Marcel and a team from EMEVI Churches took a trip to the northwest of St Marc from August 20 thru the 24th, or at least that was the plan. Jean Rabel is not all that far away, only 7 hours on some terribly rough dirt roads. This mission trip included 61 adults and 8 children. More details will follow in the days ahead but for the moment a brief update. Plans were to head home Monday on a rented bus. Marcel was notified Sunday night that the bus had some mechanical problems and would be going nowhere. Parts are not available in this area of the country so arrangements were being made to have another bus drive from Port-au-Prince which is 9 hours away. Lets see, that would have put them home late Monday or very early Tuesday. By Tuesday morning other arrangements had been made and the journey back begins via a large truck carrying everyone and their meager travel bags. Ok, 7 hours of travel back to St Marc, in the back of a truck, standing up, dirt roads ---- you get the picture. As of now we have not heard if they are back yet?! Now imagine the Lord opening the door during this "extra" day and night at Jean Rabel for Marcel to preach one more time. A crowd of around 500 came to hear the "Good News" and we wonder was this an inconvience or divine appointment? No doubt in this mind. Many came to the Lord during this mission trip, but we will save the rest of the story for another post.
