During our YMATH trip to Haiti last week with a team of bloggers and storytellers, our videographer Ian accidentally fell into a hole. (For more on this, read Ian's blog he posted today: What Not to Do in Haiti: Fall in a Hole).
We were fortunate enough to have several skilled people on the trip who were experts at applying hand sanitizer to gaping wounds.
Here's Ian telling more about his battle with the hole:

I just returned from Haiti a day ago. And hopefully, if you've followed my blogs, you've been able to see some of the hope that has arisen in the most impoverished country in the western hemisphere (before the earthquake). What was supposed to be a week dedicated to revelry with the enemy transposed into a week of dancing for Jesus as the country fasted and prayed for Haiti's re-birth.
The process of re-building Haiti will be long and tedious and it will go beyond meeting just people's physical needs. Spiritually the Bride of Christ, in Haiti is hungry for more of him and you are the vessel he wants to use. We put together a video of some of the footage from the latest trip about what it will look like for you to go.
If you've read our Haiti blog; you've heard about the hope running rampant in the streets of Haiti. Here is another couple of videos of a parade of people dancing and praising Jesus as well as an interview with a local about the festivities.

the orange in the video with Marco & Adam is Pastor Laine

The first video is an interview with Clint Bokelman in Haiti about how the Lord is moving in Haiti as the nation of Haiti bands together in prayer and fasting.
The second video surveys the a crowd gathering to worship, pray and beseech the Lord to move in Haiti.
Yesterday was an amazing day in Haiti where we witnessed first-hand how God is moving through the Haitian church, calling his people to pray on behalf of the nation.
Rhett Smith, one of the members of our team, shares what he's seen so far during this Haiti trip.
Seth Barnes shares his initial reactions to what the outpouring of the Spirit we're seeing upon Haiti and how the Haitian church is responding in prayer:
