Leogane for Thirty Years, Mobile Medics and Bricklaying for Gladiator

Imagine just for a moment that you have served God faithfully for 30 years and in 30 seconds you lose part of your church and your home.

How strong is your faith when we have the slightest setback in the states? Or our first response to declare 'you give and take away' but.. 'Praise the Lord'?

The Pastor we are helping has been a faithful Haitian pastor for the Gospel for thirty years.

Dr.Crafton's team had a great day holding a mobile clinic and treating over 100 patients in six hours. Leogane was in great need of medical assistance and the team was so encouraged by the gratefulness of the patients.

The rebuild of the Pastor's home came with the Americans adapting to the melting sunbeams. We ate in the shade and twenty minutes later past noon felt like stepping out into an oven in that short amount of time.

David became a blocklayer to set the outside walls and Justin and I carried blocks. You basically lose feeling in your arms after two hours, develop heat rashes and dehydrate in the process.

Not that bad, who is ready to join the next team? God is Faithful and the source of our strength, all joking aside with the end goal of a two-hour drive home through Flag Day for the long anticipated....Gladiator Energy Drink made by Coca-Cola.

Amazing, have a coke and a smile today and Love Much for Jesus' Kingdom.

A man once told me on the Navajo Reservation who framed our children's home in two weeks its Joshua 1:8 and...

Hard Work!! That's ringing in my ears now..

Let's go church, leave the building and comfort?
