Thank you! Team December 2011

To simply list the things the team DID while they were here would not do the week we just experienced justice. Sure, we did some construction type stuff at the Good Samaritan Boys home that needed to be done. We ran physicals on all the Good Samaritan children. We taught a children’s bible story, played games and celebrated in Canaan. We offered medical care for many in the community we are working with in Canaan. Those things are all great and many people were blessed because of that.
But…there’s more. 32 Orphans received letters from sponsors. 32 children received loved from 13 team members who left their jobs and families to come see them! This team was part of a healing process in 6 children who recently were taken from dire situations (but the only thing they knew) and placed in a new home. Approximately 130 children in Canaan got to have a day focused on them. A day to color, play, and sing. A special needs child was loved, an example set for many. Many people had an opportunity to not only have medical care, but also encouragement and prayer.
And it still doesn’t stop there.
This week was not only about Americans ministering to Haitians. This team walked away feeling blessed to have loved. They saw God in the smiles of the children. They experienced faith like never before in a visit to Suzette. They were encouraged by the strength and resiliency of the Haitian people. Some saw what it looks like to seek and find God “outside the box”.
Again leaves me wondering WHO was blessed more?
Thank you Team December 2011 for blessing those we love, our family, and our ministry with your time and love!
