Arriving Safely

08/18/2007
After a long, grueling two days of travel we are thankful to have safely arrived at Mountain Top Ministries. With three flights plus long layovers we were definitely glad when we touched down in Port-Au-Prince. Our host Willem greeted us with two flat deck trucks; one to hold our luggage and a few guys and the other to hold the rest of us who stood crammed together, holding on to the railing. For the next two hours we wove through the busy streets of many sights and sounds up the mountain to MTM. Beth greeted us with great hospitality including a light lunch which we all thoroughly enjoyed after our long journey.
We are now fully settled in, enjoying the free time before our busy week begins. Some of us went for a hike down the hill while others took to their beds to enjoy a nap.
Keep praying for us; for our safety and health, that our ministry will be effective, and that our relationships will grow with each other, the Haitians and God.
