Today started early (5:30) so we could attend a worship service in a near by neighborhood. It was under a tent, but the location and surroundings were of no concern...the worship was so powerful! They even sang some English so we could understand. They have this service every day - can you imagine having that in our society?
On to a tour of Grace Village...what a beautiful, fun and blessed place. God has used this place powerfully in the lives of the children, volunteers and workers. How awesome the things He can do when His followers listen and obey His call!
We spent the rest of the day visiting elders that have very little. Healing Haiti supports them, and there are individuals and families that provide this support directly for a specific elder (they are always looking for more sponsors!) We brought them food and spent time talking, singing, praying and giving massages. What a team we have - everyone dives right in to help in their own special way. One elder, Marie, is 104 years old (!) and it was such a joy to see and hear her reaction when we told her that her & I share a name. I'm sure we'll post a photo of her - she's such a joyful, faithful woman! The faith she embodied was such an encouragement and role model to me. I will hold on to this example and memory dearly.
Another wonderful day in Haiti enjoying and sharing God's love!
