Trip to Massachusetts

We didn't run in the Boston Marathon, in fact we didn't even go watch it. But we were up in that area for several days and met with some great people who are really interested in using there talents for the benefit of Haitians and for the glory of God.

We got to meet with the board of Servants for Haiti to talk about ways that we can collaborate in the future. They gave us several bags of soccer uniforms and equipment.

Our good friend, Jose Martinez hosted us in Rutland, MA and is our connection with Heritage Bible Chapel in Princeton, Massachusetts. We spoke during the Sunday School hour and show a short video about the ministry during the regular service. We got to meet with some wonderful members of that church in a couple of meetings. We were given more bags of soccer balls and equipment which filled in every space in the Nissan Altima we were driving.

It was great to meet with people who knew a lot about Haiti and some who had read "When Helping Hurts," an important book that many of us who work in countries struggling with poverty are grappling with.

We also had the opportunity to see some of our extended families and a generous couple from Heritage Bible let us stay at their house on Cape Cod.
