They left about 7 am and were waved through a UN/police checkpoint when they entered Plaisance. At the Wesleyan school they learned that presidential candidate Michel Martelly would visit the town later in the day.
Needless to say they unloaded the plants, talked briefly about the distribution and headed back home, seeing at least 12 UN vehicles (mostly armored carriers) in town. Even with a short stop in Limbee for vegetables they returned to campus before noon.
REMINDER: Please continue to pray for the Presidential Elections on Sunday, March 20. Folks are starting to gather supplies in case things heat up politically and it becomes unsafe to travel. If Martelly doesn't win protests are likely.
Home ministries time always takes a bit of advanced planning. With only 8 Sundays on average a year in the USA and 35 supporting churches we need to work out a schedule to visit in advance so we fill up our dates.
Today we contacted a few of our churches by E-mail and already one church responded positively. Not only that they requested we come for the evening service! Yea. Not many churches continue to have Sunday night services and this will free up the morning for another supporting church. Please join us in prayer as we contact churches and work on travel plans, as we want to use our time in the USA efficiently and wisely.

Asking for safety during the political elections.
That is a "given" that I have taken for granted here in the U.S.
Haitian's are generally astonished that elections in the USA don't become violent.
