In Haiti

We left Santo Domingo at 4:30 this morning and arrived at our location in Haiti around 12:30PM. It was a long, bumpy drive (imagine the roads in Peru) that came to a crawl (imagine rush hour in Atlanta) once we arrived in Port-au-Prince. The building that we are staying in is owned by the Florida Baptist Convention. It is used to give support to 964 churches that work with the convention.

Part of our team is driving around the city at this point. Our vehicle can not hold all of our team so some of us stayed behind.

It is amazing to see the devastation and at the same moment see so many believers working to share the love of Jesus with the people of Haiti. There is a medical clinic being conducted here at our building. They helped over a hundred people by lunch time and had the privilege of leading 10 of them to have a relationship with Jesus.

Thank you for all of your prayers. I still do not have my luggage - it did not arrive with today's flight. American Airlines simply does not know where the bag is - but God does and if He wants me to have it then it will show up. If not - I have much more in my little bag than many people here in Haiti have to call all of their belongings.
