When the team was here last month, Donnie and I went visiting in the village. It’s quite an adventure to be out and about in the village. The sights, sounds, and smells are truly Haiti. I love seeing friends from church and the excitement on the faces of the school children as they spot the “blanc” walking by. They run after us grabbing my arm, grinning & singing “Mama Sherry,...

Saturday morning I woke up (although I really didn’t get too much sleep during the night) feeling pressed down & overwhelmed. I had had a really busy week, with several unresolved problems looming, and a lot left to be accomplished in the few days I have left in the US. What a difference one morning of worship and a nights sleep can make I am sitting here in my comfy chair looking...

With so many little hands to leave grimy fingerprints (and more ), there is no shortage of painting projects around the house & mission. This group took on the much needed (and much avoided) task of painting bathrooms. Yaay! First, a whole lot of scrubbing and prep work….. next, about a hundred coats of the thin, watery, whitewash-like liquid that Haiti calls (wink, wink) paint… ...

He debrided and prescribed antibiotics, treating him daily for the week he was here- and then dressing changes continued for some time after his departure- but eventually Exantus stopped coming and we lost touch with him. Then in January...

One of the bigger projects these teams took on was a community medical clinic. But the work of the medical team begins long before arriving in Haiti. First a team is put together, this time we had 2 doctors, 3 nurses, and a physical therapist as medical professionals on the team. But they can’t do it without the help of many non-medical volunteers. Next medicine & supplies have...

Doesn’t sound very glamorous? Maybe not, but teams come here month after month and do just that. I thought I’d spend a few days outlining some of the projects, tasks, ministries, accomplishments and even just plain old fun that last months team(s) accomplished. Every month teams work on similar projects and more….all in Jesus name. Why? Because they want to sweat? Because...
