In just 34 hours all the last minute exercises in preparation will be ended as Joel, Judy, Rita M, Sham and the rest of our team members from across the country head out to Port-au-Prince, Haiti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti). When we arrive we will be meeting up with our wonderful host Rita D and another PFBer Bibi.
Haiti has been on the heart of PFB for over 50 years as we sent out pioneer missionaries Harold and Ivah Heneise to work in the Northern city of Cap Haitien. We continue to work with the Christian University of Northern Haiti (http://www.ucnh.org/) and the nearby Youth training Center. In addition we partner with International Ministries missionaries working in Haiti (http://www.internationalministries.org/places/haiti)
PFB in cooperation with Joe & Rita D. and thier foundation (http://jeffcdomondfoundation.org/) had set up a trip to go to Haiti but with the tremendous destruction from the January 12 earthquake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake) we were not sure whether we could move ahead. While our initial plans have changed slightly we are still heading out to work with children and families, except they have now encountered further devastation.
A large portion of our team from around the country will be focused on medical and dental care. Some of us will focus on children's ministry and ministry to women.
Pray for us and the people of Haiti. There are many who still lack basic necessities for living, including food. Pray that the many relief and governmental agencies will be able to reach the vast numbers of people and help rebuild this nation that have suffered for a long time. Continue to pray for spiritual revival as many hearts are appealing to God for an outpouring of His grace on the island.
