A Wonderful Reminder...

As we had shared with many before coming to Haiti, our Prayer Quilt has been a wonderful and beautiful reminder of all who are part of our team and, most importantly, who are praying for us. Everyone who has walked into our house in Haiti (and I mean everyone!) has mentioned the beautiful quilt and we are quick to point out that it is filled with the names of those who are part of our Haiti team AND who are praying for us.

And, we are SO thankful and dependent on that prayer...

On Monday, Bud had an incident which confirmed for us again the importance of prayer. He had gone with a pastor from a downtown area church to deliver some school benches. They arrived and made the delivery, but the school was in an unfamiliar area to Bud so the pastor offered to ride back to the main road with him. When they arrived, the pastor asked Bud to pray with him before he left. Bud pulled the truck over along the sidewalk, prayed, and when the pastor opened the door to get out he hit two men on a motorcycle sending them into a deep ravine along the roadway.

Immediately a crowd formed and helped the men out of the ravine, placed them in the back of the truck and the pastor, quite upset, asked Bud if he would drive them to the hospital. Of course he did - his first visit to the downtown Cap Haitien hospital. While they were waiting, Bud and the pastor prayed together and began singing, "Amazing Grace," to calm their nerves. The doctor checked the men out, took an x-ray of one of the men's legs and diagnosed that he was "fine" and sent them on their way with a prescription of Tylenol. Bud and the pastor put them in a taxi and praised God that it wasn't any more serious. The pastor thanked Bud over and over telling him that he had, "Saved his life."

Praise God for His faithfulness!

We love & miss you all,

Bud & Cindy
