Haiti - Day 8

Today we went into Port au Prince to Quisqueya Chapel.  This church is truly a place of refuge in the midst of chaos.  Since day trhee after the earthquake, they have been distributing Convoy of Hope provided food.  Within a weeks time, they distributed over 9000 meals to individual families that come to the compound.  They also distribute food to nine different missionaries, pastors or other christian leaders who in turn distribute food to make shift tent communities all over Port au Prince.  In addition, they also provide food to five different orphanages.  On top of all this, they offer prayer and a Book of Hope to everyone who will receive it.  All this compassion filled, organized ministry is done in Jesus name.  And this is just one distrubtion point of many that Convoy of Hope provides aid -- way, way, way cool.

Our purpose for going to Quisqueya Chapel is to install a Culligan Water Filtration System on the compound.  This system will provide clean drinking water at a rate of 14,0000 gallons in a 24 hour period.  Quisqueya Chapel will now be able to add clean water distribution as part of their ministry.  It will help with reduction of diease in the area and give the church another opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ.  This is the 2nd water filtration system we installed this week, with another coming soon. 

Again, thank you Jesus for another great day of ministry.  I have had the opportunity to be anointed of God and see awesome results.  Please keep praying for the need is great -- but our God is bigger.
