Church This Morning

The service we attended this morning was exceptional. The Haitian people seemed very passionate about the God that they pledged discipleship to and the pastor who was leading the service was no different. Haitians are some of the most committed Christians i have ever seen and it blew us all away to see them worship a God who seems to have forgotten them. That proved to be absolutely false once inside the church building where God was as present as could be for us and for the Haitians alike. We all are truly blessed to be in Haiti and have much to learn from these people about what it means to be truly dependent on God and trust that he will take care of all of our needs. -Andrew C.

This morning the service at Port-au-Prince Fellowship was amazing! We were in a full building with fans going and the hot air wasn't a factor. We sang five to six worship songs to begin the service and these were some of the most heartfelt songs sung, not necessarily the words but from the hearts that were singing. The pastor at this church was one of the most enthusiastic lovers of Christ I have met. As he prayed and praised God he expressed tears of joy and thankfulness for our God.

During the time for the offering the pastor said that they give 40% of their income to missions, and not just in Haiti, he mentioned they support people in the Middle East. It was an amazing act of love that people here would be willing to give money to others when they are one of the poorest nations in the world. Haiti may be poor in worldly possessions but they are rich in spirit. --David J. Weller
