Isaiah 54:10

Wednesday was the last day with the FBC team. Half of us went evangelizing and the other half painted at the new Alabama House. I went with the group who went evangelizing and what a blessing it was! We split into three groups each with a translator and went door to door. We talked to people who already knew who Jesus was, people who weren't ready to accept, and people, through Gods mighty Hand, were excited to accept Jesus in their hearts. Seven people came to know Christ Wednesday morning! Wednesday afternoon, we took the Children's Hope kids for a surprise treat! Ice cream! They all loved it!!

Thursday and Friday have been my "hang out" days! I spent the majority of both days at the orphanage just spending time with the kids. I learned their favorite games, I tried new food, and I relaxed with them. What they knew as everyday activities, I treasured as precious moments. These past two days were two I would love to be able to put on replay and experience them over and over again. 

I realized that these kids have no idea the amount of prayers, donations, and attention they receive from people all over. They don't know about all the lives they have impacted personally or the lives brought together because of them. God has used those sixteen children in the tent two years ago to do so many great things in Haiti. God has been made known in numerous lives because of their sweet faces and they have no idea. One thing that they were unaware of was the Rave for Hope. I was so sad I was going to miss it this year, so we decided to have our own. Kous pou Espwa!! 

Isaiah 54:10
"Though the mountains be shaken and hills removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace will not be removed." Says The Lord who has compassion on you.
