SABC Haiti Mission Trip: A Difficult Departure

Thank you for your prayers for our recent trip to Port au Prince, Haiti. God certainly blessed this joint effort between Piney Grove Baptist Church in Samson, Alabama, and St. Andrew Baptist Church in Panama City, Florida. Our team worked alongside of SCORE International Missions, a worldwide mission organization with a presence in Haiti.

I want to encourage you to read the team member testimonies that will be posted to the blog over the coming days, and you can still access our field updates from the "Blog Archive" link on the right hand side of the page. Thank you again for your prayers!

A Difficult Departure

One of our team members, Mr. Floyd Skinner, will be traveling back home today. Yesterday Floyd began to develop pain in his hip and back, and even though he was able to visit an American run medical clinic yesterday afternoon and receive some medication, that pain has continued to be unrelenting. Floyd will fly out today just after noon, so please pray for his safe travel and speedy recovery. It is obvious that he does not wish to leave the team, and his departure is sad but probably best for Floyd. We know that he will continue to be a part of this team through his fervent prayers.
