God works through us--Ray Pratt

We landed safely at DTW at 10:50 Monday night. Thank you for your prayers!

I think this trip put me back in touch with a passion that I had lost. I've seen the poverty of other nations as a soldier. I've been on various aide projects.  But somewhere along the way, I just started going though the motions and soon felt helpless to make a difference.

The trip to Haiti has shown me that it's not about what I can do but what God can do through me.  I had to pray constantly in Haiti for strength and wisdom to face those children and adults with a positive and accepting attitude. And God provided. There were may times that I asked myself what was I doing there? How could I help? And honestly I didn't know the answer. I would pray and before I knew it there would be an angel at my side smiling and giving me the answer.

So what did the trip mean to me? I think in many ways it meant a return to what God intended me to be.   X-Ray

Ray Pratt, commonly known as X-Ray on this trip, is checking out the staging area for the orphans on the roof top where we arrange all the activities for the day.  He makes sure we have help to carry up our 50 pound arts and crafts bag! There's a huge mango tree behind him that extends way past this two story building.
