Back after a week in Haiti of incredible opportunity and blessing! I've been home three days now and am still piecing together all of the ongoing challenges for our ministry there.
It was hot and humid. The ravages of Hurricane Sandy were particularly evident as we headed southeast of Port au Prince to La Cayes. A pastor there shared how his home had been washed away and he and his four children were now living in one room because they had no place to go. We were forced to cross a river that had swept over a road and we literally were driving through several feet of water, some of it washing into our car.
It was more than we expected in terms of participation, so that presented special challenges in scheduling and feeding the nearly four hundred pastors in two locations. Their excitement and appreciation made every inconvenience pale in comparison to the blessing of studying the Word.
One pastor wrote, "We thank God so much for these seminars. We never went to a Bible school, and we answer the call to preach and to lead churches. With those seminars,we feel we are in school and we learn so much. Great privilege".
