!

“I smell carrots.”
Robert went to his lawyer and said, ‘I would like to make a will but I don’t know exactly how to go about it.’ The lawyer smiled at Robert and replied, ‘Not a problem, leave it all to me.’ Robert looked somewhat upset and said, ‘Well, I knew you were going to take a big portion, but I would like to leave a little to my family too!’
