Day one complete
What a day it was! Brent here, checking in and saying hi. I swore I wouldn't look at a computer, phone, or anything, but today serving our Lord in Haiti was so Amazing I had to drop a line for all you bloggers out there. I served today with not only our entire team, but also alongside Pastor Lewis, our gracious host, and many of our faithful Haitian brothers. Wow! What an experience it was. Being with these people and seeing their hearts and all that they lack in material has made me realize how truly rich they really are. I see now how beautiful the united body of Christ truly is. Let me share with you some of the ways in which God used us and our team to further his kingdom here on earth. Our medical team were fortunate enough to make it through visiting over a 120 orphans and providing them with the proper vitamins and treatments. Dr. Gutierrez was able to reduce a child's hernia. Between him and the other doctors, Dr. Blatz and Dr. Sprunger, many illnesses such as severe scabies, dysentery, ring worm, and parasites were able to be addressed. Dr. Gilliam with and the dental team were able to perform 26 tooth extractions (owwwww!!!) and 4 fillings, (CRAZY). How amazing to see what the Lord can use us to do. Ready for Day Two!! Praise God , thank you so much, keep praying for us! Arniquet and Port-Salut orphanages, Here We Come
