Closing out the day

After dinner comes the sunset watching…

And then Jaron led us in “taking a date with Jesus.”  He encouraged us to seek a quiet place for an hour. To bring our Bibles and talk to Jesus. He wanted us to remember what God had done in our hearts, in our time in Haiti. It was fun watching students disperse to the top of buildings, piles of bricks, secluded places on the compound here.

Liz compiled stats from our time in the IDP camp this morning….148 initiated conversations, 68 spiritual conversations (including praying with folks), 58 clear presentations of the gospel story and 4 first-time decisions to follow Christ. Fortunately, one of the staff here at Nehemiah Ministries has connections to a small church nearby who will follow up on these decisions.

Tomorrow, we’re hoping to spend the day in Port au Prince at the CCC Campus Ministry hdqtrs. We’ve planned a day of interaction and teaching on movements with our Haitian colaborers. We want to push hard to the end but folks can’t help but think of “sliding into home.” Thanks for your prayers for the next few days. We’d like to live Haiti–exhausted, but exhilarated by His grace.
