Dan is in Haiti for 2 weeks. 
He landed yesterday and is joining the Florida Bible Church as they visit their Sister Church and establish forever relationships for the first time. It should be a fun time! Can you imagine finding brothers and sisters in Haiti that you never knew you had?! What a thought!
After they leave on Friday, he will have administrative meetings with RMI missionaries, Gary and Marilyn McLaughlin and Amy Long, and the RMI Haitian staff. He'll also be meeting with all the Haitian Sister Church pastors and School Directors to share with them the recent updates in the Hope for Kidz Program.
During the last part of his visit, Rob and Becky Thompson 
will arrive and spend several days. When they move there, they will be living in the Moses' house (which had been ours before that). They will be able to see the house first hand, Becky can take measurements of the rooms and windows and they can make realistic plans on what they need to bring to set up house. They'll tour the area where they'll be living and meet some of the other missionaries on the mission center. There are several families with young children. Rob will participate in some of the meetings with Dan. He is also going to speak at the missionary prayer meeting. In other words, they are establishing some forever relationships for the first time for themselves AND their kids. What an exciting time for them! Over the years we made many forever relationships with our fellow missionaries. Some are still there and some are scattered around the world. Our kids regard the kids they grew up with as siblings, not just childhood buddies.
We are really excited about having the Thompsons on the field. Pray that God will bring in their support quickly so they can get to Haiti by their March target date.
Pray for Dan as he shares his heart and does vision casting for the future of RMI in Haiti. He has a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time and all in the hottest time of the year. Pray that God will have His Hand on all the various meetings, formal and informal. Pray for the Thompsons that they'll have a good, positive and encouraging time in Haiti.
