Bonswa from Carrefour

Today was our first full day in Carrefour. The day started off with attending Pastor Pierre's church with our wonderful Haitian friends! The group was introduced & Ryan & Tori were announced as officially being Haitian. We worshipped & praised the Lord together. After church we came back to the house & rested before heading out to visit the community. We met with Pastor Pierre at the church to begin our prayer walk, passing out fliers, & seeking out the needs in the community. Pastor Pierre had a few houses he wanted us to stop at specifically to inform people about the clinic. There was a 15 year old girl with untreated club foot, a beautiful little girl with Down syndrome, a young girl with breathing problems, and an older lady that has cancer. As a group we walked down by the river to the shack community & even got to stop by the house Tori & the Gate Church built in 2012. There is a sweet mother & her baby living in the house now. We were able to visit & pray with lots of different families. Along the way we picked up several little friends who were interested in our watches & what we had in our back packs. It was a great day being able to go out into the community & meet new faces, plus spread the word about the clinic & the church. Tonight we will be going to church again where there will be lots of singing & dancing! We should all be ready for a good nights rest after that.
