A word from our host, Gale Hull

It is hard to believe that 5 days have past since we landed. The construction part of the team has gotten an A-plus from the construction supervisor. Sandy has been a trooper working in the pharmacy. Cherith and Paula took care of mini twin babies. Leigh has shadowed in the clinic and helped build a new eating area for the team. It has been a blessing to be able to travel with Cherith on her first trip to Haiti. It has been great to have devotions with the team. Impressive to see the two youngest members of the team, taking a turn to lead the devotions.

Today the team did their various jobs in the morning until about one. Then after lunch we all unloaded the medicine from the Tap-tap. The team left to go to sugar cane museum while I went with two doctors to the displaced village people. So we had very different afternoon experiences. Cherith will talk about the team’s experience in the afternoon.

Going to the village, I realized that how much the Lord needs us to be here and how much we need to bring his grace and mercy to this people who have gone through so much.
