I love spending Sundays in Haiti because I get to worship God in a different country with a people so passionate about God. At home I have the comfort of a cushy seat, where the temperature is controlled so that it is just right. In Haiti, we worship in cement buildings where you pray for a small breeze to enter the building and give you relief from the sweat pouring down your face, or in a stick-framed structure wrapped in tarps where the slightest amount of rain would make communication difficult because of the noise of raindrops pounding on the tarps.
But its not about the building, is it? Its not even about us. It's all about God. Just to be able to join my Haitian brothers and sisters in worship warms my heart. Whenever I take my Sunday worship for granted, I remind myself that God wants me to worship Him wherever I am. And I count it a privilege to be here on this Sunday.
After worship, our team continued with the activities of telling a Bible story, making crafts and teaching English. The English program we are piloting on the trip has exceeded my expectations. I am very pleased with the overall response and the passion that the students have demonstrated. After English activities were over, all of them were practicing their newly learned phrases on all of the Americans. Praise God for answering another prayer about direction.
Overall today was another great day and we are preparing for our final day with the kids tomorrow afternoon after school is finished.We are expecting up to 200 kids to show up and join us for a final day of activities.
