Hi!
The Haiti Team made it safely to Haiti. Our trip went extremely smoothly from Chicago to Miami and Miami to Port-au-Prince. Once we arrived in Port-au-Prince, our team split into 2 groups to get on a 9 passenger plane to Port-de-Paix. We landed and took a bus to safely arrive at SonLight. Praise God, all of our luggage and supplies made it with us!!!! Is was a huge blessing to have all of our clothes and all the supplies with us to give to SonLight. After we arrived we had a snack and then went in for orientation. Everyone was assigned a classroom or task/tasks for the week and we look forward to sharing Gods word and seeing how God will chose to use us during this week.
This morning we had the opportunity to attend Sunday School in English with Haitian kids and then we attended service in the new Son Center. this service was entirely in Creole. The pastor was very energetic and gave service with his hands in the air and arms moving everywhere! It was awesome. Julie had a birthday and the entire service sang Happy Birthday to her in Creole and in English!
Today after lunch we will be going on a hike to see more of Haiti and take in the culture. At night we worship on top of the school roof and praise God while we look up at a million stars.
Thank you for keeping tabs on us and praying for us while we are on this journey. Please pray that God will use us as he see's fit during this week.
please leave messages here and we will relay them to the team.
Blessings~ The Haiti Team.
Happy to hear you all made it with everything have a time. Miss you all.
