Arrived at Disaster Response Workshop in Cabere, Haiti

Have been here for several hours. Chuck Garriot is giving a presentation. Chuck was a pastor in Oklahoma City when the bombing took place. He currently ministers to PCA members who are in congress. Chuck traveled seperately from our group. The members from our team begin presenting after lunch. Topics include; Preparing for hurricanes, Overview of effective communication systems, setting up a warning system and evacuating, assembling after a hurricane, how God uses suffering for redemptive purposes. There are approximately 100 pastors and deacons present. They are very gracious, grateful for our coming to help them. Language barrier with most. Some speak English. Dony St. Germaine of El Shaddai Ministry (our partner) is the organizer and translator for the event. Tomorrow afternoon we will tour Haiti visiting our volunteer relief camps in Carrefour and Mirebalais.
