Just put up a slideshow of pictures that Rachael took while the Anthem team was down in Haiti for a week. The team took a trip up to a mountain to spend time with and minister to a village that has not receive much contact since the earthquake. I heard stories from the team that they had church every night, and it was powerful. They'd wake up at 5am and hear villagers playing drums and worshiping, what a beautiful way to wake up, the sound of praise. I heard that in times of worship, with the Haitians, language barriers did not exist, Haitians and Americans sang out in their prayer language, and caught glimpses of how worship would be in Heaven, as all join in one sound.
Found out that the Foursquare Church located just down the road from Base Camp, was finally torn down. It had taken some pretty bad damage from the earthquake, actually offsetting the roof from the building, so as you can see in the pictures they have brought it down. They have a new metal structure on the way to the church where they will be able to assemble it within a couple weeks. The only hang up is actually getting it, because with the way things are in Haiti, shipments and supplies have a hard time getting where they need to be.
Please be praying for the church and their new building, that somehow God can continue to expand His Kingdom without the need of a perfect place for people to gather under a roof. Also, be lifting up Rachael as she is getting to know John and Debbie Booker more and wants to continue to bless them and help serve them more as she continues to be open and passionate with them. I will be leaving Tuesday to drive to Portland and then fly out Wednesday, so be praying for safe travels and smooth times in my connections and through customs.
In His Love,
Jonathan
