July 6, 2016 - Today was
filled with hope. In the morning, our team
split into two different groups. Half
our team went to Dari’s orphanage for children with disabilities. The other half, (the one I was a part of)
went to Home for Sick and Dying Babies.
This place is an amazing organization that takes in sick babies and
young children and offers them love, medical assistance, and clean food/water. While we were there, we held babies/children
and showed them love along with assisting to feed them during lunch. One moment during our visit really hit me
hard. I was in the room where the very
sick babies were located. There was one
baby who I held for a long period of time and who was obviously very sick. As I held and showed him love, I strongly
felt God’s presence, and the word “beloved” started to repeat through my mind. At that moment, I felt like God was telling
me that all of these children are His beloved, despite their current
circumstances, and there is nothing that will ever change His unfailing love
for them, and everyone in the world.
Once we got back to the house, we ate lunch and visited this
incredible organization called “The Apparent Project”. This organization is focused on job creation
with the Haitians in order to help keep families together. We were given a tour of the facility where
the Haitians were creating the merchandise’s that is sold to support their
family. I was in awe of the joyful and
hopeful environment, and how God’s is working through this organization
