I have returned home after a wonderful youth retreat in Haiti. Below are some words to describe what was there.
Haiti 2012
Heat
Mud huts
Rice patties
Mosquitoes
Tents
2 showers
2 toilets
150 teens
Friends
Smiles
Laughter
Singing
God
God is awesome.
Well, this might be my last post before heading to Haiti on a mission trip. I am going to help with a teen retreat. As usual, I face the trip with a mixture of excitement, fear and trepidation. I am anxious. What if I don’t have enough material? What if I don’t have the right material? I don’t have the energy. I don’t have the right personality. I am not prepared. I can’t do this.
So I ask for your prayers. I ask that you pray for the youth of Haiti. Pray that God will touch their hearts. Pray that God will change their lives. Pray that God will do a mighty work. Pray that I will not get in the way.
That is my prayer. If i can but go to Haiti and see God at work, i will be blessed. If He, in some small way, uses me in that work, i will be greatly blessed. He is in charge. It is His work. And when i get back in a little over a week from now, i will tell you some great stories of what HE did while i was in Haiti.
