I thought it would be good to leave you with one final post from this team. First of all thank you for your prayers and for following this blog over the past week. We have truly been blessed by God. He put an amazing team together and we worked in complete harmony with one another.
One final thought about the event of this past week I wanted to share. Our last day in Haiti was bitter sweet. We all felt we needed more time. More time to effect change. More time to bring hope. More time to shower the love of God on the people of Haiti. We took some time to speak about how the week changed us. We came away with a great sense that while we feel like we could have done more. God called us to go and we went. God prepared the way. He lead us into places we would have never chosen to go on our own. From the moment we left Conway until the moment we returned He was in control.
While we may have chosen a different direction He knew when and how we were going to arrive in Haiti. Had we flown into Port Au Prince directly we would not have met Jesus our laison in Santo Domingo. We would not have stayed with Pastor Mickael and had an opportunity to touch 3 little girls who just wanted to see and touch the Americano's. We would not have met Alcee or Wilson, our drivers who drove us both too and from Haiti to Santo Domingo. Never complaining about the 14 hours it took to get us back.
We would have not 
have had the opportunity to meet Andres the German reporter who came and sat down with us after lunch one afternoon as asked us if he could interveiw our team. He was interested in why we were there and Gary was able to share the gospel with him. We would not have had the opportunity to ride through the streets of Port Au Prince in a taxi with a driver who wanted to know if we were afraid to come to Haiti and I told him no and then asked him if he wanted to know why and when I told him it was Jesus he point up to the sky and then to his heart and said "Jesus, number one". We could not have known the ones whose paths we would cross but we can look back and see that God knew all along where we were going to go and who we were going to meet and for that we are all truly blessed. It has been a pleasure to serve God in this time of need in Haiti. There is much work yet to be done. So much work, but we will forever hold these people in our hearts.
