Ready....

Tomorrow the Nicaragua team meets for it's last team meeting before departing. We are all getting excited and running around trying to take care of all the little details. Please pray that during this time we will not loose focus of what is really important, taking the love of Christ and the message of hope to those that are still lost. We will try to update this blog while we are traveling so keep checking back.

Let the dentistry begin!

Today was the frist day on the construction/medical/vbs sites. Craziness all around! Dr Dee, Janet, and Eric worked so hard peoples teeth fell out! Medical team had a lot of stomach aches, but most of the people today had fillings, cleanings, and hundreds of extractions.

voices lifted up

The construction site was hot as Haiti...literally! But we seemed to form some good relationships with the masons and workers (some of whom aren't believers). Most of us are picking up Creole words that are helping us get by and getting laughed at in the process.
The VBS started out with 9 kids and by the end of the... day had 200 it was awesome, because we could here them singing from the construction site that was half a mile away!

Pray

Please be praying for our physical stregnth that we would rely and be sustained by God and not solely rely on our own capabilities. We are doing our devotions from James so be praying that our individual and group time would be guided by the Holy Spirit. Also please pray for opportunities to present the Gospel to the... lost and have the Gospel root deeper in our own hearts. Lastly for continued unity in Christ for our team.

Team in Haiti

This is the first official post on our new blog. The Haiti team should be in country now and I hope to post an update from them shortly. They left on Sunday from Radford and from DC on Monday. Please continue to pray that God will give them opportunities to share the light they carry in such a dark place. Pray also that the team would be an encouragement to the believers there in Haiti that they will be working with. Thank to all who helped make this trip possible.
