"Glory to God!''
These were among the words sung in Creole and English--exaltations lifted up to heaven from the homes of the Healing Haiti elders today. Our team, guided by Jonas and Valery, visited these precious people and sang hymns with them such as Amazing Grace, Praise Ye the Lord, Blessed Be the Name of the Lord, and Glory to God.
We also washed their faces, arms, and legs. We massaged their shoulders and their hands. We laughed with them and danced with them. But it was the songs that I'm humming tonight, remembering the looks of joy on the faces of the elders who have come to think of Healing Haiti as Jesus' hands and feet.
Earlier in the day we visited Grace Village where Jake talked with us about how God has blessed the efforts of Healing Haiti with the success of Fleuri bakery and restaurant.
After visiting an orphanage where we played four-square, hopscotch, and colored in coloring books, with the children we got back in the tap tap to make our way home.
We shared dinner, devotionals, and prayer time with our leaders Lisa Olson and Barb Larson. We are now heading to our bunk beds where we'll fall asleep talking about the highlights of our day. We'll each have our own special moments to which we'll drift off to sleep. Mine will be the beautiful voices raised in perfect harmony giving Glory to God.
