Water Truck Day

Today we delivered water into Cite Soleil. For most of us, this day was a shock as it was the first time in a slum. We were overwhelmed with the joy of the kids and how desperate the people were for water.    Our team took a total three water stops, and by the end of the day we were exhausted. The first stop was a little slow, as the line for water was the shortest that some of us had ever seen. We kept the kids busy by holding them and showing the love of Jesus. For our next stop, we were taken to a stop that was new for all of us. We were taken to the edge of the slum where Cite Soleil was being rebuilt. A catholic organization was in the process of tearing down the old shanties and rebuilding homes for the people. It was very encouraging to see how the city is changing for the better. Our final stop consisted of many hearts being broken as we were frustrated by what we saw. We were in a place where people were desperate for water and the devil was at work. Tears were shed that night as we worshiped and prayed for Gods strength in overcoming the challenges that were faced. We were also given the opportunity to celebrate Jeans birthday today with Healing Haiti staff and the other team that is here with us as well. Thank you for you prayers. God is at work in our team.
