Friday. One night left to sleep in Haiti. We are tired, but we are blessed and fulfilled. It has been an honor & blessing to serve God here alongside his people at Haiti ARISE.
First sunburn of the trip for me! We went out to walk around town this morning and the sun was just cooking! It was great to see the streets of Grand Goâve as our last walk in the community was in a rural area. We were trying to imagine how funny it would be to walk around in Canada and wave at people and say hi to almost everyone we see, in the same way we do here!

The last event of our trip. We went to “Tapion Church”, a cell church of Haiti ARISE. It’s a children’s church and we estimate their number to be around 140-150 kids! It was really great to hear them sing so loud, to see them say some memory verses (the older ones were able to say John 1:1-14 by heart!). Some of them sang solo. They were all very cute, and it was good to see the joy of the Lord in them. Lots of them are from non-christian families, and the ministry this church has in their life is great! We were able to pray with them, encourage them to be lights to their families and friends, Sarah gave her testimony, Mr Crocodile was used again to teach tooth brushing and hand cleaning. We also had the opportunity to give them rice, toothbrushes, soap, pencils and crayons.

It seems that going to Tapion was the best way to end our trip. It was a blessing. Those kids are so full of energy and joy, it filled me up and rejoiced my heart.
Please pray for the people we have met here, that the bit of relationship we have started would carry on in Christ, that the work God sent us to accomplish would bear eternal fruits, and that Haiti ARISE would continue to expand their ministry for the glory of God our Father.
Pray for a safe return home, pray that we would be able to rest before work starts. Please pray for each one of us as we re-enter Canadian culture, we know that it can be difficult to fit back into our own culture after exeriencing two intensive weeks in the missionary field.
Thank you all for your support, thank you for being part of our trip, we love you and may God bless you all.
P.S. I’m pretty sure there should be a few more blog entries, our experience is not over, stay with us!
