Miraculous. Simply miraculous, Each new day shows us more miracles that God has restored hope in Haiti. Today we took part in the Elder program through Grace Village. We rode out towards the mountains and on our way up a hill we visited three different elder homes. God called us to wash their feet and give them food and drink. The first was an 85 year old man and his brother, which is a miracle in and of itself since 50% of Haitians are 25 years and younger. He was blind and half deaf but the evidence of his appreciation and love was in his smile and touch. The next stop was a women so gracious, beaming with contagious joy. The final stop was with a married couple, deeply needing prayer for their pains and son's sickness. During all these visits, the team joined in song while a Healing Haiti staff translated to Creole verses and interpreted our prayers. Other members were also called to play with the neighborhood children in these places, who were clearly positively impacted. After this we were pleased with a tour at Grace village, which was hopeful to see growth in care of the community for taking in children for family style homes, education, a clinic, and church. We were especially welcomed by a two year old who the community is raising together and has blessed us with his youth. Next, we toured and dined at Fleri bakery/restaurant. We listened to Jake, a long term missionary, testify to the greatness of job creation. He shared his experience working hand in hand with Haitians to bring more jobs to the community for them to flourish in their environment. It was awe-inspiring and delicious! Tomorrow brings another water-truck day and a visit to home for sick and dying babies. God is good.
Bon nwi (goodnight), Aly
