We (Jean, Sharon, and I) just met some of the world's poorest people. We went into the area(tent city) on the other side of our compound and found a God sent person to lead us to those with the greatest need. Words will never tell.
Always remember the blind old lady sitting on the ground doing her laundry. She was taking care of 10 people. They lived in a tiny shack. We gave her food and she prayed a prayer of praise and thanks. It was like God was right beside her. It was the best and hardest thing I have ever done. They were also thankful.
Never forget the lady and her son. They knelt before us and asked us to lay hands on their heads and pray for them. We gave them food and we prayed.
Life can never be the same. This makes what we saw in Sir Lanka and Guatamaula seem like 5 star hotels. Our guide said that 200 years ago - 1803 - Haiti chose to build itself on the blood of swine - VooDoo.
So many smiles with so little to smile about.
A mixture of emotions so intense and so opposite. Impossible to reconcile - don't even try.
Our guide -sent from Jesus - told us that God will bless us for what we have doen. He already has. I think I can feel myself healing. I have met God in Haiti - as I prayed before I left.
The tent cities of Haiti - the new low and poorest of the poor pray and love Jesus
