We have returned one more time. Your prayers lifted the team again up the mountains and
stayed by our sides as we witnessed the sadness left from the Hurricanes that plagued the
country of Haiti. While in Haiti, I kept visualizing an “open” sore on the body of Christ and I felt
that the sore was the country of Haiti.
Thru the eyes of Matthew Roy (a first-timer to Haiti), I again saw Haiti with fresh “first time” eyes.
Thru my new eyes I recognized that Haiti is a perpetual Hurricane disaster at all times. The whole
country normally looks like a Hurricane has passed thru the country! Buildings crumbling, full of
holes with broken bricks, roofs falling in, children with large swollen bellies and hunger in their
eyes; this is everyday Haiti! And NOW four hurricanes washed over Haiti bringing more
devastation to a country that teeters on the brink of perpetual brokenness.
