Our Mission Team in Haiti in 2019

A mission team from my church here in Florida went to Haiti very recently.

We've been working with a sister church there for some years. 

They discovered that there are protests going on because of the rising costs of fuel and corruption in the country.   Rocks were thrown at their shuttle bus, which sounded like gunshots. There were some injuries to people on their team.
The next morning their bus was accompanied by police in front of and behind them.  They managed to make it to the airport where a plane had come for them. They were really shaken up but were sad they didn't get to see "their kids" again.

The man who reported to our congregation said he was reading it because he was too emotional to just tell it.    However, they do plan to go back when things settle down.  

"Thousands of Haitians took to the streets of Port-au-Prince on Friday in the latest display of public fury at the government over rampant corruption, economic malaise and other grievances." Danger in Haiti

Please, let us pray for the poor people of Haiti - that things will settle down soon and our mission team will be able to return in peace.
