Day 4


I have a correction to make. Yesterday we went to a school not an orphanage. We were told we were going to an orphanage initially but when we arrived it was a school.  We went there again today and saw some of the older kids at the school. The ages ranged from about 8-14.  We saw about a total of 80 children today.  They mostly complained of ringworm of their scalp, stomach pain and headaches.  The older children are starting to learn English and they were very proud to walk up and say "Hello, how are you?"  
After the clinic we headed back to MOH and spent some time bagging up vitamins to hand out tomorrow.

Waiting to see us
The kids loved giving "high-fives" 
We worshiped tonight in the Church of Hope after dinner.  It was amazing.  They were mainly singing praise songs.  They would post the words in English on a screen so we could sing along.  Then all the sudden they all started singing " Bless The Lord oh my soul, oh my soul, worship His holy name..."   It was beautiful. We kept singing louder and louder.  Just when I thought I couldn't sing and praise any louder they put up on the screen Psalms 100:1 " Make a joyful noise until The Lord". It was like rolling thunder hearing all the voices singing in unison at the top of their lungs.  After this they called us up front to the stage and prayed over all of our MOH group. They praises The Lord for sending us, for us obeying and for our service. They prayed for our health and protection.  They thanked us for serving their people. The love I felt tonight was amazing. I came here wanting to share God's love with the Haitian people but here they are showering ME with God's love. People, Jesus is ALIVE in Haiti! " Sing like never before, oh my soul, I worship His holy name!"
