Here I am sitting in the Miami airport... again. This trip is only about four days, but it still takes a deep breath and some mental preparation. Haiti is a tough place to go... especially when you are emotionally invested in the people there.
I have the privilege of accompanying a friend, Scott Long (Mission E4) on a parlay with Samaritan's Purse about a sub-contract to help with the transitional housing problem for displaced families. It would be a part-time stint for me so that I can rely less on donations and more on my MA Degree. Our plans for the discipleship training school will have to begin slow and grow as we find funds. The most important thing now is to get ourselves to Haiti.
I will also be looking for a house to rent and negotiate a price and secure it for Aug. 1st. We need to have a home to come to...
