It is so sweet for our souls when we see fruit from our
efforts, isn’t it? We have spent that last 4 mornings loving on 400 Haitians
kids, ages 3-16 at VBS in Bercy. Today was our last day and though they have
been presenting the gospel each day, 20 children accepted Christ as Savior. It
is because these 19 students from Forest Hill have been unconditionally loving
these kids.
At one of our team meetings back in the spring, we did a
spiritual gifts test. To our surprise about 75% of the students have the
spiritual gift of Mercy. This was perfect for this trip as we were asked to be
intentional with our love and words and generous with our touch.
The MOH staff has been phenomenal this week! Our intern,
Jackie, is passionate, a hard-worker, and has led us well. The VBS director at
Bercy, Bailey, told us that our team was the best team that has come through
this summer. Not only have the students served without complaining, but have
gone above and beyond what has been asked of them. Also, we have had peanut
butter and jelly on hotdog buns for lunch every day this week. AND we have
refreshed and encouraged the staff here. They said this team has been a breath
of fresh air, good for the soul, and leaving a lasting impression. What an
amazing influence this students have had!
