On Thursday the team left Port au Prince and headed for Kalico, Haiti. When we got to Kalico we sorted shoes and put together bags with toothpaste, toothbrush, candy, and stickers for the kids at Troufanban School, provided by Glow Ministries. We are waiting for 3 boxes of shoes to come in from Port au Prince today........we are praying that they came in so we can pass them out to the kids here along with the ones we took in our suitcase. Today (Fri) we passed the bags out at the Trufanban School, took pictures of the children that need sponsors for Glow Ministries and played with the kids. They sang for us and we did the "hokey pokey" which they just loved, and then made a train and "danced" all around inside the school house. The children were laughing and having a great time. Lily prayed with them and one little girl came up to us and showed us her scars that she had on her stomach from falling into a fire. Our hearts were touched by the love that these kids showed to each one of us. I started a "free hug" line and I think I hugged every child in that school, probably some several times. Thank God for this school at Trufanban...........and the teachers who are doing a great job of giving the kids an education.
Got to bag a lot of rice for tomorrow! Please keep the team in your prayers. There is Bettie, Teresa, both from Glow Ministries, Lily, from Pennsylvania and Frank and I. Oh, its so hot here.....and very muggy, probably in the 90's!!!
