Haiti Trip, Wednesday, March 27

Prayer Partner of the Day: Kathy Hogan & Fam

The church next door held a prayer vigil last night...until 3:15am. Complete with singing and shouting, they praised and pleaded to God throughout the night.

Today was the first day I was able to make out to the site, and what a glorious day it was! The children are beautiful and full of love. Of course, as is the case with most all sites, I fall in love with "that one kid..." This was no different and his name is Adley. He must have felt my lack of energy, and as the education class went on, and he had finished his assignment, he crawled into my lap and gave me a good cuddle for quite some time. So add Adley to the ever-growing list of Richard from Cherette, Lucy from Palmiste A Vin, Keegan from Dufort and the endless others who I would really like to bring home with me!

The tech team started the wiring today to give lights to the dormitories and kitchen. Valdes began training the operators, and the education team hit out of the park with the story of the woman at the well. Has there ever been a more natural team?

A pastor from a site nearby visited to see the system and understand the process of obtaining a clean water system. Tom and Bill went with him to visit his church and well, and they came back with a positive report. Another partnership in the making, perhaps! God has a way of working wonders!

After lunch, Tom, Leslie and Ronald sat down with Pastor Pudens to run through the final draft of the covenant and business plan. I was so impressed with both partners, and both are so willing to make the system sustainable! Surely God will bless this system and those involved with years of good service.

The wind has picked and the tents are blowing around! What a beautiful day in Haiti, and what a beautiful group of people to spend a day at home with!
