Entertaining Angels

Day 4 - Entertaining Angels

Today was a gift from God! 

We started our day with a visit to Peace Cycle. Peace Cycle is a ministry that recycles the drinking water pouches found around the streets of Haiti and repurposes them into various items such as bags, wallets, placemats, etc. We were given a tour of their operations and then had time after to pour into their ministry by shopping in their store. 

In the afternoon, we spent time at Le Phare orphanage. After spending only a short time, we grew close to the beautiful children while doing many activities together.  We played soccer, jumped rope, played frisbee, blew bubbles, played tic tac toe and hopscotch, drew with sidewalk chalk, and shared a snack together. Before we left, the Lord had placed on my heart to share with them Psalm 33 so I was blessed to share with them the Psalm with our translator. After the Word, we gathered together holding hands forming a large circle and prayed together.  We prayed over the children and their pastor who runs the orphanage.  His heart for the children and the sacrifice he’s made to serve them is inspiring.

  

After we prayed, the children burst forth into a worship song.  The presence of God filled the place. Some of us couldn’t hold back the tears and they were streaming down our faces. It was difficult to stand in that moment and not feel like weeping from the power, love, and presence of God. I closed my eyes and lifted my hands and it sounded like an angelic host of angels singing praises to God. What an incredible blessing and surprise. The pastor prayed a blessing over us and thanked us for traveling and taking the risk to be there with them when there is so much political turmoil going on in the world. We were so humbled. The children hugged us tightly as we left and each one made sure to hug each of us! 

The harmony of the voices and of the day, wrecked us! There were so many blessings and surprises that filled the day, leaving us in a place of peace and serenity. We are so full!

“Let the love of the brothers and sisters continue. Do not neglect the spiraling to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:1-2
