Saturday in Haiti

Saturday in Haiti

The morning began with the challenges of very low water pressure which was quite low. This is because we are so high in the mountains. This did not affect our after breakfast time of worship. Our prayer time for the day set the tone for praise and worship in our hearts. We left encouraged and ready for ministering to a church with workshops and teachings.

We were in a large church with enough space to divide into groups comfortably. The women are gathered on the mezzanine; the men are on the first floor; the teens are on the balcony level; and the kids were just below in a basement.  All the groups were in hearing distance from each other, so the challenge is on. When the loud singing of the children stopped because we thought they were finished singing, but they came upstairs to the church's main level on their way outside because it was expedient.

The women's session was an amazing testimony to the power of God and the leading and following of his Spirit. There was concentrated prayer for the women after testimonies were shared and the women were encouraged.

The Leadership team reported that their sessions were more enriching than they could have ever expected it to be. They were taught the necessity of a heart for God in order to lead worship and there were eye-opening truths shared.

An eye-glass clinic followed and the reading glasses were distributed as needed. The church was going to be able to bless the others in their congregation as the need arises for reading glasses.

The day ended and we returned to the facility. After a short break we went to the highest mountain in Port Au Prince, had "the best sweet potato bread in Haiti" according to our host Pastor Bob. We enjoyed it and patronized the vendors on that mountain. At the end of the experience we prayed over the City of Porte Au Prince and came back to our "home away from home" for the evening.

There was a choir rehearsal (everyone attending will be singing together) and the presentations of preaching was worked out for the two services that we will be leading tomorrow. We have had a meeting about our last day in Haiti in light of the civil unrest they are having because of the political climate. Our ministry opportunities have been adjusted to be able to travel safely and still reach our destinations without incident. This is the effects of your prayers for our team and the leading of the Holy Spirit as each opportunity is presented.

We will be leaving at 6am tomorrow morning for church.
