Day 14 – Saturday, March 3rd Relentless Scripture: Col 3:12; Jam 5:11 Relentless Focus: Compassion Connection Relentless Example: “…put on a heart of compassion” A very poor young woman and her seven year old daughter from a neighboring town about six miles away, walked this morning to visit Pastor François at his compound. Once she arrived someone told her, to her surprise, that Pastor was much too busy to visit with her […]
Day 12 – Thursday, March 1st Relentless Scripture: Col 3:16; Rev 5:9-10 Relentless Focus: A Joyful Noise Relentless Example: “… singing with thankfulness in your hearts …” The workers generally arrive at this compound around 6:00 am. I no longer need an alarm clock because my system is now synchronized to their social movements and sounds, which include singing along with these roosters’ attempts at Beethoven’s 5th in Cock-a-do minor. Even the […]
Day 11 – Wednesday, February 29th Relentless Scripture: Romans 15:13 Relentless Focus: Keeping Hope Alive – Haiti’s Home of Hope Relentless Example: “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing…” This has been a very, very, good day for me. Not because I found a day that was missing for four years (Feb 29th), or that it’s the day that I’ve committed to fasting while […]
Day 10 – Tuesday, February 28th Relentless Scripture: Proverbs 17:22 Relentless Focus: Laugh and Increase the World’s Health Relentless Example: “A Joyful heart is good medicine …” Today, Pastor François, Missionary Bill (Haiti Home of Hope for the Orphans) and I, were going to make a run into Cap Haitian to pick up more supplies. Unfortunately, I had to back out at the last moment due to an emerging health issue, specifically, […]
Day 8 – Sunday, February 26th Day of Rest: Relax and Enjoy the Lord and One Another Relentless Example: “For the poor will never cease to be in this land …” Remember the story I shared last week concerning 3 kids who were in need of care because their parents were either dead or unable to physically care for them? Well today, one of […]
Good morning! My dad sent me a reflection of his time in Haiti the past 7 days to put on this blog! Like I had hoped, Francois and my Dad are quickly becoming BFFs. As Francois said the other day, “We are not brothers anymore, we are ONE. Thank you for sending your father to me. He is my best friend.” As my dad went through pictures he had taken the first few days […]
Francois sent us these pictures earlier this week! On Sunday his church had it’s annual church party as well as 8 or so people getting baptized! Sister churches from all around the community came to Francois’ church for the big party which took place immediately following the service on Francois’ property! I just love these pictures. In other news, my dad is all set and ready to fly out to Pignon THIS Sunday! I just can’t wait for him to experience the “School of Haiti” […]
Pastor Francois expressed his desire for the church in Pignon to be able to see the words of Christ, not just hear them. With a lack of access to Bibles in Creole, the best option was to bring a projector. Through your generous donations we were able to purchase a projector in March of 2011. For the first time for many in Pignon, the church people are able to see written scriptures and words to songs. Not only that, now Francois hosts movie nights in his […]
