What a great week! Last Friday March 18th a team of 9 from our home church.. Walnut Memorial Baptist Owensboro, KY and two ladies from Russellville, KY .. arrived in Haiti lead by Becky Ivy. Her daughter, Casey Dean, joined the group in Miami. The team came to work with the Sponsorship program. They did something really neat...they brought in new tennis shoes ...not only for the sponsored kids...but every kid in our schools. Can you imagine fitting around 300 kids with new shoes. This was a blessing BUT....that's not all....they also purchased and brought new shoes for all the old people in our "gran moun" feeding program....all 62 of them. Can you imagine not only buying over 500 pairs of shoes but organizing them and then packing them to come to Haiti?"They came with a servant spirit as the washed the feet of the "gran moun" and prayed for them before fitting them with shoes. David said one of the older ladies came by him and showed him her new shoes with tears in her eyes...then she lifted up her old sandals that were worn out and had been stapled together. We all agreed that it was probably the first pair of new shoes she had ever had in her life. God is good!
