Day 1 in Haiti: Love the people

Hey everyone! We had a long but good day. Travel actually went pretty quick. We have about 40 people with about 56+ bags of 50 lbs or less that we checked -- not including our carry-on items.

We have wifi around the cafeteria area and are enjoying the slight breeze when it comes by ... I shared some photos on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=218959&id=502128180&l=6ed1097566.

God is so good. We are studying through Ephesians as a group. Tonight we talked about God's plan for us.

Dr. Wade from Southeastern Seminary shared: "What God is doing in the world He's doing with you in Haiti. ... God's plan is to unite all things in Him."

We are definitely going to be challenged this week. All of us are not used to this heat and humidity, especially in the fall temps in North Carolina.

It hasn't hit me yet -- what I have seen and heard today. The people desperately trying to survive in the midst of this challenge placed before them.

The area we are serving in felt the earthquake earlier this year but had very minimal damage from the quake. But there are so many needs. The children need to know God's love first and know the adoption that only He can offer. Some of them have parents who have died. Some have parents or relatives who have left them here because they can't take care of them. They go to school and learn the various subjects as well as have devotions two times today.

Earlier today, on the first leg of our trip I was able to share with a man from Jamaica about what we are doing and why.

God loves ALL the little children of the world. That includes me, a sinner saved by grace. But it also includes the children and the workers here.

Please continue to pray. This heat will wear on us all.

Pray for sleep. It is a different place, a different climate, different sounds, etc.

Pray for a productive day tomorrow. We already are facing some health issues on our team, from a lost voice to swollen legs.

Thank you for joining in this journey with me. May God bless you all!
