The Sabbathby Brittni Loar | July 13, 2014 7:58 PM
We awoke refreshed and renewed to begin our first day in Haiti. Since it's Sunday, we attended the church we will be partnering with this week. The church is a short walk down the road so while we were walking, we were greeted with beautiful Haitian smiles! We experienced church like we've never experienced it before. Haitians are so passionate about what God is doing! We saw the truth behind God being the God of the universe, not just America.
Returning from church, we took the Sabbath day seriously and took time to rest. It's important for us to see rest as a precious gift the Lord gave us to teach us to lean completely on Him for strength. Some of us even gathered around a television to watch the last world cup game with some people from the community.
The day ended with supper and a time of worship. We are excited to begin our first work day tomorrow! Be in prayer for relationships to be built.
