Chris' Blog



We started our day once again honoring our Lord at the prayer rock. Tim shared some moving stories of how he has heard from God in his life.  We then proceeded to clean out and organize the food warehouse. Amazing how much food is in there but how fast they will go through it. More is always needed.  We gave the ladies in the sewing room some fabric and also handed out some shoes to them.  After lunch the men poured concrete in the block room and supervised the man running the backhoe. 
The backhoe is moving dirt in order to make a nice soccer field for the kids.  The women had a little down time and fellowship.  In the afternoon the team went to Barbancourt to observe the tent cities where people have been displaced from Port Au Prince after the earthquake.  We met an amazing lady named "Ruth". Her faith and spirit gave us all much inspiration and she touched all of our hearts.  She said the Americans bring encouragement to the Haitian people but she was the one truly encouraging and inspiring us today.  We spent quit a bit of time there just talking to the people and playing with the kids.  It was a blessing.
