Pictures from Friday afternoon...


Hello from Haiti!

We had a full afternoon of ministry and learning here at HAFF in Haiti. We started with a time to share our favorite promises from the Bible with some of the students from the secondary school.  They then joined us at a soccer field down the road where we met our match! The afternoon ended with a time at the gazebo to hear from the community leaders who serve on the HAFF Executive Committee about their work overseeing the mission.

After dinner we watched a wonderful Hallmark movie on the dorm porch about a Georgia teacher with tourettes syndrom called "Front of the Class." (If you have never seen it - I highly recommend it, even the teenagers were impressed...and don't tell anyone, but a few of them even cried!)  What a great way to end a great day.
We played with mixed teams, bringing brand new soccer balls
 from the states.


Mark is showing his athletic skills, but the Haitians
are pretty fast!
I don't think Nathan ever played soccer with a woman doing
laundry on the side-lines, hanging her clothes to dry on a cactus fence!


Soccer is a cross-cultural language! 

Arielle and Abbie in the back of our truck - feeling like trapped animals?

Meeting with the Executive Team of HAFF - made up of eight Haitians
and two Americans.  We ended our visit with a time of prayer for them,
that the Lord would give them strength and wisdom in their work.

The boys on our team thought this kid
had a lot of "swag"!

Tomorrow I'll be leading a Bible conference for church pastors and leaders.  The youth will come and share some of their testimonies with the men, sing with them and for them, and then they will be painting two of the school rooms at the HAFF school. Thank you for your prayers for us!

Eric Hausler, Pastor
