After yesterdays terrific, if not terrifying ride, left us all pretty much zonked. Thankfully today was a beautiful day of orientation, and stepping into the ministries here on the campus and in the surrounding area this included (not exhaustive) working in the local brothel, ministering to prisoners in jail, walking through the community with a crowd of children to the market (with a translator), fixing a water pump, washing dishes, playing with children at the nutrition program, playing with and feeding special needs children, cleaning garbage, joining in a soccer game, painting toe nails, applying lotions, singing and doing massages in the Gran moon (the old folks home) along with other things.
Highlights of the day are seeing our team throw themselves into the culture - the Lord is providing incredibly with faith and obedience. Tomorrow we take off to Ansafelour - a city with the countries most important Voodoo sites. We will be touring these sights, seeking to understand the underlying cultural issues of Haiti. We will also be doing a VBS on a beach close to the city with children. Pray for God to work in the hearts and lives of the children and our team (I know you are :)
God is leading us through unlikely people - its becoming increasingly clear that He is on the move! More to come!
