Heading Home





The local alarm, the rooster population, got our team up and out by 5am. Mike, Brenda and Jenni were gracious enough to come over and say goodbye with a prayer for safe travels. We hope to see them again one day.

We enjoyed a chilly ride under the early morning stars back to Port-au-Prince. I don't think you can ever get use to the smells here. Burning trash and plastic is not pleasant. Even in the early morning hours people are out and about. We passed large memorial services along the way as they remember the quarter of a million people that passed away a year ago today.

We arrived at the airport safely and ahead of schedule. We said goodbye to Jeanson. We will miss him dearly. We enjoyed the Reno Express coffee shop at the terminal while sitting in air conditioning. Putting on makeup this morning was a real treat!

Boarding soon for Miami. Bon Voyage Haiti...you will always be a part of our hearts. We will keep you in our prayers.

  1. Hi there, Welcome home. We really did enjoy having you, here, in Gran Gwav. You are all a blessing to this community. The school is better because of you. The community have been able to experience God's love with your interaction. We are sure you will sleep well tonight! Make sure you keep to the Haitian showers - cold water and no water while to lathe up! Please come back sometime. Mike H

  2. " Thank you Jesus for keeping our JVBC Team protected and with safe travels during their trip to & from Haiti!"
    I've already heard some of the amazing things that you all experienced on your trip and am sure there are many more! You've been changed forever! Only eternity will reveal how you (being used of G-d)have impacted those you worked along side in Haiti. Jesus bless you all.
    There's only 1 thing left to say..
    " WELCOME HOME JVBC TEAM.....WELCOME HOME!! "
