Saturday morning, it was still raining. Despite 3 days of solid rain, Sarah boldly declared, "The rain is going to stop so we can get out and experience Cap Haitien on our last morning here." Sure enough, it did. So, we were treated to a beautiful morning to tour downtown Cap Haitien, its streets flooded with rainwater and residents going to the Saturday market. It was loud and busy and full of life. It was also so very different than life in the US, with live chickens, piles of shoes, dried fish with the heads still intact, and piles of various grains, vegetables, and spices all for sale and exposed to the elements in the open air market. This is life in Haiti.
As we depart from Haiti this time, our hearts are full, and inspired, and at peace. We got to be a part of supporting the creation of a therapists network in Northern Haiti being launched through the attendees of our continuing ed conference this week. It is being spearheaded by the local clinicians themselves, to support each other, to share information and resources, and to plan and sponsor continuing education in the future for all of them. It's a chance to start growing the profession in Haiti. That's huge, and humbling.
We also had the special chance to come alongside the longstanding and respected ministry of Bethesda Clinic to support the addition of therapy services to their already excellent care. It will be one more way to reach people with the truth that Christ alone is the only true healer of the heart. And as Jesus taught in John chapter 5, the healing at this Bethesda is not just for the few, but it's available to everyone who calls upon His name.

He frees and rescues all who belong to Him. To God be all praise and glory!
