This has been a very busy team season for Global Outreach Haiti. The Runk's had a small team from their church come to make a video for them plus take pictures of the Gran Moun (Old People's) feeding program. We would love to have sponsors for this program. Right now we use undesignated funds to purchase their food but seems as though these funds are dwindling over time.
It is always good to have the Haitian Baptiste Convention pastors and families here for a retreat the week before Easter. There is so much demand on the Haitian pastors that often they don't have the family time they need. We set aside these four days each year to minister to their families. Scott Hodges, from NC, brought in a team to minister with us during the third week of April. Scott and his wife are adopting a little Haitian girl named Monica. We were able to go by the orphanage to visit her and received a special blessing. They allowed Scott to bring her out to our compound for several days. The man running the orphanage had been to our compound...knew who we are...so after some papers were signed we were able to leave with Monica. The papers were to show ...if we were stopped or questioned.... that we had permission to have her with us.
We flew out to the US the end of April to attend the GO Spring Board Meeting. After the meeting we were blessed with a week of R & R as we celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary. We drove to Savannah, GA, Hilton Head and then to Atlanta. We met up with Pastor Kelly and his wife Emania to attend a banquet on Friday night and their daughter Kernyne's graduation from college on Saturday. Really a proud time for all of us. She graduated Summa Cum Laude.
