Teacher Team/Haitian School Board in the DR

Everyone arrived last night - American Teachers and Haitian School Board.  We had a wonderful meal prepared by people from Ebenezer Church and we are currently in our first meetings of the trip.  (See photos below).  We started the morning off with a tour of the school and we are now meeting with school administrators so that our Haitian leaders can learn from them and the excellent structure of our school here in Barahona. 

God is in control of this trip and we have already had to adjust our plan and be open to his.  As we traveled on the bus from the capitol to Barahona, we learned that school was cancelled for today and tomorrow.  Our plan had been to observe the school here today and visit other area schools tomorrow.  Immediately we discovered that our plans would need adjusted.  Earlier in our travels as we circled the Miami airport waiting for the ok to land, I had prayed "God please let us land here.  It would be so much easier"  He answered that prayer and then I wrote the following in my journal.  "God I give you this trip.  You are in control.  The details are yours - detour or no detour, You lead the way."  He is definitely leading the way and we have adjusted our schedule and continue on.  We are in meetings this morning, will have time to spend with children this afternoon, visiting other schools outside the area tomorrow and maybe take school pictures on Monday.  But even with this adjustment God is in control and he may have something different than plan B ahead.  We yield to him and hold on to the fact that He is the great I AM.

Pray for all that he has prepared for us to learn.  Our God is God yesterday, today and forever.
