Day 8: October 8, 2010
Today is our last day in Haiti. The team is tired and recognizes the day as being bittersweet. We have seen so many things, felt so many emotions, and have each experienced God is many different ways. We look forward to going home, but feel that our hearts could stay & serve for another few days. We will leave Habitation Hatt with much more than memories. We will live with the picture of a broken country permanently engrained in our hearts.
Our team is no longer a team. We are a family. We love each other as if we have been together our entire lifetime. We trust each other with our finest belongings and our rawest sentiments. We depend on each other to love us through difficult experiences. And we share an experience that changed all of our lives. Together forever in Christ.
Although the ground in Haiti is shattered, the people here remain hopeful. The broken structures may not ever be repaired, but the joy brought to Haiti from the missionaries that come, heals many broken hearts.
On our way to the airport, we passed a billboard with a picture of Jesus and a kreole statement beside His picture. This was the most fitting way to leave Haiti in our hindsite. The saying was: “ Jezi se embwa ou” Translation? Jesus is our hope.
Amen.
