July 15, 2011

Monday July 11th Brian Tyndall...COO for our GO Home office arrived with his 17 year old son Caleb. It was their first time in Haiti. Great to be able to show them the ministry here. Our only regret was they arrived to late to see the Gran Moun Feeding program Monday morning and all our schools closed on July 8th. Sorry they missed the kids...especially the Kindergarten children. We were able to show them a lot of the ministry and they were able to spend time with each of our couples and their families plus Pastor Kelly. On Thursday they flew to Jacmel to visit with the Whittaker's before flying back to PAP on Friday morning. We had enough time for David to bring them back to the compound for lunch with all our staff and then back to PAP to fly back to the US.
Thursday morning we received a call that our container was on the road to the compound. WOW!!! We loaded the container on June 4th in Nashville. The container left Nashville on the 7th of June . July 7th it arrived in Haiti and believe it or not....it cleared customs and was on the GO property at 10:30 am this Thursday morning. (normally it is at least 4 to 6 weeks clearing customs). EVERYONE was enlisted to unload this container. We worked 5 hrs on Thursday and about 7 hrs today to complete the task. Needless to say it was a HOT HOT job. What made it more difficult was we had some huge shelving for our warehouse on the container plus 600 sheets of 15ft metal roofing for the new TiTanyen Church. Lots of clothes, shoes, blankets, folding chairs, ice maker, copier, welder generator, etc filled out the container. Lots of things to bless a lot of people. We want to thank everyone who contributed the items and especially those who came to Nashville to help load. Praise the Lord !!!!
