Days Eight and Nine for Mike and Bonnie Snider and the Holiday Hill and Wood Run Mission Teams in Bercy, Haiti and T.H.E. (Through His Eyes) Mission Team from Virginia
August 9 and 10
The departure day for the team began with a brief message on Acts 20, where Paul left on one of his missionary journeys. The message was regarding the fact that there is always a time to depart.
We dropped the Wood Run group off at the airport first, then headed off through PAP to get a check cashed and actually saw traffic lights and street signs. We stopped for souvenirs and cold drinks then took our Holiday Hill team to the airport. Sad to see “our team” go, but excited for them to go back home and impact their world!
Mike and I then went to Barbara Walker’s home for unwed mothers to purchase water filters. Bonnie fell asleep and didn’t get to meet Barbara. We received a phone call on the way home, saying that the 100 tents we ordered after the earthquake were finally here and ready to be picked up, which we did. Before we went home, we had to stop by the Marche (open market) in Cabaret for fresh fruits and veggies.
T.H.E. Mission, Shasta’s team was already moved into the orphanage when we did arrive home, so we held an orientation to familiarize them with the policies and procedures at the orphanage. They built a Samaritan’s Purse home and hiked up the mountain with the children before dinner.
The following day T.H.E. Mission team held a medical clinic and built a shelter. They also held an activity for the neighborhood children. The clinic had to be abandoned early because it was being held at a Samaratin’s Purse tent, which was needed that evening for Franklin Graham to speak at.
Mike repaired the screen on the door to our room. He does so much else, I can’t even begin to report on it all
