Welcome to Jordan

Jordan and Lex in the eaves at the missionary compound

We’re excited to have Jordan Alexander join us for three months at MOHI in Grand-Goâve, Haïti. Although it’s Jordan’s first time in the country, hundreds of women are in love with him. Why? Jordan’s dad, Shawn, ran a micro-finance program for women at MOHI. It touched the lives of 500 women. To this day, these women are praying for Shawn. Whenever one of these women is introduced to Jordan, they do a double take and a big smile forms on their lips.

Jordan is here to serve. He came with no expectation to make a specific impact. As such, he is ready to jump in and help at every moment. This, of course, is a God send for Lex and I!!! Jordan has already been a great help with photography, computer skills and general labor. Like his father, Jordan immediately fell in love with St. Etienne. He will be assisting a medical team there tomorrow and Tuesday.

Please remember Jordan when you pray for MOHI and all the people involved in the work here. Change is not usually easy, but very often it causes amazing life to spring forth. We are trusting that the Lord has great things in store for all of us here, and that Jordan’s presence plays a role in those blessings.

Gama translating for Pastor Kevin

Our friend Pastor Kevin Groder arrived yesterday.  He will be hosting two back to back teams for us.  The church in Thozin was blessed to hear from him in both the morning and evening services today.  I love the practical words that he shares that can be applied to our lives right away.

Mission USA

Mission USA, an outreach of The Chapel (Akron, OH) arrived today with a team of 27.  They were scheduled to be here yesterday, but Nemo had other plans.  Four more people will arrive tomorrow to complete the team.  It was really cool to be able to pick them up at the airport in the bus they sent to us.  It was a smooth trip and we enjoyed several hours this evening unpacking and preparing for tomorrows tasks.  They have a big day ahead of them with medical clinic in St. Etienne, giving out wheelchairs, walkers and crutches to people suffering with handicaps, painting, pouring concrete, building shelves and mechanical work on some of our vehicles.  Here are some pictures from their arrival today:
