HAITI DAY 5 – SPECIAL SATURDAY

We went back to the City Soleil Wesleyan Church and School for our final day of service. We wanted to finish putting up the last corner of the new tent. But before we could install the final 3 tent posts we had to clear more ruble from what used to be the 2nd floor church. We experienced the same slow painful work effort that hundreds of thousands went through after the quake by removing 1 broken concrete chunk at a time. The ladies swept the tent floor parking lot and all the church benches were put in place. The Church is now ready for Sunday School and Big Church tomorrow. Our team will spend the Sabbath Day worshiping with the. It will be our Creole Church service that should be interesting. The special part of the day was when we were leaving the head School master had the combined Daybreak and Wesleyan team hold hands and thanked us for 10 minutes and read 1 Corinthians 15 verse 58. This was truly a God moment sense it was the exact same verse I read to our Daybreak team yesterday morning before breakfast. Tonight after a very long ride back through the crowded streets of Port au Prince we played with the neighborhood children. We were so excited to learn the “Americans” would have time for them tonight. Tons of smiles and laughter made it a great way to end the day. Tomorrow after church we will go shopping and have dinner with Thony the WHI Director and then stay at their headquarters near the airport. We miss all of you!

    Wow, I wish I could be there with you. You guys will always be remembered by the church in Citi Soleil. Even though the message was in creole I bet you felt the Holy Spirit at work. What a mighty God we serve!

    It sounds like you accomplished a lot! Sunday will be a nice day to worship and rest. Back home in your nice comfy bed (after a shower :) ) in 2 days! The kids miss you too – I”m convinced there’s a mutiny in the works.
