Highlights from the June/July Haiti Trip

Having reflected back on this most recent trip, I can think of so many highlights:
  • Seeing Pastor Jeannot again and deepening our relationship
  • Seeing so many changes at the site of the project- a completed home, shipping containers delivered that will soon be converted into homes, healthy, happy kids, a generator to bring a sound system alive for Sunday worship, and many more signs of activity
  • Presenting blankets to the children of Desire that the children from our VBS spent time finishing and praying over
  • Seeing God's provision of water through three small springs that only trickle water to fill buckets that represent life at Desire.  Truly a miracle
  • Baptizing my daughter
  • Leading another fantastic team to minister the children of Desire
But perhaps the easiest thing for me to do is share some of these highlights in pictures.

One of the homes finished- this was only partially constructed on our last visit.
Pastor Jeannot had run out of funds to finish it.  It's done now!
Community kids outside the project seeing what's going on in the Desire project.
A couple of buddies hanging out with me.
We presented the children with blankets that kids from our church's VBS worked on to finish.
This is a great example of how kids from Fort Collins can help kids in Haiti.
The miracle spring that provides water to the community.  The
ground well has been closed due to being contaminated with cholera.
It was truly incredible to see this with our own eyes.

Baptizing Kennedi in the Caribbean Sea.  What an honor for a father.

Truly special
Croix des Bouquets is known worldwide for it's metal work art.
Here a worker carefully cuts and pounds out his art work.
Another fantastic team that served the Lord well.
It was a pleasure working with this team!

This is a reminder of the hundreds of thousands who lost their
lives in the earthquake.
