Home


The team arrived home tired, but all smiles about what they'd done, how they'd seen God work. While there, God tought me alot about hope.

Rom 5:3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
Rom 5:4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
Rom 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

The people of Haiti have amazing character. These are people who endure things on a daily basis that would put us into therapy. Yet when you speak with them and live with them they have no complaints. They look for the smallest good and focus on that. They look for God in everything around them and they find Him in the worst places.


Romans 8:24- Hope that is seen is not hope. Who hopes for what they see.
Hope is something that happens when you believe you will receive something you don’t yet have

Thank you, God for the team, for return to their home, their safety, and for using them to glorify You. Amen!
