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!

A busy weekend of soccer tournaments

This past weekend (Sept. 11-13) AIS Haiti sponsored teams in three
different tournaments.  On Friday, our under 16 team from Borel won the
final game 1 to 0 to become the winners of an U-16 regional tournament
sponsored by the Haitian Soccer Federation.  We gave out Bibles to
several of the tournament organizers and the team will participate in a
service of thanksgiving at their local church on Borel.

Also on Friday, our regional committee in Jacmel hosted the final of a
“Ti Kan” (3 per side) tournament.  There were lots of people there and
the Pastor shared the Gospel clearly during half-time.   Lots of
response cards were collected, but so far not one indicated that they
trusted Christ.  Please pray that the Holy Spirit will draw people to
Christ as the evangelism counselors follow up with those who filled out
response cards.

On Sunday Elysee Vaillant, one of our key leaders on the AIS Haiti
board, led his team made up of former Lemuel players into the final of a
“Ti Kan” (3 per side) tournament.  Even though they lost 6 to 3, Elysee
was able to share the Gospel with the players on the other team and give
several community leaders who attended a Bible.  In addition, over 500
evangelistic tracts were handed out to those that attended the game.
