This is Kim. Today we woke at 5am and hiked Mattheux Mountain to the small village of Petit Bois. It was a difficult hike for many but the views from the top were so worth it! We gathered at the top under a bread fruit tree for devotions and thought of the many life applications we've experienced this week that we could apply spiritual. Ryan spoke about spiritual gifts and just couldn't help but apply our various painting skills as examples, LOL. The true blessings of the day came through prayers for various sick ones in the village. Casey Davis had previously asked our church family to anoint and pray over handkerchiefs to pass out to the sickest that we came in contact with. It was good to be reminded that these people were our brothers and sisters in Christ; that when they hurt, we hurt; that when they experience joy, we experience joy; and the same in sorrow. It does not matter where travel, the family of God is universal. Thanks to all who have prayed for us on this trip. Continue to pray for the people of Haiti; the blood of Jesus Christ makes us one with them. They are our family.
I enjoyed reading this and seeing Bro Nathan. He looks like he's doing okay over there. Miss you all and be safe coming home. God bless you as you work for him and his children.
