We are one!by Shelby Hardison | July 8, 2016 11:53 AM
We may speak different languages and live with different "normals", but as we hear Pastor Joas's heart for his church and community we are reminded we are here with one joined heart to share the Gospel of the one true God.
With Many Handsby Shelby Hardison | July 8, 2016 12:00 PM
We are partnering alongside Pastor Joas to help him do some construction on his church. Today, we sifted sand, passed water buckets, played with kids, and dug out the area for the new stage! There is much to be done, but with many willing hands and gracious hearts what seemed impossible for this church is now becoming reality!

We spent a good hour and a half waiting for the kids to come but in the blink of an eye we had a good amount that showed up. We had a great time singing with and reminding them that God is bigger by the story of David and Goliath.

Now we can't lose them! by Shelby Hardison | July 9, 2016 12:55 PM
Yesterday, we couldn't find kids at the beginning of children's ministry, but today we can't lose them! We went to the church to do construction this morning and were surprised to be joined by tons of the community kids. Thankfully we had some string in our backpacks and excitement in our hearts to do ministry anywhere, so we danced and made bracelets!

All Creatures Here Belowby Shelby Hardison | July 10, 2016 11:21 AM
Today we had the chance to share two songs in front of the church and were so grateful to see a glimpse of heaven as we sang the doxology in different languages but together as one family. Jezi Bon!

Last night!by Shelby Hardison | July 13, 2016 11:01 AM
Our last night here in Haiti was so much fun!! We were greeted in Gressier by a huge rain storm which made an awesome natural slip n slide for us! Then, to top it off we had icecream! Now, we have made it to the airport and will be on our way soon!
