Monday at Desire

Today was another full day of ministry in Desire with English in the morning and Bible stories and a fashion show in the afternoon.  The team is doing amazing! We are spending every ounce of energy while we can because tomorrow we say goodbye.  And as always, that is hard after spending several days building relationships with the kids.

I am excited about promoting the sponsorship of the kids in the next few weeks.  John and I had some fun with the kids capturing images and video to help portray the opportunity of getting involved in supporting our Desire project. Each year we put it in front of the congregation to support the orphans financially for the coming year.  This year Pastor Jeannot has added to his number of children bringing the total to 71.  We will have some fun things to share as we ask the congregation to support the 71 kids for another year.

At this stage of the trip, every team begins to wrestle with the leaving.  The time has been very fruitful and a blessing to us but the time comes tomorrow morning to say goodbye- even if it's only for just now.  For some us, Lord willing, we will return but it still makes the goodbyes hard.  I ask you to pray for our team in this and for health and safety as we begin to prepare to come home.

Tonight we read in Joshua about the stones that were collected and placed as a memorial for all that God had done so they could share that with their children.  In a very small way we too are reflecting on all that God has done through Faith in ministry in Haiti and what He's been doing in each of us personally.  Ultimately we give honor to God for all He's done.
