A day in Haiti


  Greetings from Haiti Sunday evening!  Today was a day of rest. This morning we had the privilege of worshiping the Lord with our Haitian brothers and sisters in the church at Lifeline Mission.  The Haitians really do know how to praise the Lord!  Brother Allen from our team delivered a powerful word and several people accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Sweet!   Everyone was very friendly and made us feel right at home. 
  We then took a stroll through the village outside Lifeline's compound to see the dam; many children accompanied us, holding our hands and asking what our names were, laughing and simply enjoying our companionship.  A 4 year-old boy came out and prayed for each team member individually - what a great experience!  The sun was hot and when we reached the canal/dam, many children jumped into the canal and enjoyed the cool water as though it were their swimming pool!  It was fun to watch them having fun. 
  Next we took a ride to Wahoo Bay, where we enjoyed resting on the beach and bargaining with the local vendors for their wares.  A relaxing dinner followed, and we saw yet another aspect of Haiti with its beautiful shoreline and sunset.  Today was a day of refreshing ourselves for the coming week.  Tomorrow we will work with the Haitian doctor at the clinic here at Mission Lifeline.  We thank God for His faithfulness to us and look forward to seeing what He will do through us tomorrow.
