Worship with our Haitian brothers and sisters this morning was nothing short of amazing! They love to praise the Lord! Even though our team could comprehend very few of the many words spoken in worship, we didn't need a translator to help us understand exactly what was going on. I know without a doubt that we experienced a foretaste of what awaits us in Heaven! People of every nation and every tongue will be gathered at the throne of the Lamb praising the One who alone is worthy of our praise.
After worship we enjoyed a great feast at the church and then had some time to play with the kids and get a game of basketball (USA vs. Haiti) going. Our secret weapon, Tom Curtis ensured a USA victory! Woot! Woot!
We gathered everyone together in a circle and prayed with those still gathered at the church (a large number still) before we loaded up and headed back for a relaxing afternoon. Many tears were shed by team members and Haitians alike. Goodbyes are always difficult, but we cling to the HOPE that we will see each other again, if not on earth, then for sure in Heaven!
We will leave our hotel at 7am tomorrow and begin the long journey home! We are so grateful for your prayer support and for all of the ways you have been a blessing to the people of Christ the King. I told them about our Lord of Life church family, and told them that our team will be telling you all about them next Sunday.
Before I sign off I want to give a shout out to Katie Overman for doing my hair even as I write this blog! Check out my Twitter account (@Hellyer Lisa) for pics!
