Because we are local and know the people and the terrain, God is continuing to use us in amazing ways to help humanitarian aid groups when they arrive in Haiti with supplies and loving intentions but no real knowledge of the area.
The week of April 11th on thru the 18th, I had the privilege to work alongside church members from a Baptist church in Mississippi deliver food to various churches in and around the city of Petit Goave and the mountain churches nearby.
It is only possible to reach the mountain churches on foot, so we had to load the food on horses and mules to get it up to the people. When we finally arrived on the mountain, we found out that we were the first relief they had received since the earthquake.
Also, we got to visit the highest mountain peak village in Leogane, (third highest in Haiti) called Seguin. It is about one and one-quarter miles high and the only assistance they had received arrived in the form of the amazing Dr. Mc Fadden, a seventy-one year old retired physician from Clinton, MS, who has been working in the village with only villagers as volunteer assistants from sun up to sun down providing vital care to the mountain people.
It was an awesome experience for all of us this week, and I was moved to see how God intricately connects people from various parts of the world to form effective teams to do His work.
All Praises to Jesus!
