A.C.C. Missionaries Update Wed Mar 10 6:44 PM

A group of 20 total went to Haiti Monday night, arriving back on Friday. 9 from our group and 10 from the Rhode Island group went on a bus with a truckload of food and supplies. We got a text from them this morning reporting a safe arrival, and a busy day serving 400 people.

Work teams here continue serving at the bateys - perhaps 100 a day for medical needs and a Batey Bible School (BBS) that is adored by the kids - many times 50 kids or more. The batyes are a sight to see and certainly to experience - tremendous need but very warm, accepting and grateful Haitians.

Construction teams are painting, moving sand, hammering blocks, etc. We're doing great, having good fun, great fellowship, tremendous food and much Grace.

The Sunday services (one in AM, one in PM) were extraordinary; we sang at both and had the entire congregation singing Lord I lift your name on high with us and with the hand motions that Brittany fortunately remembered.

PS - you should see Brittany, Katey, and Cole serving in the Bateys both at BBS and with the medical team, and leading the sugar cane sampling entourage!

We all send our love, our prayers, and positive reports.

Your Missionaries in DR & Haiti.

Just a quick note to say hello and report in from the group. We thought we'd share a few things that you might want to share in church on Sunday.
We may be able to send an update (to this same account) on Saturday, but in case we don't, here goes:
