HAITI DAY TWO

Greetings from Haiti!  Today was an incredible day of community, connecting and constructing!  The RG team started the day in Onaville, Haiti, where we were greeted and inspired by Pastor Noel, a man who truly lives to serve and be the hands and feet of Jesus! He shared with the team the history of the Haitian people and the deep rooting in voodoo and satanic practice that is prevalent in this country .  On the very foundation on which we stood and worked, a  man who had been possessed by satan converted to Jesus Christ and cast out his demons.  Pastor Noel reminded all of us that Jesus is the Lord and Savior and there is NO ROOM for satan in His house.

We later toured the mountainside and visited and prayed with the Onaville natives. It was incredibly moving to see the Holy Spirit working through them.....and the smiles and hugs were fabulous gifts as well!

The brunt of the day was spent building roof trusses and moving thousands of pounds of gravel and rock to build the foundation of what will be a food depot in the near days to come.  The work was incredibly challenging, but that only made it more rewarding.  As a team, we made significant headway on the project and look forward to tomorrow's progress.

We did a prayer walk today - walking around Onaville talking to and praying with the families that lived in houses just like the one above
