Mission Trip to Haiti

 

 Below the Mission Helps crew boards the Missionary Flight Int'l airplane in Ft. Pierce, FL. 

enroute to Haiti.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is inside the plane. One side is used for stowing cargo. A lot of cargo is sent each trip to Haiti. This plane used to be an army plane! Now it carries everything from missionaries to cargo to horses and goats, they were told!

This is what the unfinished upstairs apartment for the Danny Flowers family looked like when Jonathan's crew of eight arrived. Here Dave Weaver and a couple other guys are laying out the cupboard plans for the kitchen. The other men got busy putting up drywall right away. 

This is the main living quarters on the mission compound. In the first story live the national pastor and his wife and four children. To the right in the wing live the eight orphan boys that the mission cares for, and further down the wing is where the Mission Helps crew stayed. There were no glass windows--it was open to the air--and to roosters, dogs, cats, voodoo off in the distance, and the sounds of prayer in the church at 5:00 in the morning!

 Here is the church where the early morning prayer meetings were held.

This is the school that the mission staffs with Christian teachers. 

At night, the men wore headlamps to work, and used the generator.

Jonathan's main job was to install conduit and to wire the apartment for electricity. He said the Flowers are not going to have it easy when they arrive in January to a still unfinished house. But the crew sure got a lot done while they were there. 

I believe the guys are working on sewer pipe here in the darkness.

More work. Three young guys traveled 8 hrs. from Port au Prince from GMC missionary Don Mobley's work. These young men were from Don's orphanage there. Don also loaned his truck for the purpose of this trip. Blessings on him and his people for their sacrificial support!

Building drawers for the cabinets. Hope to post more later. Jonathan hasn't even had time to show us all the pictures yet. It is just so good to have him home again. We missed him so much those ten days!
