Final Day at Desire

Today is a tough day to put into words.  Not just from an emotional standpoint but from the overall fullness of the day and the way the team spent every bit of themselves in loving the kids today.  I challenged the team to make the most of every opportunity because now is their time in Haiti and I don't want them to return home wishing they had done more somehow.
With approximately 175 kids at the project, the kids heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.  And even though the story team felt they somehow failed in communicating because of language and other obstacles- God showed He was clearly in control.  60 kids stepped up to give their lives to Christ this day and almost all of them community kids who had never heard the gospel before.  God is so good- in our weakness, He is strong!
This afternoon we closed our time with dancing, games and strong bonding.  Yesterday was a great day- today I was surprised that it could get better.   God is not surprised by anything and He gets all the glory.  We prayed for Pastor Jeannot and the orphan kids as well as the community kids before we left.  Tonight concluded with a highly encouraging and an emotional team time. God is not done with this team yet...
