A traveling team of 10 people will set out for Haiti in the wee hours of the morning, November 5. The team members are: Jeff Smith, Deanne Lentz, John Lentz, Steve Sedam, Barbara Cloud, Mark and Carol Wedell, Dean and Judy Sieck, and me, Kermit Lind. Our guide is Dale Snyder, Executive Director of Haiti Outreach. Amanda Ottman, a Haiti Outreach staff member will be with us too.
We are scheduled to arrive in Port-au-Prince November on the 5th (that's tomorrow!) at about 3:00, the time when national election results are to be announced. That could be interesting timing.
We stay overnight in the capitol city, then fly in small planes to the little city of Pignon (see map at this link) in the Central Plateau, a 30 minute flight . We will stay in the Guest House at Haiti Outreach headquarters (picture at this link) the next seven nights until we start our return early on the morning of November 13.
If you want to know more about Haiti Outreach and our engagement with their mission, this blog has earlier postings. Forest Hill Church is a sponsor of the community-managed well in Gabo, a tiny, remote village. We hope to visit the community.
You will be able to get reports on us at this blog site over the next week -- that is, if my technology and capabilities are up to the task. So stay tuned.
