Monday: Sifting Through Concrete and Recess

After breakfast and morning devotionals, we spent the morning sifing through concrete and other dust material, cleaning out areas around the facility. The school kids were let out of class for a lunch/recess time, so we took the time to eat lunch and hang out with the kids. One of the artist vendors, Pierre, has been extremely kind and talkative with the group. He is the brother of the group's translator, Jean Claude. After time with the children and other locals, the group relaxed for the afternoon in various ways.

While some, like Rhodes and Sean, played soccer with some of the local school boys, others, like Dan, spent time playing cards with the church pastor. He eventually went out for the evening to another worship service. The school and church of this area had collapsed, and the worship space was little more than what we in America might call a shack. But fifty people joined in spirit-led worship for the evening before Dan returned to the group and all settled in for the evening.

One of our group noted this time to be a time of spiritual growth both for the local community and our Haiti 10.

Long days and pleasant nights.
