Hello again from beautiful Haiti. I will apologize right off for the lack of photo sharing on here. I know it’s nice to see a visual of what is going on but much of the mission work we are doing here is very intimate and pictures are not an option in most situations. As Linda Lee mentioned in the last post, we went to the hospital in Petit-Goave last Thursday and prayed and sang over the patients and their families.

Hello everyone back in the States! We have been here in Haiti for 5 or so days. We went to the Hospital in Peti Goave and prayed with the people in five different sections of the Hospital.

Two of our team members (Jakob and Jannie) were on the trip here to Haiti
We are excited to have a team here from Grace Gate Church this year. They are a group of fun loving and inspired folks. Stay tuned for their adventures for the next week.
