Once again, the entry is late. Yesterday, Sunday was a full day. It began with the 6am church service in Les Cayes. It is always such a blessing to worship with our brothers and sisters in Haiti. The joy they posess is amazing. They praise the Lord, not based on their circumstances, but based on who He is. We could learn a lot from them. I had the special proviledge to preach at the service. Hopefully the translator made some improvements!
We then went to St Louis and though the heavy rain kept most people home there, we enjoyed a sweet time of worshipthere too. The children from our orphanage sang several songs and we gave Creole Bible story books to the children and adults there. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing with our children, washing hands and feet, and giving some gifts before we left. The children were so appreciative, as was Pastor LaBastille when we gave him two solar powered audio bibles. They speak the entire bible in Creole! Janese found these and what a treasure they were. Pastor said "10,000 thank yous".
It is hard to say goodbye, but we pray the Lord will allow many more trips in the future.
I am stuck in the Miami airport so am posting, but will have both Bev and Janese post their trip reflections later this week. Thank you so much for all your prayers. There is no doubt in our minds that God is at work in Haiti.
