Alabama Crew

Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, but we got settled in here at Cote Plage, our home for the week! 

Today we had the chance to go to ASHCA and play with the kids there. ASHCA is a home for people with special needs. It was a great time of loving on them and spending time with them today.

Fun game of soccer against kids at Good Shepherd Orphanage!

Beautiful view at Good Shepherd Orphanage!

We had two special people celebrate their birthdays yesterday! 

We had such a great service this morning at Cote Plage this morning!

We had a great first day at the medical clinic. This group was at Bertin and saw over 100 patients today, and were able to treat people of many ages as well as assist with numerous different medical needs within the community. It has been great to continue building relationships between our team and the one from Mississippi, after working together on the mission field for a few years now. 

The Cote Plage group had a successful day at their clinic as well. By lunch time we saw 100 people and by the end of the day we saw 160 total. We had the opportunity to share the gospel with a few women today. We are amazed by how many people we have seen so far and cannot wait to see how the rest of the week will go and what the Lord will do.

Celebrating Lily today! So special to have a birthday in Haiti!

Some of our favorite times are playing with the kids in our down time!

Quick game of basketball with some kids at Cote Plage before dinner. It's crazy how easy we can connect with others and build relationships, despite the language and cultural barriers.

Meeting tonight to talk about all the great things the Lord did today. He deserves all the praise and glory. We can't wait to continue with the medical clinic the rest of the week.

Nothing like experiencing your first coconut in Haiti! It was such a nice treat this afternoon!

Some of us going out for tree ministry!

Today was our first day of tree ministry! It was some of our first times and it was such a cool experience. We went to numerous houses in the community and got to share the gospel and pray for each one. We had one salvation today and will continue to pray for her and her growing relationship with the Lord.

Our Bertin crew had another busy day today. The numbers keep growing! One thing we have been able to see, is that we get to be an example of Christ for every person we treat. Medical care is what gets people into the door, which opens up a great and simple opportunity to share the gospel with them!

Cote Plage was just as busy as well. We were able to assist a lot of patients today. It's incredible to be able to use the gift of physical healing on the mission field. 

The numbers kept growing today, and so did the number of people we got to speak truth into. Although it was a very busy day, we are so thankful the Lord equipped us to handle every situation we faced. 

Enjoying the last day at Bertin!

Enjoyed some down time to play with the kids and build relationships with them! For some of us, they were familiar faces. It is always such a special feeling to come back knowing you already have friends waiting to see you!

Before heading to the airport we headed to the overlook! The view was incredible! We can't believe this week is already over but are blown away by all that the Lord did this week.

From the bottom of our hearts, Eric and I would like to say a big thank you to your team. Your commitment to excellence, your desire for integrity in all things and your humble attitude, is a powerful trio in mission work. 

It was such an honor to be your trip leaders this year. Here's to 2018!
