Tuesday morning we walked to the tent city on the orphanage property. We handed out the lentil and rice bags and the kites that we made for the kids. The lentil and rice bags are only $35 and supply 30 meals. We made some up to taste it and it was quite good. It is packed full of vitamins to provide nutrition for the malnurished. The kids loved the kites and some actually flew.We had the opportunity to pray for the people at their tents. One lady brought her young child who was extremely malnurished (their hair turns red when they are 
malnurished). We were able to pray for her and the little one and give them a bag of food. Another man had a french bible and he could read it. He was challenged to share his ability with the rest of the camp. He read john 3:16 and then translated it in creole. The people around him were listening to his words. There were so many stories.

David gave his hat to the man in the picture. The man had been lying down as he has difficulty with his legs. When David was telling him he was giving him his hat, his wife came over to get him up. They were so blessed by David's simple act of kindness.
My husband was there with Haiti Arise in October, and he misses Haiti terribly! It is such a blessing to be able to share in your time there and see familiar faces. (Pat - my hubby - and Christoph were fast friends.)
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny question... Is Christoph still wearing prescription glasses? Pat gave his bag of clothes to Christoph before leaving and forgot to take his glasses out. Though he probably couldn't see well at all, they were C's favorite item to wear. LOL. :)
What a blessing you are to these people and them a blessing to you.
