My trip thus far has been the most life changing experience I’ve had in my life and in reality it is only the first full day here in Haiti. Through other missions trips in the past, I have experienced different levels of poverty, tradition, and how people go through their own individual lives daily, but nothing could have prepared me for what has happened and what we have experienced so far here. On our prayer walk today in Carrefour, the group that I was with encountered a man with severe burns on his right hand to the point where it was hot to the touch because of infection. Crystal has such a kind heart and offered to take him to get his burns taken care of correctly and get it properly cleaned and work on fighting the infection that, if not taken care of right away, could his hand or possibly die because of the infection. He said yes but when he was asked where he lived and how to get to his home to pick him up, he started acting a bit evasive. We decided to move on and continue. On the way back through, we decided to stop back in to see if the man had reconsidered and might cooperate with us. Well, God is so good and he answers prayer. The man approached us and apologized for his actions and started to cooperate. He showed us where he lived and explained that he acted a bit odd because he wanted his life to remain private and didn’t want to announce his address to everyone around, which is completely reasonable. He was picked up not that long ago and is on the way to Dr. Carl, a doctor that is known and trusted, to get looked at and ,Lord willing, healed of his injuries. I just ask that you continue to pray for the healing of this man and for our team as we go about the rest of our time here. Thank you so much for your continuous prayer and support.
