Day 4 in Hati

Today was a very enjoyable day for me. Saturday morning around 100 pastor's and church leaders gathered at the church that lies within the mission for Pastoral Training. They had gathered here this day in hopes of learning something from an American pastor, but in reality this American Pastor learned something from them. Their Spirit was so true and humble, they hung on every word and after a little over two hours of teaching and questions and answers they were offered lunch, but they chose to postpone lunch so they could recieve more of the Word of God. Their spiritual hunger was greater than their physical hunger. Back home I have people complain because we are not out of church on Sunday's when everyone else is. And these men and women didn't want Pastor Larrie Pike and myself to stop. We may have more money, food and lands in America, but we sure are poor compared to the Hatian's spirit of worship and hunger for God's word.

After the traning we took a ride to a orphanage that Lifeline feeds. This was one of the saddest sights that we have witnessed. To see all those children that has been left in this cruel world all alone, no family to speak of. They seemed to be very ecited to see us. Maybe it was candy we brought or the love and attention that they knew we were going to give them but very quickly we became very popular and each of us easily found us a new friend.

Each of us that went to this orphanage left there with a change life. These boys and girls have no one to depend on in this world except the Pastor that runs this orphanage, he is there only hope of survival. I pray that he never grows weary in well doing but will continue on dreading the path that God has placed him one and continues to minister to these children. But without the food support of Children's International Lifeline his job would be 4 times as hard. God bless all of you that support this ministry because when you do you are feeding these children. God Bless.
