24 Hours From Now

Twenty four hours from now we will have left the recent cool summer days of Michigan and will be in Port au Prince, standing in a small area with many-many people, in the heat 90+ (hopefully not the rain) and trying to pull our 50+ bags out of the huge pile that will be in the center of the area!  Whew!  It seems like yesterday when the team first came together and began our training and getting to know each other.  This is an amazing team made up of parents and their adult/teenage children.  They have come together and are such an encouragement to each other. All are eager to be the hands and feet of Christ. The Lord has blessed this team in so many ways.  He has provided over and above what was needed to cover the expenses of the trip and has laid on people's hearts to give generously with donations to take with us.  Many in Haiti will be blessed by these gifts.  We will tell those receiving the gifts that we are just the delivery people.  We will share with them who you are so they might be thankful along with us for you and for our generous God.  "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.  For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." 2 Corinthians 2:14    Thank you for praying for safe travels for us tomorrow!  Praise to God alone, for all He has done and will do!
