Wednesday in Haiti

Today we will be teaching in sessions all day. The breakfast was filled with fresh pineapple, eggs and juice.

We are staying in the same facility that is housing orphans from the 7.? earthquake in 2010. They greeted us last night when the bus finally made it to the location. They showed their appreciation by  taking our hands and walking us to the open air chapel and singing to us. Our tiredness left and we rejoiced with them. Then we were taken to dinner.

The ride to Hinche took an hour. Although in the daylight, the watching was still a bit tense. It's the gasping of breath and looking away as we plow through winding roads.

In an hour, we are parked next to a large building and people are singing and we approach getting out of the heat and waiting for instructions. The teachers are divided and sessions are started. We are sharing as the women are listening through translation. Amazing how the word of God encourages and meets everyone where they are. Even though the language is different, encouragement is needed in every culture. We shared and laughed together and after several encouraging words form different women, we are dismissed for lunch. Our team has provided for the several hundred attendees including the children and we will continue with session in the afternoon. How hungry they are for the word of God and how it enriches them to hear our stories of similarity as women.

We completed our teaching seminars which went well and headed back to the Global Vision Citadel. Tomorrow we will stay in the Citadelle and paint. The teachings went well and everyone is exhausted. Dinner is served.
