The end of work day 3

Tonight as our team met on the breezy balcony, Colton led us in a few worship songs with his guitar. Can I just say this proud mom loves to hear him play. For a 13 year old to have taught himself to play several songs in just a year of playing...proud mom momment.


He chose Mighty to save. The words "Savior, He can move the mountains" stood out to me as we so clearly saw God move a tropical storm out of our path today!

Sometimes I think we are surprised when we pray for things such as this and the thing we prayed for actually happens. Almost like we are surprised that God did it. Not that we think He can't. Why is that?

Just as in the funds for this church/school build. We asked and from what many are saying, they doubted, wondering how a large sum of money could be raised now. But we prayed that the money would come, knowing God was asking AWAKENHAITI to take on this project. So if He asked this of us, wouldn't He provide what was needed? It's a call to obedience. Then it's a call to faith.
We see God moving in this church community already. I went out into the community to visit a few families on Wednesday. One of the questions I asked was "have you been up to see the new church building?" 4 out of 4 replied with a joy filled smile, yes! Suzette hasn't been able to leave her home in months because of the bleeding she has when she walks from the cancer within, asked God to relieve her the previous night so she could walk the whole way to the church and back...He did and again, she saw a loving God answer her prayer!

Every night this week, Pastor Nathan has lead a worhip service outside the building. They have been in prayer for the building, for the workers, for the storm to move, and for Christ to move. Tuesday night many many new people came to the church and many people gave their life to Christ. I joked with Pastor Nathan that he was going to have the church filled before it's even done being built, he just laughed and said "yes, many people can come now". The fact that he can now reach more people doing God's work...that's what it's all about! I was reminded of the woman at the well. This community needs food and water and many other things, but as Jesus says in John 4:13-14, "anyone who drinks this water will soon become thristy again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."

We are so excited to be joining Pastor Nathan and this community in the first worship service in the church tonight! It will be a huge celebration of praise!

End of work day 4...the roof is done!
