I hope all of you guys had a great Easter. We went to church this morning and had a great time of worshipping God. We were also greatful that the church only went two hours. Haitian churches are known to go five or six hours when they get excited about something. With Sharles that can be difficult.
This week was good for us as our Pastor, Pat Hood, and executive Pastor, Kyle Goen, came to visit us along with Kent Jones who runs an organization that serves orphans and vulnerable children, called the 25 Project. It's was a great visit as they all three gave us good advise about living on the international mission field. They gave us some things to pray about. We are very thankful for their wise counsel. Check out Kent's website to see the amazing things he is doing at www.25project.org
On Saturday Brittany, Sharles and I took a family day to Karibe Hotel pool. We really enjoyed it and Sharles really loves the pool.
This upcoming week we will be doing our ministry at the children's home along with our discipleship classes. We also have two heart patients staying with us this week. Yanick is preparing approximately 20-30 children to have heart surgery in May.
Easter is an amazing day. Jesus dying for us to take our punishment for our sins is truly amazing, but him rising from the dead really adds to it. When he defeated death, he gave us the ability to defeat it also. He gaves us the chance to have everlasting life. Truly an amazing gift. We should be praising God everyday for that gift he gave us. Thank you Jesus.
