This blog is going to be short and sweet. The team is currently gathered for another delicious breakfast before we head out for an hour tap tap ride to the Baptist Mission. We are going to view another scene just outside PAP.
The last two days have been a whirlwind. On Thursday, we stayed at the orphanage the entire day. I however, was very sick in the office. The guys were building tables, chairs, and working on a tent so the children could have an additional classroom space outside.
Yesterday, we traveled about an hour outside the city to visit the new land. The director of the orphanage, Pierre, shared his vision for the future. The vision filled my heart with hope and joy for the next generation in Haiti. His vision is Kingdom! The song Your the God of the City, came to mind immediately. After he shared his vision, the group spread out across the land and prayed. We picked up dirt in our hand and as the dirt left our fingers, we prayed that God would bless this land for His kingdom. There are some Voodoo priests in the area, so I felt led by the Lord to walk the land and shout the "The blood of Jesus." Mary Clair and Brian led the team in worship as we were walking. The song, Savior, He can move the mountains, was played as we were looking at the beautiful mountains surrounding the property. He is mighty to save these children, and the people of Haiti.
The remainder of the afternoon was spent at the orphanage. The guys were able to build shelves and cabinets for the ladies in the kitchen. We passed out toothpaste, soap and shampoo to the nighttime nannies, and you would have thought it was Christmas. They were very grateful for the supplies. We also met Madam Gaston, who is the lady we brought the knee brace for, she was dancing with joy for the new brace.
Please continue to pray for our team.
