Haitian Worship!

Yesterday we went to a city-wide worship and prayer gathering here in St. Marc and it completely blew me away... I can tell you that I have never heard thousands of people singing so loud and dancing with so much joy ever. Not  at a rock-concert or Christian music festival or any church service... Thousands of people gathered again for 3 days after last week's nationwide fasting and praying to praise God and lift Him up in this city. To Caribbean beats they all shouted, danced and lifted their hands. There was so much joy there, the true real joy that can only come from the one true God. God is onto something in Haiti, they have all been woken up after this devastating earth-quake and it seems to me that God is turning their mourning into dancing!

We are further along in the process of making tent-communites, we are scouting out land, working on how to arrange the cities in the best, most practical way that will also promote community. These cities will most likely be adopted by various bases and churches around the world. Please pray about your part in this and also pray that all this will come together sooner rather than later.

One cool thing that happened in Port Au Prince: One of the staff from here whom has been helping down there was handed 3 water-filters that makes 5 gallons of fresh water per minute. These usually cost $10 000 each, but as he was given them, they asked him how many more we would need. This is a huge need in Haiti, as only 43% have access to safe drinking water... Now we are able to use these in the future refugee tent- communities! God is providing in so many ways!

Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! The two of us left, Andrew(my husband) and myself are doing well, we have not been sick yet which is amazing as there has been some gnarly virus going around. Pray that it will stay that way:)
