Thurs. - Grace Village

Today we are going to Grace Village and will be serving the elderly, meeting and playing with the orphans and doing some service projects, including painting the basketball court.  I'm looking forward for the team to experience the hope and blessing of the impact on these people's lives.  The first day on the ground during the water truck deliveries was the most intense and eye opening experiences we encountered.  Gradually, the team is seeing hope and a future for the Haitians with some of the programs offered and developed with and through Healing Haiti and other organizations.  It is and honor and a privlege to co-lead this group of Bell/Alamco employees.  We came as co-workers, however, we are bonding in a special way that we truly are becoming a family.  It is special to see how each one in the group is contributing and being vulnerable and open.  I really am enjoying the word of the day at the end of each day.  Sharing about our experiences and helping each other work through the difficult things we've seen is very healing.    This trip is not for the faint of heart.  It is gut wrenching at times and at other times it is the most fulfilling, joyful experience.  My prayer today is that we continue to press in to what the Lord may have us learn, understand, and absorb into our lives.
