Travel Home

It was a great trip. We learned much more about the state of church leadership development in Haiti and how we can support them in prayer. I also gained a new appreciation for Pastor Riccardo and the influence that he has had in the lives of many people. We met several men who are now pastoring churches (and some leading groups of other pastors themselves) after having been taught by him. However, even with this significant influence that he has had, and continues to have, he remains a humble servant of God. We can continue to pray that God will use him and his family to influence others with the gospel.

Speaking of his family, I took a picture on our final day of the ladies in the house (they had to get dressed up for the photo :) ), many of whom helped care for us while we were in country. We ate very well and were the beneficiaries of their wonderful hospitality.


You can also see in the picture from left to right, Reghi, who was our chauffeur many of the days as we traveled and has his characteristic smile and joyful demeanor; Reghi's brother, with whom I joked was the more handsome of the two ;); and Paul Goodner, one of our team who visited these good people.

I also took a picture of our plane for the ride home to the U.S.


It was certainly good to be with our brothers and sisters in Haiti but it is also good to head home to see our families. For those of you who realize that we were gone over Valentine's Day, don't worry. I already thanked my wife for her flexibility as we served other believers even though we missed the specific occasion of the holiday. :)

Thank you for your prayers for us on the trip and for your continued prayers in support of the churches in Haiti and their efforts to spread the gospel to the glory of God.
