The latest information I received about my Haiti trip started as follows:"Conditions are still very rough. You will be sleeping in tents in a noisy location near the Port a Prince airport (bring earplugs). Days are long and the temperatures have been in the 90’s. The working conditions are typical of a disaster situation and not ideal. Please be prepared for this... Our motto in these situations is always Be Flexible and remember you are there to serve."
Wow. Wondering what it will be like. Rough. Tents. Noise. Hectic airport. Heat. No electricity. Possibly no access to running water. Busy clinic. Long days. Ruins everywhere. Uncertain communication possibilities. Patients we cannot help. Full referral centers. Definitely not the easiest of circumstances. But yes, definitely many opportunities to serve. And in the midst of it all there will be glimmers of hope. Patients we can help. Children smiling. Adults thanking. Experiencing the resilience of the Haitian people. Seeing God move.
I am trying to prepare myself...

We will be praying for you wherever we are located, we are so thankful that God will be using you in this Nation, a Nation in so much need. We pray that the little and big ones you touch will feel a touch from a God who cares and loves. We pray that you yourself will feel carried by His love. A day at the time, a patient at the time...
