We leave soon. Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) owns all media rights and I'll need to stop blogging and sending photos as soon as I sign the contract to sail (in the morning). So, that signed piece of paper awaits my last entry. Film photography is allowed and I'll be able to send letters now and then - just like the good old days! So, this will be very similar to a senior photography project. I'll journal my thoughts daily (on paper) and will photograph the old fashioned way. I prefer dots to pixels anyway! Sorry to those of you who wanted to keep in touch this way to see what's happening. A film crew will join us to keep everyone updated on TBN.
We're all ready to go. A friend gave me a pertinent book before I left Montana. It's called "Love has a Face" by Michele Perry. Michele was born without a leg and serves in dire conditions in Sudan to help orphans. My new Canadian friend (the nurse) is also reading the same book. Michele (the author) wanted to help in India where she saw young children whose eyes were gouged out just to become legitimate beggars. She's now in Sudan where war has left physical and mental scars that only Jesus can heal. I have no concept of how the rest of the world lives because I've lived a sheltered life in the United States.
Haiti - one of the poorest countries on the planet is rife with kidnapping, murder, prostitution, drug smuggling and thievery. Voodoo - the main religion, is much more complicated than most people understand. A radio friend who's a fabulous researcher looked into the roots of Voodoo and Haiti when she learned I was heading there. If you're interested in learning more about her research on Voodoo, visit: www.katherinealbrecht.com and go to Archives.
