From Prayer to Dr Appt to Baptism

Started this day by leading prayer at the MCM Ministry School, awesome prayer with awesome students! At the end of the prayer one of the students came to me and said she wasn't baptized in water yet and she so wanted to be baptized right away! Wonderful!

So, after my Dr appointment were I found out that our next little one is doing just great Sharayah, I and some of her friends from the class went down to the little creek that runs through Hampton Township, and there she buried her old life and a new Sharayah resurrected with Jesus!

Great day!

Miracles and Chocolate Ice Cream

This past week have been so full of prayer-slots for the Haiti festival, prayer school were we prayed for Haiti, reporting about Haiti etc etc that nothing else has been on my mind really. The outcome of the festival is amazing; 3,200 precious Haitians that have now started their life with Jesus, 1,000 clothed with power when they were baptized in Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues and all the miracles. Just imagine how different life is for the three blind that now wake up in the morning, being able to see the faces of their children and see what color the sky is, imagine when the person that was deaf hear the voice of his or her loved ones for the first time. Wow, that is what our God does, He gives LIFE back to people, He restores what was once broken and makes something beautiful of it!

So, today when I sat down by my computer to catch up on some work I got so into it that I didn't hear what Lucas did. While I was busy reading e-mails and searching for information on the web he snuck into the freezer and showed his little head into the chocolate ice cream :). He was so happy and content that I had to take his picture before I put him in the bathtub. I love it!

Unloading equipment in the dark

So after a long day on Saturday, the first truck with the sound system cleared customs and arrived to Port-au-Prince and the festival site. We had to wait until nightfall before the inspector came to inspect the goods. That was a fast process it turned out and we could proceed to offload from one container and move the sound equipment to a tractor trailer for storage until the main containers arrive.

Learning the world of shipping involves a lot of patience, especially in this part of the world. We are learning fast that it is all but simple. And then trying to bring equipment in to a country where the entire system is corrupt just adds to the frustration. In the end though, we grow in patience - it is after all a fruit of the Spirit..

Enjoy some pictures from when we offloaded the container in the dark...
