First Haiti Trip, 2nd Update

September 25, 2004

Greetings from Haiti!

I hope all is well back in the States or wherever you may be (Guyana perhaps? J). Things here have been going very well. The flight in went smoothly and the first few days of traveling were without event, a great blessing from God. In our 13 hour-150 mile trip through Haiti, I was able to see a good amount of this beautiful country. The time was able to spend getting to know Bruce and Deb was awesome as well.

Bruce and I have been getting to work. We helped install some water pipe yesterday, and today was spent putting some windows at the new Team House and beginning to survey this afternoon. Things here move very slow, so we’ve been taking our little victories as we have them. Tomorrow we will most likely go and install a new pump on a well and continue with the survey work in order to determine the best location for a water reservoir.

A couple prayer requests:

for continued seeking and closeness with God on a daily basis
for unity and fellowship with Bruce, Deb, and I
for me to learn more of the language (creole)
for bonding with the Haitian guys I will be working with
for protection while we do our work
for God to bring Himself glory through whatever way He deems best.

Thank you all for your support. Your prayers have been evident in this trip; God has done nothing but continually bless us.

In Him,

Ben
