Children's Household of Tomorrow.

Yesterday, we went to this orphanage with very sweet kids. 47 or so of them, and we took lots of shoes, clothes, fun things to play with, musical instruments, etc. We had a great devotional by Josh before we left, exhorting us to give this orphanage the same fresh spirit we had at the beginning of the week. The team stepped up to the challenge!

We had a lot of fun playing and dancing with the children. It was a shorter visit, because the "chicken team" had taken quite awhile at the market, and then the head momma at Well-being also pointed out their need for corn, rice, beans, cooking oil, milk and spaghetti noodles (which they like to eat for breakfast), so we had a crew head out for those supplies when we left a little early.

Treated our translators and drivers to a nice dinner at the hotel, which, of course, took almost three hours!

Today we left at 8 a.m. for a 9 a.m. service at Source de la Grace. I first visited this church in September of 2010, and it was in ruins, and surrounded by a huge tent city. It is now a beautiful new building. Pastor Moise Vaval is an amazing, passionate godly man, who lost one of his sons in the earthquake. We got there a little early, and he remembered my being from Texas, and he called me into his office to chat. He was a very gracious host, offering us headsets so that our translator could speak to us, and asked me to come up and speak during service.

It was about a two-hour service, with very lively praise and worship and an extremely passionate message. After church, they showed us their new school building, already in use, and the new orphanage building, where they hope to house 40-46 orphans by the end of the month. Moise spent a lot of time talking to us and sharing with us. It was so good to see him again!
