Global Compassion Advance Team Arrives

Unloading Supplies in Northwest Haiti

Isaiah 52:7

  How beautiful on the mountains
    are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
    who bring good tidings,
    who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
    “Your God reigns!”

Part of the Global Compassion advance team arrived at the campus in northwest Haiti on Tuesday, January 20^th.

Terry talking with the pastor (far right) about his new house!

Steve and Ron arrived a couple days later in the Army truck. It’s been a busy time! Everyone just seems to jump in and do whatever job is at hand. After only one day, Steve and Ron headed back to Port au Prince to get more supplies and get ready to pick up the team on Sunday (I’m guessing that they only stayed one day because they really like riding the army truck back and forth. ;)

Ladies volunteered to carry rocks for their pastors foundation

Preparations have been made to build a house for the pastor in a nearby village of Ti Anse. The pastor has been living in a house with another family. It will truly be a blessing for this man to have his own house! The footings have been dug, sand and gravel is on the way. A team left this morning to start on the foundation.

Millie has been getting all the donated items together. What a job! She has also been busy with the VBS supplies. I think she is about ready to ‘hit the villages’!

Vickie's Kitchen. Or, Vicky behind bars? 

There is also a water project that we all hope can get accomplished. Living Water Ministries along with Global Compassion Ministries are working together to try and get running water to a village about 45 minutes away from here. We need to be in prayer that this project will also be accomplished on this trip.

Vicky is hard at it in the kitchen. She has been making fantastic meals! Today she will prepare food for the guys working on the foundation in Ti Anse and we will take it over to them at lunch time. We are so blessed to have so many Haitians helping. We all have enjoyed good fellowship.

Playing with school children

The days start out with a morning devotion time at 7:00. This has been an especially enjoyable time for Gail and me. Although we have only been in Haiti for the past few months, we do miss the fellowship and worship with other English speaking Christians. So this has sort of become ‘church’ for us!

We look forward to the full team coming next Monday! God has a plan, and He has chosen each and every one of those coming to help fulfill His plan. We give all praise and thanks to Jesus Christ our Savior.

May our Lord bless you all…

In His Service,

Morning devotion
