Some Pics from the Last Trip

Thanks to the members of the October Team for these pics! 

Four cute boys from the orphanage: (L to R)
Anderson (age 3), John (10), Kenlove (2), Nesli (4)

Cory rockin' out with Santia (age 6), Rose (10, and Lucy (8)...girls from the orphanage

200 people in a school made of tree branches up in the mountains of Haiti waiting for medical attention and singing praise songs...can anyone say crowd control issues?  But there's nowhere I would rather be!







Anderson needs a good shave! 
Sue and Cory help him out.  These kids
don't have parents...we need to teach
them the big AND the small things.

 

Preparing to climb the mountain...if I could even begin to describe the raw, unrefined talent and spiritual potential these young men possess!  What a privilege and overwhelmingly awesome responsibility to shape them in some way in the years to come.  When I look at these guys I see the future of Haiti...and it looks bright.

Elise (tall one to the left)-  The poet/pastor/evangelist.  The leader of the group. (I will post some of his writings in the days to come)
David (center, striped shirt)-  Elise's shy older brother...probably the smartest young man in the village.
Chelo (light blue shirt)-  The translator...most likely of the bunch to master English one day, a true businessman in the making.
Zachary (dark blue, behind Chelo)-  The Bible scholar who attends seminary...very intense man with a  raw yet undeniable call from God.

Question:  Are you wet from rain or sweat?  Answer:  Yes!

Patwouko, Joshua, and Jesula...the leaders of our ministry in Haiti.  We will
live in the same compound as them and share life together every day.

Cory & Chelo cracking jokes together...teaching each other
English and Creole sayings and expressions

The infectious and unbreakable spirit and smile of LUCY!
She has a been through a lot and yet she worships Jesus with a heart of
unrestrained joy...her testimony is both inspiring and convicting.
