Sunday -- Our Sabbath

Hello Everyone,

It's Sunday today, and we started the day by making breakfast for our hosts, and then it was off to church. We went to an English speaking Haitian Church, and it truly was such a blessing to us. Spiritually, it has been an intense few days, and being able to worship our Lord and feel the peace of the Holy Spirit wash over us was a moment to be treasured. We left there feeling fed and refreshed.

After church, we headed to beach for a couple hours of relaxation, and on the way, we passed one of the mass gravesites for the victims of the eartquake. It was sobering to see it, but even more sobering to think about all that the Haitian people have had to endure. The devastation is still everywhere to be seen, which is a moment by moment reminder of January 12, 2010. Just as vividly as we remember September 11, they remember January 12. At the tent city, the kids were quick to tell us that their Goliath was and is the earthquake. Even though they survived the earthquake, they still have to face their Goliath everyday.

Please continue to lift up the country, their new government, and the people of the Haiti in your prayers. Your prayers are Goliath slayers!

Blessings to all and especially to all the other teams who are returning from missions, on missions, or preparing for missions.

Tracy
