Today was a great day!  Started the day off with morning devotion at the Rock.  Spring led our devotion with a scripture from Acts.  Then off to Barbencourt.  What a beautiful walk.  While there we saw the ongoing construction of the new Hope for Haiti orphanage and school.  It will be amazing!   

We also visited 2 different orphanges.  The children were adorable and seemed to enjoy our puppet skit of the Woman at the Well.  We were able to give each girl a pillowcase dress and each boy a pair of shorts.  The children's faces were so precious.  They have so little and are so greatful for anything that they get.  I just wish everyone could experience what I felt today...it will break your heart for what breaks His!  Also while in Barbencourt we helped serve at the feeding center.  Lifeline delivers them food Monday through Friday so they can serve beans, rice with vitamins and minerals to over 350 students and the village kids. We arrived back at the mission house, at a quick lunch and then started making school benches so the nursing school here on the compound can begin meeting in their new location.  By the way, Holly is a beast with a drill!  Jimmy kept the saw going and the rest of us stayed busy putting them together.  Supper was awesome.  Tonight we had authentic Creole chicken with beans and rice.  The cooks are great...you never go hungry!  Well it's almost time for "lights out".  See you all on Saturday.  1 Corinithians 10:31 Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.    Jane Ann Gentry- Metropolis, IL

  1. We visited Haiti in January. We love to hear comments about Barbencourt. Six of our seven sponsor kids live there. We are so excited about the new school and orphanage. Thanks for ministering to our kids when we are unable to. The Suttles family.
