Nou la! |
Mitchell and I made it safely to Haiti early Wednesday morning. We're staying at Byron and Shelly's house. The Tluceks have lived in Haiti for three years and are a part of Heartline Ministries. They head up the orphanages. There is a team here from Indiana consisting of 30 or so people, mostly teenagers and young adults. They taught nanny classes at the girls home while other team members led a VBS for all of the kids over at the boys home. Other team members did various jobs around different locations of the ministry. Mitchell and I have been tagging along helping out where we can. Byron and Shelly have been providing meals for the team, so we've been helping out with that too. Yesterday we passed out food, clothing, and shoes to a couple hundred people in a town outside of Cite Soleil. It was overwhelming toward the end when food ran out and people were swarming the gates. But we had some awesome security guards and a pretty powerful Guard, uh God, on our side. Some nerves were rattled, but other than that it went smoothly. This morning we went to church and enjoyed proclaiming the name of Jesus with people of many ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
