          Thursday was our first day of community outreach & ministry. After a fantastic conclusion to VBS at “Life is Wealth” orphanage on Wednesday, we embarked on an entirely different sort of ministry. We started our morning by climbing to the ‘overlook’ (in the ……community) – taking time to enjoy the incredible breeze & view, reflect, pray and worship. It was an incredible view! And it was such a refreshing breeze! But….what was God asking us to do? Where was God asking us to focus our efforts? Who was God calling us to talk to? We sought answers, and then eagerly went to work; trusting that God would lead & direct us. Talk about getting outside of our comfort zones!
We divided into groups & set out to prayer walk around …(community)… Each group had unique and amazing experiences! God is soooo good! I was in awe of how many people Crystal knew and how many connections she had in the community. It was a blessing to be able to meet them, see how they were doing since the last time Crystal connected with them, and to pray with them. It’s incredible how people from such vastly different cultures can connect through prayer. I also saw a lot of Haitians getting a good laugh at the size of my beard, haha.
Our team is doing incredible things and I’m in awe of how far they’re willing to be stretched! It’s such a joy to partner with Hearts United With Haiti….to take a small part in their larger ongoing work. Praise God!
