Today we started off by really great team time and discussion about God and everything He has been doing on this trip. In the team time we talked about how God provides us with everything we need through His perfect love. This included the scripture I (Adam) shared from my morning devotion this morning that is "All scripture is God breathed and is used for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training so that every man (and woman) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" 2 Timothy 3:16-17. There were other significant things the others shared as well, which spoke to what was on our hearts from yesterday to return to the mountain where we hiked yesterday to pray with a family who lost a member. The great part about this day was talking, sharing, and praying God's love with the wife of the husband who had passed away. James, one of our translators was able to share and witness to this lady and though she did not accept Christ today, she was most definitely close to making that decision. It was amazing to be able to pray Haitian style over this woman and feel the Holy Spirit move through this something so significant.
The afternoon was just as amazing because we met Redgi's mom who is an amazing woman of faith. She was able to share her testimony with Pastor Robbie and what God had been doing in her life. Something that is so significant about this afternoon is though we are faced with hard times and trials, God knows and is in control of any and every situation and we grow even stronger in our faith because of those times. It is like a tree growing and continuing to have its roots go deeper and deeper. This will help us remain strong in whatever we face. As we also had the time to pray with Redgi's mom, we also had the opportunity to return to the pediatric wing of the general hospital we spent Saturday at and noticed that a girl who had been left at the hospital for the purpose of providing care to for a short while was picked up by her father which was a great moment knowing family was once again reunited. All in all I (Adam) have definitely grown much stronger and have been blessed by the people I have met on this trip and cannot thank them or God for as much as I have furthered my faith because of these people.
