A reminder of how all God's children can be so joyful..this young girl has been using chalk to color near the well. We just loved her smile

Wednesday, June 29th
Today is our third and last day of Vacation Bible School. It is hard to believe that in a shade over 48 hours, we will depart from the nation of Haiti and return to our homes in the Greensboro/High Point, NC area.   This trip has taught our team about patience. Not a day has passed that we have not had to drive 2 hours or more to our destination, but now, the rides have become a time of reflection and thankfulness that our driver navigates the traffic safely.
Our VBS program included making salvation necklaces and prayer journals with the kids. We also had the younger children to draw pictures with chalk. The children learned the story about how Jesus died on the cross and rose again.  We sang and danced up a cloud of dust in the Valley of Hope Church. 
We completed the day with a wonderful meal from Pastor Maxeau’s wife and had a time of devotions and fellowship as a team.   We started to discuss our re-entry into American and the joy of serving alongside of Pastor Maxeau and his congregation.
