Early One Morning

Thank you and the team for praying, God is answering prayer!

Our flight was uneventful and on time, landing a bit early in Port Au Prince, Haiti.  We went through Immigration like a breeze, all 8 checked bags including 5 of medicines and supplies came through quickly (an amazement to the missionaries as they had warned us it would take a LONG time) then we sailed through Customs without a hitch, they didn’t even open one bag.  It was a God moment because Jeanne told us that they confiscate meds if they see them.

Jeanne and Jack picked us up and took us to the FOHO Guest House (Friends Of Haiti Organization) and fed us a good dinner.  We each have a room with 2 small ceiling fans and bathroom to ourselves.  This morning after breakfast Enrique, Cheri and Joyce loaded up 1/2 the meds and headed to the Children’s Orphanage and hospital in Dessallines where they will have a clinic today and tomorrow then return Fri. evening.  Dr. Dan Snyder and Jack Munos are with them as they drive 4 hours into the mountains over the VERY rough roads. We are praising the Lord for opening this door of ministry.

Tomorrow I speak at least once and perhaps twice to the WMI Haiti delegation of at least 500. Sunday we will worship with the congregation of 1,600 here whose services last 3-4 hours.

Monday and Tuesday the medical team will set up clinics at Church’s; again we are so thankful for this opportunity for them.  Last night the Dr saw a judge and a pregnant lady near here, both with difficult situations, so they put him to work right away.

Jeanne is taking us to visit the International Child Care school next door.  The children began arriving before 7:00 a.m. this morning, laughing, playing, clean, healthy and happy because of the support sent for them.  I’m getting information on how many schools and how many children here are sponsored…it’s incredible.  The school here is next door to the FOHO Guest House where the Mission is headquartered; we look out of our 3rd floor room window, see them and hear their happy sounds.

Thank you for your prayers, thank you for ‘coming with us’ and being part of the team.  We are covered with God’s tender care, held in His Hands, close to His heart.  The people here are kind and full of love for each other and their Redeemer.  The missionaries are doing a terrific job.

What a wonderful privilege is ours to be here, bringing encouragement, inspiration, challenge, assistance and medical care.

Love, prayer and appreciation,

LaWanda
