Pulling Heaven Down in Haiti

Hi there, this is Jodi.  Mike is in Haiti, so I wanted to do a quick update and ask for your prayers.  If you remember back when we first got to the DR a man contacted Mike named Eliezer Lembert Caraballo and they became fast friends.  The story is back in July titled "It’s Clear Now Why We Are Here" if you didn't get to read it.  Saturday night Mike and I took the kids, along with our fellow missionary friends Craig & Joanna, to a Dominican Winter League baseball game in the Santo Domingo.  It was quite the experience!  There are 6 teams in the winter league and Mike has 2 ballparks crossed off the list!  We had a great time.  Eliezer met us there and spent the night and they drove back to Pedernales together the next day.  Craig McClure a SCORE Missionary went as well, along with Rawlings Foundation Missionary Eddy Jesus Gil and Intern with the Rawlings Foundation Will Thompson.  They suited up a baseball team with new uniforms, played soccer and American football with the kids.  Shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ using The Gloves for God baseball glove, and I am sure many more things I didn't get updated on from each of their facebook pages.  


Here is a map and a video of some of the pictures they posted to give you a little idea of what they are doing.  Pray for safety and their drive back to Boca Chica (about 5 hours I believe) and for there to be many seeds planted as it is God's will.  Thank you!!  More to come when Mike returns on Wednesday evening!  I am sure he will have many stories!!
