ITS A NEW SEASON

For those of you reading my blog for Haiti updates, I have a pretty big one today...

As previously mentioned, things in Haiti change by the minute. After much prayer, planning, and fundraising it seems that our trip will be postponed until further notice. After the earthquake occurred, and we saw an opportunity to go and serve, we were given the go ahead. Last night we received an e-mail from our missionary contacts advising us not to come at this time. They were hoping that the city would be further along in restoration than it currently is. They are still waiting for someone to step in and retrieve bodies that are still left among the rubble. With the rainy season approaching disease is starting to spread and there is a predicted outbreak that will be pretty bad if they do not get things cleaned up. Already local people are having to wear masks just to walk down the street. With these conditions, it is becoming very unsafe for travelers. They are hoping that things will be better by summer time.

As for our team, we are still praying and planning; waiting for the time when we are encouraged to come! For us, this is a new season... We know that things will be prepared perfectly in Gods timing and now we are being called to wait and prepare ourselves spiritually until that time comes. Please continue to pray for us and send words of encouragement, as we all know it is hard to sit and wait when we are ready and willing to go now!
