Part 4 : More of Haiti…

A big assortment of photos in this group.  Everything from Port Au Prince to the mountains.

Many of these new photos were taken before  Students and Pastors arrived.   Brother Chuck spent 3 days going all  over the city of POP to buy provisions for the Students and Pastor teams coming a few days later.

 First we went in and ordered hundreds of pounds of rice, beans and other supplies.

  Two days later we stopped and had it all loaded on the truck.

 

 

 This building supply company named  “ batimat” is our source of  lumber and building supplies in Haiti.

 

The only air conditioned building we experienced during our three days of gathering provisions and supplies before the two teams arrived. 

  This is a  Bible Book Store. We went here to buy several boxes of Hatian Bibles

Our Fantastic Student Team in Haiti Part 1

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.

Mission trip to Haiti

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

Ginette was the cook for our team.

 

Our transportration to the mountains of Haiti.  A two and a half ton Vietnam era military truck …. COOL !
