Sing to Haiti


Today is Sunday.  All over the world it’s Sunday.  The day that God’s children set aside to gather and worship Him together.

Some of us gather with high tech sound systems and soft, cushiony chairs.  And some of us gather on hard benches and concrete floors without air conditioning.

And He loves all of it.  We are His Church. 

Today was our turn to sing in Haiti.  We got to sing and praise our Father with his kids that live down here.  And there was something special about the fact that we were doing that at 9:00 am, knowing that our brothers and sisters in Indiana were doing the same thing at the same time.  And our dear Father gets to hear all of it, all together.  What a joy it must be for Him every Sunday to hear His Church around the world singing to Him, making His name famous. 

Some of the songs this morning were in English, which was really helpful to us white ladies.  And then some of them were in Creole.  But to be honest, it didn’t really make a difference.  Even when we couldn’t sing the words, just knowing that our brothers and sisters around us were lifting up the name of Jesus was enough.  It was such a sweet moment to just listen and praise our Father from our hearts, even when our lips couldn’t say the words. 

After church we went to the beach for some fun, relaxing time as a team.  It was so wonderful and refreshing to see the beautiful side of Haiti on our last day.  I’m so thankful that we got to enjoy God’s amazing creation together.
