Today we hit the road again. John, one of the G.O. Missionaries and I pulled out of the neighborhood with old suitcases filled with supplies. We stopped and picked up Romano (far right above) who would be serving as my translator, and away we went on the road to DaJabon. After a long, dusty and hot ride across some bumpy roasd past rice fields, we arrived in DaJabon in time for market day. DaJabon is a Dominican town on the border of Haiti. Many Haitians cross the border to trade on certain days so the town was full of people hawking their wares - most used, but some new. I learne new Creole phrase quickly: "Non, Merci." (No thanks!)
G.O. Ministries works with several Haitian pastors and churches in Haiti and the pastors of these churches traveled to DaJabon to attend this training. They traveled 5-7 hours each. I was humbled to spend this time with these pastors. Their desire to learn, their questions, their discussions all humbled my heart. I look forward to tomorrow when we'll dig into more of the word, talking mainly about Biblical Foundations of Worship.
Keep praying! Things are going well but Satan would love to distract us and discourage us. Pray for these pastors and their congregations as well.
Thanking God tonight for many things....
- new friends
- being able to share my story and how God has worked in my life
- YOU, the wonderful prayer warriors and friends who are lifting us up to God.
So for now, Buenas Noches and Dios te Bendiga! (Good Night and God Bless You!)
