Healing Haiti Elder Care: Day Two

Day Two

It was the end of day two but too exhausted to blog so I am cheating and blogging the morning of day 3

Day 2 was typical organized chaos in Haiti.
God's light was revealed and shined bright. He is ever faithful!!!

The main mission today was to get medical help for two elderly. With God's grace, we were able to get help for one.

We had an elder woman who is immobile and had maggots in her bed sore along with fleas and ants. Thankfully we were able to partner with Global Outreach, another mission organization and provide medical help for the wound. Give spiritual help to the soul and lots of love to the woman, Antonia.

It really is all about sharing God's love and caring for these elderly. Medical help is necessary, but spiritual impact is really the ever lasting focus.

God's light shined bright because today in only ways God can orchestrate, we were able to connect with Global Outreach and another mission group, New Life Children's Home. All work with elderly in some form or fashion in the village of Titanyen. I forsee God working in amazing ways to coordinate all three of us to make an even greater impact with the elderly. All in God's glory and timing!

It's a new day dawning - God is faithful - do we really need more than that?

I'm so relieved that you found help for Antonia via Global Outreach. I've been praying for Antonia after seeing her last week. And I'm crying in gratitude now that she is receiving care.
God Bless you,

Meet The Team

Carrolle Dieulanick, Haitian Employee

Carolle is our Haitian employee who has an amazing heart for the elderly. With some medical training, she makes sure that each of our elders has their medicine, takes blood pressures and more. She visits each elder at least once a week, talking, singing and praying with them. She has also been teaching them bible verses and makes sure they feel loved and cared for. She also makes sure that elders on our meals program receive a meal daily and that all of our elders receive a monthly supply of food staples.

Cheryl Michel, Sponsorship Advocate

Cheryl joined the sponsorship team just after she and her husband Steve, and two of their daughters, Heidi and Kalie, returned from a Calvary Healing Haiti mission trip in July 2013. Cheryl has strong administrative skills and has already made valuable contributions to the sponsorship program.

Vania Pierre, Artisian Program Coordinator

Vania and her husband Emmanuel have been regular volunteers at Grace Church. She also volunteered to help with the bread ovens and after seeing her intricately braided bread.....we knew she would be perfect for teaching the elderly the details of making artisian items as a way to make a living. She started on November 11, 2013 spending 4 hours each day working with the elderly. We are so happy that she is on our team!!!
