From Atlanta to Port au Prince to Gressier we are now home for the week and excited to start our first full day of ministry tomorrow!

Pastor Evens Sharing His Heart

by Shelby Hardison | June 6, 2016 9:59 AM

This morning, Pastor Evens shared the story of God moving in his life and church and what a beautiful story it is! Dreams are being planted and the mutual desires for congregations firmly planted in Christ are being shared.

Bucket Passing Day 1

by Shelby Hardison | June 6, 2016 10:23 AM

Many blocks, water buckets, concrete mixing and silly dancing made for a fantastic first day of construction!

Down by the River... Ah boom!

by Shelby Hardison | June 6, 2016 10:55 AM

Construction breaks call for games and break out worship sessions!

Youth Ministry Day 1

by Shelby Hardison | June 6, 2016 8:29 PM

We kicked off youth ministry with soccer balls, frisbees and footballs flying followed by Bo and Jeff both sharing messages to challenge and relate to the youth! We are tired, but so grateful for an incredible first day of ministry!

Construction Day 2!

by Shelby Hardison | June 7, 2016 12:38 PM

We are having fun serving alongside the Haitian workers to pour some more floor!

Evangelism

by Shelby Hardison | June 7, 2016 12:45 PM

Today we walked throughout the community building relationships and praying for people! From sick moms to kids wanting the opportunity to get more education we have prayed for God to intercede here and his perfect will to be done.

Youth Ministry Day 2!

by Shelby Hardison | June 7, 2016 9:10 PM

Rain and all, we had a great day playing, sharing, and worshipping with the youth!

Don't drop that bucket!

by Shelby Hardison | June 8, 2016 2:11 PM

Today, we passed more buckets than we have so far this week, but the real challenge was perfecting our bucket throwing skills so that we didn't drop sand all over people's shoes!

Breathtaking Views

by Shelby Hardison | June 8, 2016 10:38 PM

Some of our group had the opportunity to slow down a little and take in some of the breathtaking views God has blessed Haiti with as we walked to visit Respire's school.

Deeper than just English class

by Shelby Hardison | June 8, 2016 11:08 PM

At respire we planned on helping tutor and practice some English with the students, but we had no idea the depths that their questions would reach. We were blown away by how perfectly God opened doors for us to answer and discuss hard topics that these students had been questioning about faith and firm truths only revealed through the word of God.

Seeing the sights

by Shelby Hardison | June 9, 2016 12:01 PM

This morning we started our rec day traveling through the city to a beautiful lookout called Boutilier!

We found starfish!!!

by Shelby Hardison | June 9, 2016 5:35 PM

After sightseeing we continued our rec day with a swim at the beach! We are so thankful for a day to enjoy ministry through sharing in the God-given beauty of Haiti!

Teacher for life

by Shelby Hardison | June 10, 2016 1:13 PM

Pete had fun using his shop teaching experience to measure and cut glass today!

Happy Birthday Adam!

by Shelby Hardison | June 10, 2016 7:37 PM

Definitely a memorable celebration going on here! A great day of ministry, cake eaten with fingers, and an intense game of mafia! Yay!!! Adam is so appreciated!

All in

by Shelby Hardison | June 11, 2016 10:13 PM

As our week comes to a close our goal is to be all in. From our construction project in Haiti all the way back to work in Georgia, Lord, we give you all of us that your glory may be lifted high. Some hard see ya laters happened today, but we are so excited to be leaving our brothers and sisters knowing they will further the Kingdom in this community.
