PAP Airport funSafe and sound in the MDL guest house! Very tired but good safe travel and no problems and it is great to see everyone. They are thrilled to have all the donations!
"Firsts” on our trip today:
- Luke talking about his faith with the stranger sitting next to him for about half of the flight to Miami.
- Entering the Port-au-Prince airport through a gateway! (Downside, no blast of hot air and scent of the city as you deplane onto stairs down to the tarmac.)
- Flying to PaP on a plane filled almost totally with “blancs”!
- Diving into the piles of luggage that they dumped into piles in a makeshift baggage claim…and emerging victorious!
- Hardly a glance from customs, to our very great surprise and delight.
- Seeing the earthquake wreckage first-hand. It is devastating. Flattened buildings. Debris piled up everywhere. But people everywhere, busy selling sugar cane, walking places, wiping car windows, and selling charcoal.

Tomorrow, we get to go to church at Port-au-Prince Fellowship!
Go Team! Word is spreading through Facebook about you guys serving there for the next couple of weeks. Much prayer happening all across the land. I'll also be sharing the blogsite address so stay faithful and keep us informed as time allows. May God continue to bless you richly.
