Haiti2016

Today is bittersweet. If you ever go into the mission field you will understand the feeling you get on the day you have to leave. There is joy but it is laced with sadness. I have been blessed in that I have had the opportunity to stay in country longer than most of the Lott […]

This is the team’s last full day in Haiti. It’s also the culmination of my two weeks here. As I’ve stated before, this last day is one where we, the missionaries, debrief and de-stress before heading back to our regular lives in the US. After breakfast we get into cars and head to a former

The reason why Lott Carey sends missionaries to Carries, Haiti is because of a mudslide which occurred in August 2015.

Most of the team spends the morning at the clinic today. There is also a small painting job at the orphanage. We plan to meet up at the soup kitchen around 11 am and then have playtime at the school during their lunch hour. The team brought jump ropes to share with the students and

Team Trinity has packed their bags and loaded up the van for the ride back to the airport in Port Au Prince. It’s about an hour’s ride so we roll out around 9:30 am after taking team photos with some of the staff. We have about three hours between Team Trinity leaving and Team ASBC

Today is the last full day for Team Trinity here in Carries, Haiti. We spend extended time in fellowship today as most of the team will return home tomorrow.

There are two additional bedrooms we need to paint at the orphanage and we are up for the challenge to get them done today. Before we head to the orphanage, we go further up the mountain to see one of the homes being built by the missionaries from Lott Carey. Two teams before us, mostly
