A quick note from Steve

Hi Everyone!
On behalf of the Haiti2010 team, thanks so much for following us on this blog as we have the incredible honor of serving in Haiti with both Pastor Liberius and ROTH. More than that, thanks for your prayers and kind words as we seek to do the works the Lord has prepared for us here. It really has been a great time of learning to serve in the Lord's strength, especially since ours dries up so fast in the heat and long days!
I can tell you that for the mission that we've been given, there couldn't be a greater team! These men and women are fantastic witnesses for Christ, hard workers beyond imagination in these circumstance, and just a lot of fun to hang out with...I am blessed to lead such a team.
I wish I had the time to tell you the details of the love that they have expressed to sick and dying patients, the great physical strength and 'construction' wisdom with which they have blessed the orphanage and the deep commitment to personal holiness I have observed. We've cried together, we've prayed together and we've had fun together...and I fully believe many on this team will be affected for a lifetime. Mercy ministry has been done with an excellence that I am so very proud of...and you would be too!
I can't wait to brief the church on all that has been done and all that God has done. However, before we even leave Haiti in the coming days, I want you to know how very encouraged and proud I am to call each and everyone of these saints my brothers and sisters. They have done well!!!!
Please continue to pray (as we can tell you are), it makes a huge difference for us...and by God's good grace we will see you back in the Baltimore area on Saturday night.
Love in Christ to all, who is the reigning King of ALL the nations,
Steve

  2. Hi team - hope you enjoyed the beach and meal with Darby's family! We prayed for a fun safe day! Matt - I spoke with Toby this morning. He said they are doing engine rigging runs today and the first test? flight is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. He said things look great and are going wonderfully. He asked how you are doing and how the trip has been thus far. He leaves for vacation Sunday morning. Love you - C
