This place is huge and ALIVE!
Praise GOD! Shout it out!!
Merci a Dieu!"
His Mercies are Forever
"Up at 5 this morning and am standing at the upper east side of the Mission of Hope-Haiti compound; enjoying watching the sky brighten with the pending sun rise. Temp is probably low 70s, cool enuf for the locals to have a sweater like in India. Perfect for me without. Light, steady breeze - perfect for sailing!"
"God has been most gracious and kind. His mercies are forever.
Looking forward to the big church service this am. People begin lining up hours before the service is to begin. They are hungry and know where True Nourishment is found among such devastation. After the service, I'll be off to Ezena's and the children's tarpaulin camp area for a big lunch (it is Sunday after all). I should be back at MOHH by 5pm."

God's faithfulness
"Lots of answers to prayer for this group, I assure you!," remarked Andrew.
He got the "scoop" and a photo of all 20 children under Pastor Ezena's care upon his arrival into PAP. The team will be at Mission of Hope-Haiti for the evening through tomorrow afternoon.
Also, Andrew confirmed that the water quality in Anglais is significantly better than that available in PAP, although filtration is needed to reduce water-borne illnesses. This will be something we'll look at networking with another agency in the future, as plans to build an orphanage/school progress.
Praise the Lord for safe arrival into PAP, including the rental car. Good news indeed!

Can it be Any Worse?
Approaching PAP: a land so totally surrounded by destruction...
Up river:
"Down river - it's not moving..."
Jesus said, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said,
'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" John 7:38
"They will hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb (Jesus) in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes."
Rev. 7:17
The Best News of the Trip so far...
Andrew writes, "It's going to be a cooker here. Our agenda is the long drive back to Port-au-Prince (6 hours - rough roads). May the Lord keep and preserve us.
Right now, Pastor and the others are getting ready to get ready to think about and move toward departing, at some point.....some of you know what I mean.
The best news of the trip so far is that Pastor will be moving the whole crew, tents and all, to Anglais asap. I couldn't be more thrilled for this decision. He is ready to move forward based on how God spoke to him through me yesterday. PAP and the Champs de Mars [refugee park] is not a place for children to live. So since there is space for them here, they will move. Praise the Lord!!
It was obvious that Anglais, a rural 'clean' village, will create an immediate family for the children and a safe place for them to live and play."
The first goal is to obtain immediate sponsorships for the children's care and support.
Second goal: find higher ground in/near Anglais to build an orphanage and school, as the area is subject to flooding.
Third goal: funding for the construction.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
Eph. 2:8-10

"Staying the night in the house of a friend of pastor.
Probably the last transmission for this eve. Praise service about to begin. Then to bed. Am quite warm at the moment.

Mes Petits Amis (my small friends)
"Les Anglais is a small rural village, which we arrived at by driving a LONG coastal road that reminded me at times of a Colorado trailhead road. Absolutely wonderful place of peace. God has brought us to this place. I'm going to sponge bathe now! Yeah!!"
