The second team from Iowa City for the year arrived this afternoon shortly after 3. Here they are after dinner and hearing the story of HAFF. Left to right: Amy, Tonya, Mark, Jonathan, Sam, Randy, Bethany, Amanda, Greg, Travis and Paul. Pray for them tomorrow as they go to minister in 2 area churches -- Randy and Greg will be preaching. And then pray for a good week as they minister in the school and the community. Pray that the Lord would keep them safe and help them to be a light. 
Thank you all who prayed for Adou through his fight with cancer. His battle is over. His race is run. He went home to be with his Saviour this afternoon. Please pray for his family, the church and his community. There will be great grief in Bohoc and LaJeune this evening. Since he just died not long ago, I don't know yet when the funeral will be.
Pray for his family. There are a couple of his brothers who have been blaming my cook (Adou's Aunt) for his illness. These same brothers also prevented the rest of the family getting paliative medical treatment for him and tried to give him other remedies that he was constantly having to refuse. Please pray that their grief will not spill over into revenge for their misguided beliefs and that the rift in the family can be healed to the glory of God. Please pray that even in death, the life of Adou St Amour will glorify the name of Christ.

Today was Sunday. The team broke up into 2 parts to go to church. One group went to Glace Bourik (that means Frozen Donkey!) -- about a 45 minute drive north and west of HAFF.
They enjoyed the singing and warmth of the service there.
Dr Greg (blue shirt) preached and Dr Jerry (blue tie) interpreted for him.
Then the team was welcomed to a church member's home for coke and crackers!

Saturday 3 March, 2007, the BTI Rheto class (the 12th grade -- second to the last year of high school) went to the beach at Labadi. The Philo class (13th grade) went the previous Saturday. The students rode the more than 40 miles in the back of HAFF's military transport truck (the deuce and a half) and in the Mitsibishi Canter.
Labadi is the resort on the North Coast of Haiti near Cap Haitien owned by Royal Carribean Cruise Lines.
The students also had the opportunity to ride a water taxi to the nearby village of Labadi. The only way to get to Labadi village is by foot or water!
The students had a good trip -- the only problem all day was 2 flat tires on the deuce which they had repaired in St Raphael on the way to the beach.
