We made it!

by Team | July 23, 2011 7:41 PM

Our team has arrived in Jacmel, Haiti! We arrived in Port-Au-Prince on time where we were greeted by a nice Haitian rain. We left the airport where we met our Praying Pelican staff before jumping on the bus to begin our 4 hour drive to Jacmel. The drive opened up our eyes to a whole new world. We saw everything from the destruction in Port-Au-Prince, to the beauty of the mountains. We arrived in Jacmel just in time for dinner, where we had a meal of rice, beans, and beef. It was amazing! We then made our way to our hotel where we are now settled in. We are all tired and can't wait to get a good nights rest! Please continue to pray for us as tomorrow we have a chance to speek in church. We will then be spending the afternoon loving on the kids and youth of the community. Stay tuned for updates!

Grateful for a GREAT day!

by Team | July 24, 2011 7:56 PM

Today we had the awesome privilege to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Jacmel. The worship service was amazing! Many of us participated in song and testimony, and John gave an excellent sermon. We were blessed by the Haitian people as well as they shared through song and prayer. After church, we had a great lunch before heading back to the hotel to change and get ready for the afternoon. This afternoon we had over 100 children and youth show up to play soccer and other games. It was amazing to be able to play with the kids and show the love of Christ with them. We ended with a short devotion and a time of prayer before inviting them to come back tomorrow. We have a packed day of ministry tomorrow, so please continue to pray. Also, pray for our soccer game tomorrow between our team and the Haitian Church! The whole community is talking about the game with great anticipation.
Grateful for a GREAT day!

Kids, construction, and soccer

Today was yet another wonderful day in Haiti. Our team arrived at the church eager to build relationships and get our hands dirty. We jumped right in with a kid’s event that the local church has been promoting for the last month. It started with 30 kids and ended 3 hours later with close to 200. It was amazing. We shared stories from the Bible and presented the Gospel to the children. While a good portion of the team was with the kids, the rest of us were painting chairs for the school. We painted around 200 chairs with colorful Caribbean colors. The church is really excited. They say the kids will love them! We also did some work on pastor’s new office and hope to finish that project tomorrow. This afternoon, our team had the opportunity to play a Haitian soccer team from one of the local churches. The game was incredible! Both teams were pretty equal, but the Haitian team ended up winning 1-0. It was fun to see the community come out and watch the teams play. At the end we had the opportunity to pray with them and invite them back tomorrow. We are now back at the hotel resting up. We are all looking forward to another wonderful day tomorrow!

Loving every minute!

Today was packed with ministry from morning to night! We split the team up into two groups. One group worked at the church ministering to the kids and youth of the community. They also did some sanding of the school walls to prepair for painting tomorrow. The other group went up the mountain to a small village where they worked on two house projects. One involves replacing a very damaged roof and the other was digging a foundation for a house for someone who lost theres in the earthquake. It was great to be able to build relationships with the families. One of them has 11 children living in a small tent! We then ended the afteroon with a visit to a local orphanage and another soccer game! This one ended in a tie: 2-2. Tonight we had the privlage of worshiping with the Haitian church again. Once again we were able to share in song, testimony, and a message. It was great to be able to feel the passion again that the Haitian church has. Tomorrow we are going to hit it hard again on some work projects while keeping our focus on relationships. Please keep praying!
Loving every minute!

Another wonderful day in Haiti

by Team | July 27, 2011 7:26 PM

Today was a day to remember. It didn’t take us long before we were all soaked in sweat, as today was a full work day! This morning, half the team went up the mountain where we finished the roof for the house, while the other half poured a cement floor and painted walls at the school. After lunch, we once again split up. Some of us worked to dig the foundation for a wall around the parsonage property, others painted, and the rest loved on kids. We wrapped up the work day at 4 o’clock so we could challenge the Haitian team to another soccer game. It was another close one, but once again the Haitians came out ahead. It was a great week building relationships with those young men. It’s amazing how much you learn about a person by playing a game with them. After the soccer game, we had an amazing Haitian dinner, and then returned to the hotel for our meeting and rest. Tomorrow is our last full day in Haiti. We are praying that God gives us the strength to finish strong!
Another wonderful day in Haiti

So hard to say goodbye!

by Team | July 28, 2011 5:55 PM

Today was our last full day in Haiti. We finished strong this morning with multiple work projects that included more digging, painting, and pouring of concrete. We then had one last amazing Haitian meal prepared by our cooks before saying our goodbyes. The goodbyes were so hard! We fell in the love with the many people that we built relationships with this week. It was especially hard to say goodbye to the kids. After many tears, we loaded the bus and took off to spend some time enjoying the beauty of Haiti. We did some shopping downtown for souvenirs before spending the rest of the day at the beach. Haiti truly is a beautiful country with much to see and do. We ended the day with our first taste of American food all week: burgers and fries. We are currently all packing for tomorrow before having our closing meeting. Thank you all for praying! We can’t wait to see you tomorrow and tell you all that God has done!
So hard to say goodbye!

It is an amazing blessing how God has provided safety, protection, strength and smiles to each and every one of you for the past few days. The children and people are blessed to have you there.

Seek Him for strength, comfort and safety during the last hours of your mission. Thank you Woogy and Pastor Talley for your leadership during this trip. Thank you to ALL of the chaperone's!

Good morning all! Continuing to pray much for you all! Love the updates and seeing how God is using you! And this to Mommy and Daddy from Sadie who is sitting next to me on the couch: "I love you Mommy and Dad. I had fun at the lake Mommy and Daddy. Mommy, my cousins are coming today!" I miss you. And thank you for all the presents Mommy and Daddy! :-) They truly are doing great but they sure will be so happy to see you!! I forgot to tell you, the look on Sadie's face when she opened the book was priceless..."It's my Mommy!!!....It's my Daddy!" :-) Praying for your parents loving hearts, and trusting the rewards of this awesome ministry are comforting you a bit in missing your own precious children!

What a blessing to read the updates everyday! It is wonderful to hear how the Lord is using you in so many different areas! Wish I could have been in the crowd to cheer you guys on during the soccer game. :) You are all in our prayers. P.S. My former youth pastor is in Haiti, as well. He contacted me via facebook. He may try to find you guys and say hi.

How exciting to start with 30 children and end up 3 hours later with almost 200. WOW! God is preparing hearts. I bet those chairs are bright and beautiful! The people will enjoy them and remember your work even after you leave. You were so kind to let the Haitian team win the soccer game! :) I am praying for safety, fun, spiritual growth and God's blessings on you and those you each are touching for Him in Haiti.

Lori and Mayor Tim: I am filled with pride and love for the work you both are doing in Haiti. The poor people of Haiti have been thru so many challenges that it is the love you and your group have for all people that sustains their ability to continue on. Their belief in GOD and your belief that our Savior will see them through their tragedies are the sign of hope that your group brings to help them. Praise GOD and praise you all for your wonderful work. Stay safe and take care of yourselves. Our prayers are with you during your work and knowing that the Lord will bring you home safely.

What beautiful smiles on your faces! =D Praying that your hearts were encouraged as you ministered and were ministered to with the Haitians today. My heart is with you and you share your smiles and hugs with all those precious children today (how many can you bring home =D)! I reminded the kids in Jr. church "every time you are hot or tired this week, pray for extra- strength for the Haiti team". Thankyou for giving above and beyond to serve where HE has called you today and may you find your strengthand rest in HIM alone! So happy you are there.....Deb
