Travelling with the Corban Team!

This past week we visited 6 schools in Port-au-Prince and then on Friday we ventured out to Leogane to visit 2 more schools.

Everywhere we went the children were excited to see us, and we were happy to see them. We played with them and then shared the Gospel using a "3-ball magic trick" illustration as well as "wordless book" bracelets.

On the way back from Leogane we visited the new property of the "Jehu's Boys" orphanage. The property is on the side of a hill overlooking the Port-au-Prince bay and is a gift from God as it was purchased from the Mayor of Gressier at a very low price. The new building was not damaged hardly at all by the earthquake and will house a school and living quarters for the boys when it is done.

Later in the afternoon on Friday we worked on the basketball court at Quisqueya Chapel that Indian Trail church (the home church of the team leader) gave us money to expand and renovate. It is going to be great when it is done.

Saturday we took a long road trip to Verrettes with a plumber/electrician to plan how to install a water purification system that will supply the whole community with clean drinking water. The team also played with some Bible Club children and Jean Paul shared the Gospel with them and 4 children trusted in Christ.

Later that day we went to the beach for the afternoon and also snorkeled a bit.

Sunday we visited Tabernacle, a Haitian church and then most rested since some of the team were sick.

I took two of the men out with me to a clinic in Cazal along with 4 children and their mothers who were sick. Licia and Laurie, the nurses at the clinic, were very kind to see us and after examining the children gave us lots of medicine to help them get over Diarhea and worms.

Today we are going to visit 2 schools - one near Fort Jacques - a historic fort we will also visit while there.

The team leaves early tomorrow, and we will be sad to part, but rejoice in the over 30 children who have trusted in Christ this week!
