Haiti Trip, Sunday, March 17

Prayer Partner of the Day: Jay Horstman

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Sunday has always been my favorite day of the week. I woke up with anticipation of a wonderful day of worship, and indeed it was just that! A three hour worship service, a solid hour of which was singing, was exactly what was needed to kick off another "best Sunday ever" in Haiti. Worshiping in another culture is a beautiful experience. The joy, the singing, the prayers, the enthusiasm, the dynamic speakers, and the participation of the congregants always touch my heart and call me to dig deep to worship more. Pere Goursse is a true disciple of God with a heart as big as the Milky Way. He cares for his congregation and community as if they were members of his immediate family, and in fact, he is doing the same for us. He is the last one asleep, and the first one up, to ensure we are safe, sound, and cared for. He also happens to be a natural at Phase 10...and really likes to skip me! So maybe he's not to great after all! :)

This afternoon, we felt we deserved time off. We piled in the Kia and the Jeep, and the team headed to the beach! Kalico Beach wanted to charge us $45 each to sit on their beach for the afternoon, so we took the team to Montrouis to relax in the quiet courtyard and oceanfront wall. Has there ever been a more relaxing Sunday? The team is so happy and content. The ride back to Cazale was quiet and uneventful, as a ride should be!

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.
