Sorry for the delay - we had some computer problems last night. Only posting a few pictures so we can at least get and update to you. Hopefully more tonight.
Well we made it. We can’t thank you all enough for praying
for our travels. We all agreed in our
devotions last night, how amazing it was to see how God orchestrated our
travels. All of our luggage arrived, and
every connection was made. After an amazing
breakfast this morning (Mangos are much different in Haiti then back home), we
hopped in our trusty cattle truck and headed out to our first Vacation Bible
School. The truck however only took us
part of the way. The rest we had to
walk. With supplies in hand, we hiked
and jumped our way up the terrain. We
were met with 180 kids singing praises at the top of their voices. After a
brief introduction, we split up into groups offering songs, crafts, and games (football
“American”). The kids had a great time,
and so did we. We then came back
together with all of the students in which Kimberly invited the students to
have a relationship with Jesus.
After the VBS, we took a different path home seeing some
amazing views. We ended our walk at a
new complex Mission Possible is making for the Degeance school and church. This location is much more flat which will
allow a better surface for the kids to play.
We made it back to the complex where part of the group
painted fences, and others in the group met the local teachers and pastors in
leadership. Ben and Andy got to share
with the leaders on the values of being Christ Centered and Personal
Responsibility.
Please pray for the students we will serve tomorrow with
VBS, as well as Deanna, Enoch, Grant, and Reid as they share with the pastors
and teachers.
Each one of us tonight decided to write something we enjoyed
today…
Andy – Got to play Sharks and Minnows with the kids in
Haiti. I was the shark and I was to
catch them, the problem through translation something went wrong. Attack – they got me. Having a blast. See you soon Aj and Aleah!
Kimberly – I am having a great time being back in Haiti and
didn’t realize just how much I missed it.
Reese kiddos – I miss you guys and hope you’re having fun! Love you!
Addison – I am so happy to finally be able to fulfill my
dream of being able to come to visit Haiti. I was given the opportunity to sing
with the children at our vacation bible school destination and just listening
to hear how much joy these children for the love of God just puts a smile on my
face. I miss you AJ and Aleah, hope you’re having funJ
Mya- Haiti is a
beautiful place right on the ocean. I
loved having to interact with all the little kids. They are so adorable!!!! The kids could not understand us but it was
soooooo amazing to see them try to understand and do what we were asking them
even though they had no idea!!! There
are so many wandering animals and it breaks my heart to see them all half
starved:( This place is so beautiful!!!!
Briana- Such a great
first day with these beautiful Haitian children! Wish my whole family could be here. Love and miss you guys.
Ben – Having a great time in Haiti, loved hiking to Degeance
this morning and listening to the children worship the Lord! God has created
beautiful views and is providing wonderful weather for us! I miss you and love
you Sarah, Emery, Isaiah, and baby boy! See you soon!
Lyn- Loving this
place and the wonderful Haitian children!
I can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow! I hope my girls get to experience this! Love and miss my family!
Grant- Life changing experience this morning with the
Haitian children, and this afternoon with Haitian leaders! Truly am blessed to
be living the life I live. Weather and scenery is beautiful! Love and miss you
Mom, Dad, and Grace.
Reid- Having a lot of fun with a great group of people. My
eyes have definitely been opened to new things.
I can’t believe the experience I’ve already had in just one day being
here. The mountain to ocean view is incredible and very beautiful. I miss and
love everyone back at home. See all you
guys soon!
Enoch- I am enjoying the scenery and friendly faces in
Haiti. I had fun playing catch with the
Haitian children. Actions truly speak
louder than words. I couldn’t understand
a word, but I could tell they were having fun and enjoyed our company. It was great to show God’s love. I miss my family and friends and wish them
all well.
DeAnna – The Lord is filling me with love for this place and
the people here. I am so thankful for the team I get to serve with. Family and
friends, I love you and look forward to sharing pictures with you. Thank you
for your prayers!
Amy – I am truly in awe of the team I have the pleasure of
serving with! Just reading their blogs
