This morning included prayer, worship through song sung accapella, a solo song by Guerline, one of the older girls, and the gospel. The kids heard the story of Jesus from Luke 22-24 and signed their names on a cross signifying Christ's sacrifice for them.
We got word that the rainstorm that dropped a lot of rain on Gonaives did not hit Desire and so we moved forward with plans to have Cinema Night in Desire watching Finding Nemo in French which is called Trouver Nemo.
When we arrived in Desire there was a buzz of excitement because Pastor Jeannot had told the children what was happening. The church was already alive with music since we borrowed a generator in order to supply the church with power to show the movie. We quickly got the computer and projector set up and started the film.
The scene was incredible- the sound of children excitedly jumping up and down with expectant chatter for what was going to happen- to complete silence from the children as the movie started to play. You could hear the kids laughing and the mamas got into it as well. Many from the community showed up for this special event too.
This was special because it's never been done in Desire. It was great to witness something special. On top of that, the team got to experience a completely new adventure- traveling to Desire as the sun was setting. We were treated to grand views of massive thunderheads in the mountains and later the lightning show they provided. What's even more, there were millions of stars to view that were not covered by the storm in the mountains.
Sunday is the best day of the week- I've said it before and I will continue to say it! What could be better than worshiping God, playing with His children and being present in His creation?
