Which story should we share first? It was quite a week in
Time at the orphanage was well spent with all the children. There’s no question that if one of them spotted you, there would be ten others there within seconds, vying for your attention. Precious children! Made in the image of our Creator! They were willing participants in our planned taste test, from which we are still processing data, but are excited to now move forward with its development. The infants and toddlers seemed particularly receptive and eager to finish their sample. Other interactions included various worship times, acting as jungle gym’s, braiding hair, tossing babies, and exchanging Creole and English words for conversation. Let us just say there were tears shed at goodbye…
Food distributions were also a part of our mission. Besides a small distribution in Madame Bouje, we traveled to LeTant where Bobby and Sherry Burnette rebuilt homes after the entire village burnt down. Many traveled miles to get their one box of food (216 meals) for the month. Feed My Starving Children boxes, held with high esteem, were tacked to many doors of mud huts. My (Abby) day-to-day job at FMSC was completely justified as I put faces to the food we work to provide around the world. We will never forget the naked babies and smiling faces awe met in LeTant.
So, this is these peoples’ lives. There will be no change unless we take the time to be our part of the change. We are encouraged that those who know the Lord are rich and full of life, even so much as God intended for the Haitians we met, because their faith is made pure in their weakness. Blessed are they from which we have loved and learned much.
Thank you for your support and continual prayers as we seek the Lord’s will and fullness of life wherever we are. We remain hungry for the nearness of His Kingdom on earth. He has truly made us rich!
Much Love,
David & Abby T.
