Impact Haiti Caribbean Coast

Bonswa! Good evening from Haiti

 I am struggling tonight to express to you everything that the team experienced Monday and Tuesday. As I stated Sunday evening we had the privelege to travel to the southern coast of Haiti. The city of Cayes(pronounced Ki) was different from Port-au-Prince. It is a four hour ride across the countryside and through the mountains of Haiti. When we arrived at 10am children were already waiting for us to start. It was a great feeling knowing that we were part of something so awesome. We started with about 40 children and midway through our songs it grew in number to about 150. The service was great! We were asked to also speak to the young people (15-25 years old). Pastor Eddie shared with them about spiritual integrity. We realized quickly that young people in Haiti deal with the same things that young people in the US deal with. Generations deal with the same things no matter the culture. After we ate dinner prepared for us we had an evening service with the families of Cayes. Pastor Eddie shared in the word and the alter time melted my heart. Many men came forward to receive prayer. I prayed with 12 young girls to accept Jesus as their savior. I am overwhelmed by God to have had the opportunity to share the love of Christ with them and to pray with them.

 

We received great hospitality while away from the mission house in Port-au-Prince. The team each received their own coconut. We drank coconut milk together.

The team was able to stop on the beach at the caribbean coast for 30 minutes. There were some children there. They saw us all walk after a baby crab that we saw and they started to dig deep in a hole and showed us a big crab. It was a very nice treat for the team to enjoy.

Tuesday morning we started with 200 children in service and it grew to over 300. It has been a high honor to share the love of Christ with the people and children of Haiti. The team came back to the mission house after a 6 hour ride here and ate dinner, cleared off the table and shared about our two day experience. We have only been here a short time but feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to come to Haiti as a missions team.

Bonweit! (Good Night) from Haiti
