Stories from Lamoth

We spent the last two days in the mountain village of Lamoth. Here are a few stories:

A group of us prayed (in Creole and English) for a little girl who had some sort of neurological disorder. The mom was touched and we all felt God moving in that moment.

A kid, maybe 16, told me that his house burned down in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. He and his family lost everything. He wanted to know if I had any clothes that I could leave with him for his family. His name is Smith ("Smeeth"). Don't worry, he will get some clothes... But his family have a long way to go!

We worked with a team of Haitians to provide food, medical and other supplies. One guy that I connected with was a 32 year old translator named Raymond. He has such a heart for the Haitian people. He's helping us, Julio, as well as an orphanage, plus an organization based in Texas. (He spoke Creole, French, English, and Spanish).

I handed out stickers and candy and frisbees to kids. I don't speak much Creole, but we had a blast! I smiled and laughed with those kids while their parents waited or food.

I got to drive one truck back down the mountain to our base camp. It was all bumpy, dirty, crowded, up-and-downhill ride ever! The guy that was my co-pilot didn't speak English, so that made it a little tougher.

At the end of our time in Lamoth, we had a combined Haitian/American team meeting. One of the Haitian guys thanke us for coming, serving and loving the Haitian people. He concluded by thanking us and saying, "we have nothing to give you except love."

In two short days we gave food to over 600 people and gave medical treatment to 300 more. God is moving and using us here mightily. Pray for Our last three days in country as we continue to do His work. And pray for Haiti as there is so much left to do here!

Love you all! Working for the immediate and eternal in Haiti,
