Today has been amazing and eye opening. We started our day with a tour of Mission of Hope. This took nearly an hour and a half, because of the large scope of their ministry. The campus is 72 acres and it seems that they are using every inch of it for ministry. We learned about their orphanage, housing 63 kids on campus, their medical clinic, their dental clinic, their food distribution center (69,000 meals a day), the prosthetics and the 3-cords ministry (a place for amputees to work).
Our tour ended outside of the church, just in time for service. We joined nearly 1500 Haitians for a powerful worship service. It was over 2 hours long, but never felt long, even when most of it was in Creole. Singing familiar worship songs in English while our Haitian brothers and sisters sang in Creole was moving. Then the pastor preached, with energy and passion, about the importance of the biblical family, and the responsibility of the various family members.
The last part of our day was a tour of their village ministry in Bercy, followed by lunch a local Haitian restaurant.
Tomorrow we begin our morning VBS ministry and afternoon village and construction ministry. Please continue to pray for us. Not only that we would be heathy and safe, but that we would have an impact for His Kingdom, and that we would learn to see people they way Christ does.
