Walking into La Phare was incredible, there was a sense of
peace and happiness among the kids there. It took a few minutes for them to
warm up, but once they did there was a sense of trust and pure joy (Jesus
Others You). We sang songs and made God’s Eyes. The kids really took to the
idea that God will always be watching over them and got very creative with all
of the different colors of yarn and popsicle sticks. It was an amazingly joyful
and spirit filled visit.
Our next adventure was a trip up the mountain. We stopped in
downtown Port au Prince to buy hats and that was our first experience with
bartering. We also stopped halfway up the mountain and looked at many booths
that had hand-made metal art and other decorative items. Once at the top we overlooked
an incredible image of God’s Country that many of us have never experienced
before. We finished the trip down the mountain and got to experience a church
on wheels and many people following, this caused a major traffic delay.
We finished the day with an insightful discussion during
team time – How are we going to
translate what we have learned here into our daily walk with God when we get
home?
