Mo Omli sends this report after speaking with husband Steve.........The team is doing well and accomplishing a lot.
They are based in Messailler (of course) but spent the today in nearby town called Fouvou where Pastor Charles also has a church. For the next two days they will travel about 1.5 hours away (each direction) to St. Marc where Charles also has a church.
The team “dorms” are very crowded with all of the NC/FL folks plus a Canadian team that arrived this weekend. Everyone is getting along well and finding their niche among the many tasks and ways to serve.
Specific prayer requests are (1) for Lia, one of the pediatricians, who became ill with a stomach virus last night. By mid day Wednesday, she was able to begin seeing patients again. Pray for the health of the team!!! (2) Also pray for safety on the roads traveling town-to-town. There are no “traffic laws” to speak of and roads are full of pot-holes, so safety is very important. (3) Pray for continued unity and cooperation among all team members serving this week. (4) The local Haitians lack rain and the town water is low (not an issue for the team)…so on the one hand there is a need for rain, but the lack of humidity is helping control the mosquitoes. It’s odd because there are often flooding issues in
Pastor Charles is specifically thrilled that the school children sponsorship project is being addressed. He almost can’t believe this answer to prayer. Apparently, he is 4 months behind in paying teachers due to the lack of money coming in from child sponsorship. Hopefully the work being done this week to organize and update that program will go a long way to remedy the inconsistencies and lack of information in this area.
