The first news!

We have received an update from the team! It was sent last night but not received until this morning.  We are thankful to have heard from them.

Hey Ya'll,

Just want you to know we have arrived safely! All flights were smooth and on time. The team is doing well. We are staying at a beautiful mission house tonight and DeeDee (Dr. Snyder's wife) made us a delicious spaghetti dinner. Tomorrow we wake early for a morning walk, breakfast and head for Dessalines. That trip will take about 3 hours. 

This team of youth are amazing. They were very confident travelers and seem to get along so well. We've had fun playing cards in the airport, sharing food and snacks and enjoying "culture shock" together as we traveled through Port Au Prince this afternoon. 

Keep praying for them. They need good rest tonight (we all do) and pray for protection, safety and continued good health. 

All seems peaceful here in the country and we can't wait to see what opportunities we have to serve and share. One lady came up to us at the airport asking if we were a Christian group. I said "Yes, we are." She said, "Will your group please pray quickly for a friend of ours who has arrived here at the Miami airport from Nicaragua. He is supposed to go to Haiti with us, but they are holding him in immigration and delaying him. Our flight leaves in a few minutes. Will your group please pray?" We immediately got together as a team and prayed for this man. We don't know the outcome, but it showed our team that no matter where we are, we have opportunities to serve, share and pray for others.

Good night and more later....

With a happy heart to be here in Haiti!!!
