Thank You

Thank you to everyone that supported this team both with financial gifts and prayer.  It was a very difficult week in many ways.  Most things are hard in Haiti.  It is a constant, uphill climb.  You are often able to physically feel the spiritual oppression that surrounds you there.  Particularly in different parts of the villages.   But God gave each of us moments of beholding Him and moments of refreshment.  There are those in Haiti that do not like Blancs (white people).  We often see this among the young adult men.  But more frequently, the people are warm, affectionate, lovely, generous with what little they have, and very very thankful for anyone's help to encourage them and help them better their lives. This is what we normally experience when there.  In such a short amount of time of Cornerstone's involvement, we see God bringing forth much fruit both at Centre Loving Hands Orphanage and Children's Lifeline.  Many Haitians we revisit are beginning to lower their walls and discipleship is beginning to take place.  There were many one-on-one divine appointments that God provided this trip.  We are so thankful for that. 

We apologize that there are not more pictures to share of the guys at work.  With Chris on crutches and not being able to make it around to most of the work sites, and the English classes happening each afternoon, picture takers were not available.  The guys worked very, very hard though and accomplished much.  God's timing is always perfect even if we don't always see that.  We were reminded of that this trip.

We praise Him for His goodness to each of the team members and those in Haiti we worked alongside. We are thankful for each of you and for your continued support and interest in the work God is doing in Haiti.  Thank you for joining in His work there.

Blessings to each of you,
Rob and Chris Russell
