This being our final morning in Haiti we are all filled with mixed emotions. We would be lying if we claimed to not miss our home, however, we are filled with a longing to stay. Our hearts have truly been won by the people of Haiti.
Last night we were blessed with the opportunity to attend a church service at Saint Marc Church led by our very own team leader, Trace Roth. The moment we crossed the threshold we were overtaken by what seemed to be a thousand singing voices. During the worship service, the church truly lived, even the walls around us seemed to be singing praises to God. We were surrounded by an unquestionable love for our Glorious Lord. Many knees were bent and many prayers were prayed, it seemed as though the congregants greatly understood what Christ had done for us all. The message was centered around repentance and the hope we find in God. It was a uniquely enlightening experience.
The devotion of our Christian family in Haiti is evident in every aspect of their lives. It would seem as though they truly understand the gravity and reverence of our Holy Father.
We spent yesterday with the Students and staff of Chardene, one of the Mission Possible's Christian Academies. It was a refreshing reminder of why we are here, not only are we taking pictures, but we are forming relationships. The students were more then enthusiastic. They loved teaching us phrases and playing games with us.
This country bears a constant reminder that the light of Christ encompasses all nations, and all cultures.
Our team is thankful for the opportunity God has put before us. We are thankful for the love and support of the Haitian people, and will keep them in our prayers always.
