This morning I made the hugest pot of oatmeal I have ever seen--we feed a small army here at Tina's house! The men are off to work early, then half of the men will tour Jacmel and the tent cities this afternoon. We ladies are going to paint at the foster house just up the road. We are happy to have a physical job to do today, as yesterday was very emotionally draining as we toured Jacmel with Tina. The tent cities are beyond words and the most difficult thing I have ever had to witness, the most disturbing stories I have ever heard. We ladies are trying to process it together, but it's something we will never totally get over--nor do we want to! We want to have our hearts broken forever for the things that break God's heart. We want to always remeber it and never grow numb to what we saw. We could not wait to get back to Tina's house and love on her kids. Here there is hope and promise of a bright future with God's love. Please pray for Tina and her mission to bring miraculous change to their broken nation.
Last night we had a visit from Pastor Maxi, the pastor of Tina's church. We had just finished our devotions and we were ready for prayer. The timing was perfect, Maxi got on his knees in our circle and we all layed our hands on him and prayed for him. It was a divine moment. Pastor Maxi needs your prayers also as he battles Voo Doo for the souls of his people. Yesterday and today are major Voo Doo holidays and he feels the spiritual warfare especially hard at this time. Maxi is an amazing man of faith, he always smiles and you can see the love of Jesus overflowing from him.
We can't wait to share more stories with you soon!
Love, Laura
