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.

This is Cindy yesterday
This baby is  4 days old. Sorry not time for a lot of info this am. We had a long post last night but it wouldn't upload. We will try and give you a good update tonight. We did see 151 people in a tent city yesterday. Very bad storm here last night so it will be interesting to see what it looks like today. Will also try and get more pictures up soon. We have been very busy and the connection has not been great when we have time. God is working and we have seen some amazing things all ready.
Tim for Everybody.

Haiti Day 1

We arrrived safely in Haiti last evening after 3 uneventful flights. All of our totes made it through intact. Praise the Lord for that. The dental team is missing one of theirs. Hopefully it shows up soon.

Today we got down to business. The constructions guys cleaned and organized the warehouse and started the finish work on the chicken coop. They are expecting the chickens to arrive soon and they will need their house ready to live in before then!

The medical team helped in clinic , sorted the med totes , and packaged meds for the remote clinic we will be doing tomorrow.

We have seen familiar faces, and met a lot of new people also. Things here are changed so much since last May, that it is nearly unrecognizable. A LOT of new buildings are completed or nearly completed. The new dorms are very roomy, and comfortable to sleep in at night thanks to the air conditioning. The bathhouses are almost done. We are using the temporary ones this trip, but look forward to using the new ones next time.

Todays picture is looking out from the current dining hall toward the clinic and offices. It was hot today, but partly cloudy with a good breeze which helps it feel cooler. There were a few rumbles of thunder a bit ago, but no rain so far. We had a few sprinkles last night but not enough to really wet the dust down.

Looking out to the western hills from camp you can see thousands of tent spread over the sides of the mountains. Those weren't there last May when we were here.

Its almost time for dinner. It smells like BBQ chicken. Guess we will find out soon. Lunch was beans and rice with spaghetti sauce. Quite tasty, and filling too. Families, rest assured we are NOT going to go hungry this week! And yes we are drinking our water! The water is clean and pure, but tastes just a little salty.

I'm going to post this while the connection is still good.

Blessings to all!
Cindy (for everyone)

Team ABC Prep day.

Here is the first picture of team ABC. They are from the left Dan Woolston, Etienne York, Barb Woolston, Carlton Osborne, Heather Meade, Mark Randall, Cassedy Meade, Cindy Peterson, Tim Peterson, Mark Eckler, Pastor Bill McFeaters. The 22 totes are pretty much packed and inventoried. Maybe just a few more odds and ends to stick in. We had a commissioning service at Avoca Baptist this morning followed by tote packing and lunch. It was nice for everyone to meet families and get to know each other a little more before we set off. We were reminded that God is in control as a local family deals with a tragedy.

Our flight leaves from Rochester at 6am on Tuesday morning. That means we need to leave Avoca no later than 3:30 am. Some of us seem to think that is a little early.

Satan is busy trying to discourage and disrupt, but our God is greater and preparing great things for us to accomplish, and ALL for HIS glory.

We are having a Valentine's party with the MAPS kids at ABC tonight. We will be getting to know them and they will ge getting to know us. They are a wonderful group of little prayer warriors, and we will be counting on their prayers while we are gone. Of course we count on everyone elses prayers too!

We are looking forward to what God will do through us and in each of us. We will update as internet connectivity allows,(it's spotty in Chambrun) so keep checking!!!

Thanks for all your prayers and support!!

Tim and Cindy for the whole ABC team
