Medical Clinic # 3

The day started with a devotion led by Shannon Sandefur. This really set the tone for the rest of the day as we were challenged to really trust God. The clinic was a very long bus ride. It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to the church for the clinic. The scenery was just beautiful. We got to ride along the coast and see the shore line. I think we saw right at about 300 people or a little more. We had 8 first time decisions for Christ. God deserves all the glory and all the praise. We got back to the guest house a little after 6:00pm and unfortunately it was late to make it to the revival. The revival started at 6 and after eating dinner we wouldn't have gotten there till around 8:00pm. Looking forward to tomorrow as we get to visit two orphanages. But more than that, I am excited to see what Jacob Sandefur has to share with us in the morning during devotion time. Thanks to the prayer ministry at Bellevue for covering us in a way that I have not experienced with another team. We are truly grateful to be part of a church family that is on mission for God. Your brother in Christ Mike Kelly.

Medical Clinic #2

We started our day with a devotion led by Brian and then we loaded up and headed to our 2nd medical clinic. Today we saw approximately 400 people and 16 accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I am tired and hot but very excited about being here. The people of Haiti have very little possessions but have a peace that surpasses all understanding. As an American, I am embarrassed by our waste. We waste more than most of the Haitians own and are definitely more unhappy. Keep praying for our safety but more importantly that people will be saved and we return to our homes as changed individuals.

Day 3 July 22 Monday

Debbie led us in our morning devotion at 7 am; followed by breakfast and then the loading of the clinical supplies, tables and chairs on a truck for transporting these items to "black mountain" area. The team and support staff got on a bus and headed to the service area. After arrival and carrying the supplies approximately half mile through a river bed and up hill, we finally set up clinic at 9:30 and completed serving the people in that area at 4:00 p.m. Approximately 470 people were seen at the clinic and 23 people accepted the Lord at our prayer station. A great and successful day! Jerry Jones

Hello from Haiti!

Yeah-I'm so excited to actually be able to log into our blog. We arrived in Haiti on Friday. The airport was an experience I will never forget. For those who know me-know that I like order; the airport was nothing but chaos. Saturday was a great day. We were able to paint a school, work with the children's ministry, and visit two orphanages. The children are so sweet and excited to see us. They are thankful for the smallest things. The children at the first orphanage sang to us-they had the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. The medical clinics start tomorrow. I am told we will see about 500 people everyday. Pray that they will be able to see Jesus in us. The heat index is supposed to be very high tomorrow-pray for safety for the team. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this trip possible. Thank you for the donations. Thank you for the prayers. Thank you for the cards. I can't believe that my husband and I were able to bring the entire family-it will be an experience that we will never forget.
