Russ and Joe arrived in Haiti without incident on Tuesday August 17th. Facility repairs are being made all around the compound. The Living in Faith container is now unloaded. Praise the Lord! The "Evangebox" and the diesel generator are a HUGE hit. The school and church have been without power due to a problem in the power lines. The diesel generator is working providing electricity to that entire portion of the compound. There was a conference at the school on Saturday and the generator was working in the "boy’s" room with extension cord running to the cafeteria providing power for the conference.
Haitian evangelistic team may try to use the bed of a truck to haul the generator, "EvangeBox" and screen to each location, so they just have to pull the truck up and plug and play. This will be a wonderful tool to reach people with the gospel message.
A surgical team arrived on Thursday to help with the medical cases. All the medical surgeries have gone well except for one. On Friday night, one woman was having problems with a hysterectomy surgery. The doctors ran into a cancer and she began bleeding. Much time was spent on controlling the bleeding. She is AB negative and one staff member was the same type so there was a transfusion. Please keep her in prayer.
Russ visited the church in Droullard on Saturday. This is a church that operates a water purification system (WPS)from LIF. Pastor Destine was full of praise about the WPS.
Water meter read 194196 gallons!!!! That is ALOT of water!!! People are coming from far distances for water and the church is now full to the point they have a canopy set up in the front to shelter the people. Praise God for this life sustaining blessing!
Pastor Arthur at Double Harvest plans to begin building the first of the $2000 houses that he is building for the Haitians who have lost their homes this week. The homes might take more than 2 weeks to complete with limited Haitian labor and materials. The houses are necessary… Russ says "I was looking at some of the sick houses and they are in sad shape with all of this rain."
Continue to lift up the team and the situation in Haiti up in prayer. Russ and Joe are scheduled to return on August 28th. Check back soon for more updates.

Praise the Lord for His grace and provision!! The sea container that Living in Faith shipped at the end of June arrived safely at Double Harvest in Haiti. This container will be staying in Haiti for Living in Faith ministry supply storage and possibly the beginnings of a building. Continue to pray along with us for the Lord to reveal His will in every aspect of our ministry operations in Haiti.
Russ has been busy in the eye clinic despite the heavy rains which has turned everything to mud. They have been delivering eyeglasses and greatly improving vision. One lady who had a cataract removed last month is now working, cleaning houses and cooking. She now is able to earn a living again at 75 years old. The photo above shows her praising the Lord for her renewed life.
