Today...I must pause to remember Haiti. These are two different pictures taken during my mission trip 2 years ago. The cross was one of the most beautiful places in this country. This picture is a reminder that Christ is there...watching over the city. He is grieving for all of the children and families without shelter and food.
It says in James 1:27 "...look after orphans and widows in their distress..."
The picture to the right is of all the children in the school I taught at for a week. On this particular day...school let out early...all of the children came to the water's edge to see a boy who had given his life to Christ. It was one of the most amazing times of worship that I have ever experienced. When the boy came up out of the water the entire school cheered and sang praise to Jesus! It was beautiful! One of those moments that you get a tiny glimpse of Heaven on earth.
Please pray for all of my friends...Hatians and missionsaries in Haiti today!
From my heart to yours-

What a wonderful experience you must have had in Haiti, Lara. And you got to teach, too? I am praying for your friends there. I hope you get to go back someday.
