The Haiti team left Rock Hill on Friday night, June 24. After dealing with a bus breakdown, they finally arrived at their hotel in Atlanta early Saturday morning. Their 8:30 flight from Atlanta to Miami was delayed for almost 2 hours. But they arrived in Miami with plenty of time to spare for the flight to Port au Prince, Haiti. They arrived in Haiti about 4:30 Rock Hill time.

The team leader, Jim Clark, sent me the following email detailing Day 1:

End of day one. We have made it to the compound and have been blessed. We stopped on our way out at a mass grave site where 250K unclaimed were buried after the earthquake. It brought home how fragile life is and we must work every moment on doing as God directs us. We have started coming together as a large team. Continue to pray for us and let the prayer be that God will show us how to love these Hatians we have come to help. Let us not focus on getting task done but to be open to the direction from God. Take care

Please continue to pray for the team – Rebekah Blackburn, Scott Blackburn, Vickie Blackburn, Amanda Cavin, Jim Clark, Charlotte Elliott, Billy Finch, Hadden Finch, Doug Hurst, Jessica Shaver, David Sloan, Emily Walker, Duane Ward, Doug Westmoreland.

Grace and Peace
Jamie
