Earlier this
week, Lance returned from a 4 day trip to Haiti. While he was there he helped with a tile
project and worked on a Haiti Care Mission distribution. God started the ground work for this trip
during our trips in November and March.
During the
November trip, Lynn and the girls went to a small school in Petionville where
we met Pastor David. David was the
pastor/principal of a school where we were able to distribute HCM items. We
really enjoyed our time with Pastor David and hoped that we would have more
opportunities to serve with him again.
Meanwhile,
during our March trip, we met Madame Dominque, who runs a ministry for “street
children” in Delmas. She takes care of
at least 150 children every Saturday.
The children range in age from three years old to 25. This ministry provides a variety of
activities for these children. They
serve these children through a prayer meeting, a meal, and skills classes
(computer/sewing/jewelry design/etc.)
The children also make sweet treats which provides an income for the
ministry. The day we met Dominique she
invited us to come and tour her ministry and meet her “children”. But, we knew we wanted to do more than meet
her children. We wanted to bless them
with gifts of love.
During Lance’s
trip last week, he had the opportunity to visit Dominique’s mission. He had a wonderful time meeting the children
and sharing the Gospel message with them.
He was also able to take gifts in for each child as a reminder of how
much God loves them. Interestingly,
Lance’s host for the day was Pastor David.
Pastor David serves as the Spiritual Coordinator and Director of
Programs for this mission. It was a real
blessing for us to work with Pastor David again and meet these precious
children.
We are grateful
for how God opened the doors for Haiti Care Mission to serve with this ministry
in Haiti. The entire planning of this
trip was through the hands of the Almighty.
He made these connections and He brought the pieces together. That has to be one of the best parts of being
in ministry….watching God work for His children.
In addition to
the distribution/outreach that Lance completed, he also finished a tiling job
for our missionary partners. The
bathroom that he worked on was one of the last parts of their home that still
had damage from the 2010 earthquake. It
was nice to be able to help remove the last sign of that traumatic day from
their house.
So we hope you
will praise God with us for “another
successful trip.” We are grateful for the opportunity to be
used by God to serve His missionaries and to serve His children. We are looking forward to the next trip and
the next chance to be His hands and feet.
By the way, God has already opened the door for the next trip and we
will be returning to Haiti in June for another opportunity. Praise the Lord.
