Day Two for Mike and Bonnie and the Holiday Hill and Wood Run Mission Teams in Bercy, Haiti
Got a late start on projects today as we had to go to Port Au Prince to register with Samaritan’s Purse. We bought one kit house and loaded it onto the old blue truck. Started construction on it and realized that 40 people were too many for one tiny house. We will finish it tomorrow and have a truck deliver 6 more kit homes tomorrow.
Footings were poured for the block wall surrounding the school.
A morning VBS for the younger children of the orphanage included several games of “duck, duck, goose” and coloring. The younger children do not understand much English, but appreciated the love poured out over them! The older children enjoyed an English lesson with squares of colored construction paper. They also made “Jesus loves me!” bandanas. Both groups sang Jesus loves me together.
Everyone enjoyed playing with the kids and some had a great time interacting with the adult workers as well as the children. We discovered a beehive on the back-side of the building next to our entry door and it was sprayed well and removed. No casualties.
Some in the group decided to walk to the beach less than a quarter mile away. It’s not a beach you would want to swim at, but fun for exploring.
Andris came back again tonight and sang “What a friend we have in Jesus,” “Lord I lift your name on high,” and others. He gave a ten minute lesson, followed by prayer, blessings and more singing. Most of us were downstairs in the midst of the worship and were blessed by it.
