Day 5- Leaving Desire

From Bob Schuchard:

Time to Leave Haiti

How much work does God do in your life in just one week?  Maybe in a 'typical' or 'ordinary' week, you might say "not much".  But I've come to realize that one week in Haiti... one week with the orphans at Desire... is far from 'typical' and is certainly never 'ordinary'.  These weeks seem to be some of the most fruitful times I've experienced God working in my life and in the lives of those around me.  

We just finished our last team meeting to debrief the day and the whole trip, appropriately, on the outdoor balcony at Jumecourt with the sounds of the orphans playing in the background.  It was so encouraging to hear what God accomplished this week in the lives of our team members!  In addition to ministering to, loving and sharing Jesus with the orphans, God built lasting relationships, convicted of sin, brought about true forgiveness and fostered amazing transparency within our team.  We will never be the same because of this trip and our relationships will be significantly deeper and forever changed as a result. We spent time tonight just praising God for both the opportunity and the blessing of spending this week at Desire, Haiti. 

Tomorrow we board the plane to head home to joyful reunions with family and friends. We appreciate your prayers for safe travel and that God would continue to help us process this week and His resulting intentions for us and our ministry in Haiti.  Please continue to pray for our precious little friends in Desire.
