Some children gathering for one of our VBS programs. We did VBS at LeBay, Beauchamp, and Ansefelour. This picture was taken at Beauchamp.
I preached at the church in Beauchamp. My translator's name was Jude. The church is a newly established church and the building isn't finished yet. The kids above our sitting on one of the church "pews." Two women came forward after the sermon and committed their lives to Christ. Jude said they were "moved by the sermon." One of the Haitian church leaders looked over at me, gave the thumbs up sign and said, "good preach." I didn't necessarily agree but apparently God was still able to touch a couple of lives.
Beauchamp is a new site in which the mission is establishing. It has a mission building that is somewhat close to being finished (minus running water, and bathroom facilities). In fact this is a picture of our bathroom. 3 plywood sheets, and a 4 legged stool with a toilet sit sitting over a hole dug in the ground.
It was market day at the big river when we crossed to go to Ansefelour. I wish I could post more pictures because it was a really pretty drive along the coastline of Haiti. Speaking of rivers ... the big river we had to cross on our way to Lebay and Beachamp was pretty high. It was up over the headlights when we crossed.
All in all it was a really great trip. I was missing my family and a little more homesick this time than on previous trips so I was really glad to come home. But what an experience it was!
