I’m back in Nashville TN, missing the kids and planning my next trip. As we left Haiti on Saturday we waved in the next team as they arrived at the airport. The team, led by Travis Kaiser, will continue where we left off, teaching about the life of Jesus and the message of the gospel. Read their update below.

Sunday was a blast. I preached from Luke 15 on the lost son and Andrew
preached last night on Jonah.
This morning we went to the beach, had lunch at the guest house, then
off to the orphanage for VBS. While we were singing the kids would
sing in English then they sang the song i Creole afterwards. Our team
did an amazing job by inserting Creole words into the drama/story
telling time of creation and the fall. The kids hung on to every word.
The kids were very organized during craft time and snack time. The
rest of the afternoon we played soccer, danced, sang, and just held
the kids.
We showed the first half of Narnia on Saturday night and due to church
yesterday evening we wrapped it up tonight. Some on our team thought
it might have been scary for the kids or that they wouldn’t catch the
storyline. The doubt didn’t last long because there was a huge
eruption of screaming and clapping when Aslan was raised from the
dead. There were 4 or 5 other times where the kids applauded but none
louder than when the evil witch was taken down. Pastor Dony and Pastor
Lionel were giving high fives.
Tomorrow morning we are headed to BonBon to swim and to pray over the
next orphanage site. Then we’ll knock out day 2 of VBS.
Oh…. we now have a whole Haitian orphanage saying “C’mon” and “Long
Hollow, Let’s Go”!
