Isaiah 40:31 They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings as eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint.

Hello again. Well we have been home for 1 week and still miss Haiti. We had the opportunity to do a follow up interview with WETM news this afternoon. We really felt very inadequate trying to explain the situation and the people there. Hopefully God can use it to get the word out even thru our inadequacies. We also did a follow up interview on FLN yesterday. They have been great about keeping us and the entire team in prayer and keeping people updated.

The pictures today are of one of the tent villages. The top picture was taken on Monday and the bottom picture was taken on Thursday. You can see how much it grew in 4 days. We have seen follow up pictures that it show it even larger. As you can see they really aren't tents but whatever material they can scrape together to use as cover. It is the reason that we are trying to come up with tents to send down. Many people don't even have anything to use as a tent. To our camping friends out there just imagine living rustic for more than a weekend and without the thought of a hot shower to go home to. There are no toilets, no outhouses, nor running water. No playground and definetly no swimming pool yet. Unfortunately this tent city is in the flood plain and could very well be under water during the rainy season. So SEND THOSE TENTS PLEASE.

We have not heard for sure but E'Tienne should have had a flight home today. Also we recieved an e-mail from the team there currently that someone had reported that the NVM people were starving and not getting enough to eat. We want to assure everyone that the teams are being well cared for by Pastor Pierre and his staff. His primary focus is always the health and well being of those who are coming to help. The food is not fancy nor maybe the portions that we would eat here in the states but it is very tasty and more than sufficient. Could be that manyAmericans are over weight. HMMMMM.

We have several speaking engagements coming up in the next couple of weeks. As the dates firm up we will list them here. Please pray that we are able to communicate accurately what we have seen and what God is doing and will continue to do in Haiti. We are currently trying to learn a few Creole words a day.

Mesi (Thank you )

Tim and Cindy.

  3. Thank you guys for your work and commitment to NVM. The updates are great. Thanks for updating on the teams there being taken care of. Pastor does take very good care of us. I think you guys can attest to the fact that we are spoiled rotten even there. I loved working with you and hope we meet there again on a trip.
