A few weeks ago Richard decided it would be best if he took a trip back to Haiti to help the guys who are keeping AIS-Haiti going. He decided to ask someone to go with him. He asked Ed, who has shown some interest in the ministry to come down on a vision-trip. Ed asked his friend, Justin, to come along, too. The trip was arranged fairly quickly but our AIS Director was able to upgrade the guys to first class so that they could take some equipment down, too.
Last night the floor of the youth ministry game room was covered with soccer balls, cleats, uniforms, trophies, and more that they stuffed into suitcases to carry to Port-au-Prince.
They arrived safely in Haiti this afternoon. Here's what Richard sent me about their first day:
"When we arrived at the airport, a Skycap saw us praying and approached
to help us. After he helped us he said he would like us to pray for
him as well, and so we did.
Then as we were going through security, I was able to help out a
Haitian woman who did not speak very much english. We helped her get
to the gate, etc.
Ronald and Kerby met us at the airport and all of our bags arrived fine.
Then we went food shopping at Megamart for the week.
Then at night we played soccer on the new turf field at QCS. I got to
say hello to Mr. Hersey who says hello!
Tomorrow we go to PV and also Croix de bouquets to see the soccer federation."
