The Preachers

It was Francis of Assissi who wisely said, "Preach Christ always and sometimes use words."

There is an awful lot of quiet, but sweaty preaching going on in this hot land of Haiti.  Here are some of the preachers along with a Haitian friend.  Wow!!  There are a couple of darn good-looking men in that picture("Hi my husband and son!")  You will see just behind them the pad they have been working on.

Yesterday they began constructing this pad and then had to wait for rocks to arrive, not knowing when or if they would arrive.  Such is the eternal adventure of work and life in Haiti.  In the meantime Brian spent time getting to know the pastor and his family, so the waiting was never wasted time.

A quote from Brian from Thursday..."It's noon and we're having lunch.  All good.  We're filling the foundation with concrete.  Of course Cam and James legs are covered in concrete!!  Marilyn is leading about ten very young children in song."

More from Brian this morning..."We are all excited about this new day. Work is good.  Certainly not what we thought but it is good.  We are meeting the needs of the people and in this case, a pastor and his people.  We are blessed."
 Andrea and Cam are for sure in this pic...I believe Wayne is to the left...not sure who is covered by the tree :)
Continue to pray for these selfless preachers...for the work God still has for them to do...for their protection as they live and work in this country.
