Praise God for a blessed, safe day here in Haiti for the UBC team! This morning we went to 2 churches and helped lead VBS with some amazing kids. Back at the House we unwrapped, stamped, and prepared 240 French Bibles to be given out at local churches this week. Bibles are so precious here and cost Haitians about $20 in US money (or 165 in Haitian dollars). Individuals here would have to save for 2-3 months to be able to afford a Bible. This evening we split into four groups and went to local churches to assist with revival services. The preachers in each group included Pastor K, Pastor A, Brother Joe, and Sam Forman! That's right - Sam preached tonight and he did an awesome job! We are so proud of him!!! Outcomes for the evening church services for the four churches - approximately 535 people in attendance, 8 individuals saved, and 40 rededications!!!!! Praise God!!!!
Today was awesome, worship lasted for hours, fellowship in our team was amazing, and God has been with us and all around us...While we pray that our work here is a blessing to others it is truly us who have been blessed. In churches where walls have crumbed, no air conditioning or padded seats exist, where English is not understood by many, our God is present in a mighty way. The faith and hope that the Haitian people have is contagious! They have such passion and longing in their worship! You can hear them singing well before you arrive at the church, which gave us chill bumps, and they raise their hands and praise our glorious Father with everything they have. What a testament. This trip is in no way a sacrifice to those of us here...it is an HONOR to be the hands of feet of our Savior! God bless and goodnight! More later!
