"Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch." Luke 5:4
The amount of devistation and loss of life resulting from the earthquake in Haiti this past January has moved Kentucky Baptists to give in many ways. One of those ways has been short-term volunteer teams. Initially, only medical and early response disaster relief teams were allowed to enter the tiny island country. In recent weeks, however, opportunities for construction and even some evangelisitc teams have opened up.
Earlier this month, a volunteer team led by KBC‘s Missions Growth Team Leader, Larry Baker, spent a week in Haiti constructing small homes for local residents. In this episode, of DeepWater, Larry shares some of his experiences from the trip and about the challenges that remain for the people of Haiti.

my husband and I work with the Ky. Disaster Relief and the kitchens. Tell me why people helping have not been able to use some of the money that was raised and is being raised now all over the United States. All of Hollywood were having events to help these people. Is the government holding on to the money. My heart breaks for these people, they had so little before, now they have nothing. Bless the team and God’s work being done.
