UBC Team arrives in Haiti

We arrived in Port au Prince on Monday morning June 15th. We were the second team to arrive in the Mission to Haiti campus preceded by four members of the Arkansas team. We then greeted the subsequent teams from all over the US including a 37 member team from Maquoketa, Iowa. YES, 37 MEMBERS FROM ONE SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH.

Monday was spent getting to know each other and conducting team orientations. Tuesday morning we hit the ground with running with Renato, Joey and I joining the construction team doing light construction projects around the campus as well as repairing two homes in the neighborhood. We replaced the roof of one house belonging to a family with an eight month old baby. The existing roof had so many holes in it that you could see the sun shining through wherever you stood inside the home. Tomorrow, Renato, Joey and I travel to the village of Ti Goave for three days to build a home for a widow and her three children whose home was destroyed in last year's hurricanes.

The medical team conducted wellness checks of approx. 100 children and are scheduled to do hundreds more while we're here. More on that from Lukas tomorrow. He has been an invaluable translator for the team.

Ginger and Angie went to the women's prison where they preached the to Gospel to over 300 inmates and guards. More details from Ginger tomorrow.

Alexis and the VBS team travelled to two area schools ministering to over 200 kids. Tomorrow, 500 kids await them at one school, and you guessed it, stay tuned for more details on that from Alexis.

And all of this for His glory!
