Final Morning in Haiti

I got up, showered, and packed this morning. I am awaiting the 6:30 morning Bible study at Faith Hall, the final one of the trip.

As I sit here drinking my coffee while waiting, I'm reflecting on yesterday (Monday). At the close of Sunday's evening devotion I prayed that it would be the most productive day so far. It certainly was that!

After Bible study & breakfast, I got to preach to an audience of around 200-250 elementary students at an assembly at the church. I was accompanied by my favorite translator, Pastor Benjamin. Pete says he captured the whole thing on video, so I hope to see it soon.

After the assembly, I quickly changed out of my preaching clothes & into my scrubs for the medical clinic. We set a goal to see as many of the remaining high school students as possible, and by the end of the day we had seen every one! Over the 4 days, every student from every grade was examined & given needed meds & vitamins! They shared last night that over the course of the 4 days, we saw 638 people! Each one was presented the gospel in their native Creole language. Physical needs and spiritual needs were addressed in 638 lives!

After the clinic closed, Pete & I finished the electrical work at the elementary school. The light fixtures were installed, so now the entire school has lights in each classroom!

By the end of the evening we were exhausted. After nightly devotions (in which Dr. A.Z. Holloway & his wife Glean shared their testimonies), we turned in for the night. We enjoyed the well-earned rest.

I have to go to morning Bible study now, but I'll keep updating as I get the chance. Our plane is scheduled to leave Haiti at 11:30 local time today!
