Ken made his first driving trip to PAP to take the first dental team back to the airport.  That is quite an accomplishment with the horrendous traffic in Port.  We are thankful for God's protection over them.  He only lost sight of Edgard once when trucks got between them on a round-a-bout.  This has been a particularly challenging week.  Many people come to Haiti to help the people here.  Almost all come with good intentions.  It is a difficult place to serve.  I'm sure that there are times that you second guess yourself, wonder if you're making any difference, wonder if God has really called you here.  Satan looks for those chinks in our armor.  For some he twists the reason for being here into a self-serving mission.  For others he brings fear, discouragement and disappointment.  Romans 8:37-39 gives us this reassurance.  In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  For I am convinced that neither angels or demons...nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  For our new friends, thank you for all you taught us.  May God bring you to the place he wants you to be.  Don't be discouraged, God is not surprised by these circumstances and He is in control.  Our prayers go up for you and others in foreign missions and in the US.  Remember how God first brought you to the place of humbly serving him, and hold fast to the promise that through Him we are more than conquerors.
