Today we had the opportunity to spend some significant time
at Grace Village with the children that live there full time. We were able to listen in as the faith minister
taught the children and even though he was preaching in their native tongue, it
was like I could totally understand what he was saying and where he was in his
story. We sang some worship songs with
the children and made some artwork. Then
they got to play, doing any of these 3 activities: making beaded bracelets,
playing on the playground or futbol (soccer to us Americans). We played, laughed, ran around, hollered,
screamed, sweated…….. Just had a great time.
It’s amazing to see how a vision, that 2 people had 6 years ago, has
turned out. Thank you Jeff and Alyn for
taking that leap of faith.
After that we stopped by Gertrude’s again and spent an hour
or so loving the children at her orphanage.
Again, it’s amazing to see what 1 woman, who dedicated her life to the
Lord 20 years ago to do his work, how it’s turned out.
As I write this our work here is over as tomorrow is a free
day for us and Monday we come home. The
last 6 days have flown by! It truly has
been a privilege to come down here to serve and I want to thank everyone who
helped make this possible!

to change Haiti. Little did I know Haiti
would change me in unimaginable ways.”
