Last day of school

Today is Friday and our team completed their last day of teaching English in school. Our goal was to try and implement English into the children's school day and it was a very successful week. The team did an awesome job preparing and executing the English lessons. Each day in the afternoon the children would practice the things they learned in the morning. That brought a "good job!" from every team member and a smile to their faces.

We are not quite finished in Desire. We have a full ministry day tomorrow and we will have the children from the community join us for the full day tomorrow.

A side note for me today was the opportunity to see a part of Haiti I had not yet visited. My pastor friend Arnie has joined our team for the trip to Desire to see ministry and partnership opportunities with The Global Orphan Project as he seeks an outreach/compassion opportunity for his new church. We traveled to Marmalade to see a future GO project getting ready to be started. Marmalade is located on the top of a mountain chain that separates Gonaives from Cap Haitien on the north coast of Haiti and is a beautiful town. It's very lush because they get rainfall year-round and have many different crops clinging to the mountain sides. I am excited to see where the Lord might lead Arnie and his church.
