What a Day...again!
Today began with the packaging of 300 Manna Packages. These contained 5 manna packs (a small pack that makes a complete meal for 6) and 15 seed packages. Through these 300 packages we will be able to feed 1000 people for a week! We are so blessed! Our team has had a wonderful opportunity to serve here. Tomorrow we will be a part of the largest food distribution to date at the church. The tent city that we have been at for the last couple of days is only 500 meters beyond the church walls. All property in Haiti is walled. It is very significant to the people as well as having security benefits. This will be the first time many of these people have come to the church. We are very excited about that because the church has a deep well that produces clean water. They open 3 water taps outside the church for the community to get water. (There are pictures of them at the link) The church opens these up to the community for 2 hours every morning and 2 hours every evening. We will have a chance to tell so many more people about the Free CLEAN Water at the food distribution not to mention tell them about the source of Living Water.
When we returned to the tent city to paint the school this afternoon we had a chance to work with some more of the kids, teens and young adults. One young man had been by the school yesterday and we spoke with him for a short while but did not have much chance to share with him. As we talked last night we prayed for him and that there would be an opportunity for him to hear the gospel. Today he came back and helped us paint. As we were almost done he ask me if we would pray with him before we left. Robert spend some time talking and sharing with him and we were able to lead him to the Lord!!!!!! Talk about answered prayers!
When we returned to the base camp we were ecstatic. It had been such a wonderful day and we were so blessed. THEN we found out that then new church building that was held at customs for the last 7 months had just been released!
GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!
So many wonderful things are happening I feel like I can't explain them all fast enough. I hope you are feeling a bit of the excitement that we feel.
Thanks for your prayers and please keep praying for us, Haiti and the church leaders here.

WOW! Looks like hard work in the heat! Any showers there?! Do the people live in tents because of the earthquake -- or did they always do so? Loved your slideshow, watched it with our 8 yr old daughter last night. We are so thankful for what we have here. Wish I could be there with you. Stay safe... love Renee (Naprawa family)
