The earlier update shows many photos from Haiti, but most of them were from the Pastor’s Conference. I’ve just got to show you some pictures of our student team that went to the mountains to Haiti the last week of March. They gave up their whole spring break to serve and held Vacation Bible Schools at five voodoo villages. Plus one at the main Jerusalem Church Complex.
Remember now, there was no TV, no internet, no cell phone reception, no running water, no indoor bathroom facilities…. We had a few hours of electricity in the evening from a generator. It was a real cultural shock to all.

HAITI …..What kind of thoughts does that word bring to your mind?
Right now there is a WARNING out by the US Government about Americans going to Haiti. We had no problems at all.
Just got back, in April, from a mission trip with Truth Ministry www.truthem.org
The whole trip was quite amazing. We were in the mountains of Haiti several hours to the north of Port Au Prince. It was like a step back in time. No electricity, no plumbing, inside or out, no phones, no cell phones, no running water. The main source of transportation is by donkey. Reminded me of rural Tennessee back in the late ’40s and early ’50s. However, there were many, many good things about the people. They were very friendly, kind, and considerate of each other and our group.
My job was to document, on video and photos, the efforts and mission of Truth Ministry in Haiti. We were there for 19 days, during which we documented both a series of Youth Vacation Bible Schools, and then the following week, a Pastor’s conference.
There were over 50 Hatian pastors in attendance at the Pastor’s Conference and the VBS was held at 5 different voodoo villages in the mountain region. The VBS was lead by pastors from various churches in NW Florida and assisted by youth from several of those churches.
Daily pastor conferences……
Ginette involved in her early morning Bible study.
Looked like a National Geographic special, but only 300 miles off the coast of Florida
Yep, you are correct………. no pants at all.
The main source of transportation in the mountains of Haiti
