Travel Day and Blessings Already

Our opening blog post as a team might be brief as most of us have been up since the wee hours of the morning and some of the more youthful of our team never went to bed! That said, the Lord has been with us throughout our day of traveling from MSP to MIA and finally to PAP. All members were present and accounted for by 3:15 this morning; none forgot their passports, none got their 4th amendment rights violated by the TSA, and all were able to board safely and relatively quickly. I had a window seat for the flight to Miami and it was such a blessing to see the sun rise above the clouds and watch the night give way to day. I was reminded by God that this is truly the day that He has made and we should rejoice and be glad in it!  

Although we all are very tired, I'm encouraged by the work that God promised to do in each of us this week, both as a team and individually. In Isaiah 43:19, we read, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" God indeed is doing a new thing and as a teacher and administrator I could not be happier about it.  As this is the inaugural student team from Liberty, I truly believe that each member has been hand-picked and pre-ordained for such a time as this. Pray for His (not our) plans to be carried out this week and also for safety, unity, and openness to the leading of the Holy Spirit as we serve and are served by the people in Haiti.  

Please continue to check the blog daily as at least one of us will be posting each night. 

Plans for tomorrow include bringing 6,000 gallons of fresh, clean, and life-sustaining water to the people of Cité Soleil, visiting children at Elder School, and getting beaten in fútbol by the local neighborhood boys.

Thanks for your prayers thus far. 

May God show you more of Himself today.
