Worship in Haiti

Sunday was a great day of worship for us in Haiti. We went to on church was in a part of Port Au Prince called Citi Solei where I was asked to preach and I chose to speak on a passage from Exodus where the children of Israel were complaining about the how God had led them into the wilderness to die. The theme was on how we need to trust God when it is time to move forward and letting fear take over. I heard several amens from the church so they must have agreed with something I had to say. Sorry I do not have any pictures or video from the first worship. I was on the platform and did not have my camera. There was great singing and wonderful fellowship at the church. The children sang and then a women's choir sang and danced two songs.
The second church we attended was also in Citi Solei. A place with lots of gangs and violence. Pastor Guy is the founding pastor and he is on the CONASPEH Board.

At the second church they were celebrating an anniversary. We had the opportunity to hear great music in both churches. At the last Church they sent some meals with us of Hatian food of beans and rice, chicken, goat, slaw, fried plantain and beet salad (and no I did not eat the beet salad). Lots of great food and good fellowship.
We returned to Wall in time for a swim and we had beans and rice and goat for dinner. Great Hatian  food. A great day.
