Today was our last day in Haiti. Just the thought of having to leave tomorrow made us realize how much we have fallen in love with this place and the people here. We knew that the beach was going to be a blast but before we headed out we had to make one quick stop to Barbancourt to see the facilities.

However, God had a little more in store for us. As we walked through Barbancourt we began hearing music in the distance which turned out to be a worship service. None of us expected this surprised gathering but when we encountered it, we knew that it was something extraordinary. Everyone, Haitian and American joined together to sing and pray to our Lord Jesus Christ. This moment was such a blessing that only God knew was going to happen.

The original plan was to visit Barbancourt on Monday, but right before leaving Donald made the decision to do it before heading to the beach. I truly believe God meant for us to make this trip today because he knew what was going to happen today. We were so blessed to witness a Haitian revival where many were led to Christ, and where many prayers were lifted up in faith that God will provide for his people.

This past week has been a blessing to the local Haitians with our presence. However, looking back on this we feel that as a group we’ve been blessed even more by there willingness to make the best of all situations. Whether it’s hiking up a mountain that could range from one hour to two, or possibly receiving a single meal for the day, or even just being able to socialize with our team, in the end, we know that we are still brothers in Christ together.

  1. It was amazing to see the Haitian people fasting and praying for their country. I wonder what would happen in America if we did the same?
