Greetings from our far away land in Haiti,
Hope this day finds everyone well. Its been a week since I last updated so here it goes. Well a week ago Monday and yesterday (Monday) I opened the clinic for the first time by myself. Let me say a very scary task and not easy but I am always up for a challenge. Praise the Lord for the 5 people who showed up and then the 30 who came this Monday passed. Before we see them we hold church. Jonathan or maybe a visiting Preacher will preach. We tell them you came today for medicine for the body because you are sick, Let me tell you about the Great Physician The Lord Jesus that. Some come and just listen because they just want the medicines that they think will help and or cure them. But Praise the Lord there is always that one that is really listening and gets saved. Folks that's why we are here to give the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ to Our people. The door is open and we have many ears that are listening. Please keep the clinic and our patients in Prayer. We have a low supply of medicines and without medicines its hard to treat patients. Some ask how they can help there is a company called Map Travel which supplies medicines to missionaries in Foreign Countries. The cost you may ask is $500.00 plus $100.00 shipping and then freight of $1.60 a pound and then customs?????????????. Can I ask you to Pray with us about this need. If you would like to help please email myself or Jonathan at jwcwinhaiti@yahoo.com
Last Tuesday Jonathan and I had the opportunity to go on our first adventure to Cap Haitian, Haiti. This is the second largest city in Haiti. For the most part the ride was very bumpy and maybe a mile or two that was so smooth. Jonathan and I had the opportunity to fellowship with Missionaries in St Raphael Bro. Harry Peart. He rode with us and showed us where the Grocery store's are and where the Home Depot like store is. Got to see the Ocean and where Jonathan grew up as a kid with his parents who have been in Haiti for 35 years and still here. We also saw a view of the beautiful areas. It was a great knowledgeable adventure.
Also for some reason the picture can not be uploaded here If you happened to have a facebook (Christina marie Mitchell wall) page I have uploaded them there.
Thank you for taking a moment to read and I pray this will be a blessing to you.

Here's how we go to church
Greeting's from Haiti,
Today is the Lord's day and what do we do we go to church. For most of you will wake up, eat breakfast , get dressed and hop in the car and drive on into Church. For most Haitian's it not like that at all. They wake up and for most they will not eat breakfast but will get dressed and go to church. For most they travel by foot and sometimes travel hour's just to come to church. They walk through dirt road's, racket path's, through the river's and muddy stream's. Let me say this DOES NOT stop them. The father's will make sure there child and wife get across dry. Putting there babies on there heads, just so they can come to church. Life here is so very simple. Unlike our people we were able to have a hot breakfast. Unlike our people we were able to hop in the truck and drive the 8 miles. Praise the Lord for safety as we went off roading several times, went mudding too.
You may think 8 miles are nothing but with our road's here it really takes an 1hour and a half. We arrived at Las Ma Moon to be greeted with smiles and hug's. After we arrive we sing a few song's. Now Sunday school has begun and more people have arrived. See Haiti has no concept of time. So when the music begins our people know it's time to come to church. By the time Sunday school finishes the church is near full. Morning worship hour has began. Today my father in law preached on modesty. We Praise the Lord for a new day and being able to be in church and for safety. Below is picture's of our morning drive. Picture's will not do it justice. If you have any question's please ask. Thank you for taking a moment to read. I pray this will be a blessing to you.
