Haiti Day 6 Team Update

"After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father the hour has come. Glorify your Son so He can give Glory back to you" John Ch 17 vs 1

The Team was blessed to wake up to oatmeal this morning, and the Haitians know how to make even something as simple as oatmeal taste out of this world!

After morning time with the Lord, the team was off serving Him in different directions.. There is a saying here in Haiti, that any plan we make is subject to "this is Haiti". The Spiirit led some team members  to see the places the team from the 2010 earthquake had been when it hit... there is still some rubble on the ground around the corner from the girls home, two years later. however, there has been a great deal of repair work done, and compared to our last trip here 14 months ago, the streets are buzzing with activity again.
Other team members were serving today by making benches for the truck they pick up missionaries in that come to Haiti to serve, and there was prayer over every bench made..The Spirit sent others to serve at the girls home where they were able to visit, laugh, and play with the girls. From there they went to the staff home to organise, put away clothes, shoes, and needs that will help keep the boys and girls provided for. Some of the Team had the privilege of meeting Brian Perry and Daniel from "Children of the Nations". These were the people that put together the "Meal Marathon" Food Packaging Event several months ago. That food will soon be reaching the needy here, and it was encouraging to know that hungry mouths will be fed.
 The dental team did 14 regular cleanings, 2 deep cleanings, 13 fillings, 3 extractions, 1 pulpotmy, and one open and med! Because the dental team has been obedient to come back to the children from the orphanage there is a bond, trust, and they are able to get the kids in and out much quicker than last year. "Praise the Lord!". There are many daily needs here as there are back home, simple but equally important task like folding, and putting away laundry, as the team did today. Haiti moves at it's own pace, and so do their computers :) So finally 3 days later... the 150 name tags for the kids from the MUTCH program are almost ready for the tagging for tomorrow's feeding program "Thank You Jezi!" While the Lord was accomplishing much  today, He even made time for some fellowship, which lead to a "Revelation" for a missionary who had a childhood fear that was finally brought to her recollection of where the fear came from...Our 2 missionaries that are teachers went into town today, and picked up supplies, they bought surprise treats for the team, and on there way back were blessed with a conversation with a young Haitian girl who works to save her money to buy kids who go without treats! Can these children get any more precious, Lord, really? The Lord's desire to see His church at MVCC look like heaven is happening across the waters..Today team members gave the boys here in Haiti a book with personnel notes from our MVCC kids of blessings to each individual boy at the orphanage, and the boys were glued to the book, and had huge smiles! It was a blessing to see these precious Haitian boys be blessed by their American young sisters, and brothers In Christ! Our days are full here, and the stories to the Glory of God are endless...
After a full day we came back to the guest house and had a Haitian meal, and sang Happy Birthday to our young missionary Mercadez  who turned 13 in Haiti today!
We were blessed by one of the staff members tonight who led us in worship, and the Spirit took up residence in this house tonight! We worshiped, and read CH17 of John aloud, shared how it ministered to each of us, and the highlights of our day...We ended the night with the Spirit of Joy! Praising the Name of Jesus because in John CH 17 vs 20 "I am praying NOT ONLY for these disciples but also for ALL who will EVER BELIEVE in me throughout their message" The Joy in knowing that Jesus Christ prays for each of us individually brought this team to it's knees... and our prayer is that each of you will be blessed to know the same!

A lesson we learned tonight from a beautiful Haitian child of God... she said " I don't like old people! and the team member asked, "why?", and she replied "because they have to work so hard, and it hurts my heart..."

Prayers & Love from above!
Your Brothers & Sisters In Christ!
