What was I doing in Haiti? Mission trips can be exciting, adventurous, productive and inspiring. I love that kind of trip and many others do as well. But managing a sponsorship program requires a lot of just plain admin work. I need to meet with the leaders of each of our ministry programs and a lot needs to be accomplished within the time I am able to be with them.
On this day, one committee drug a table out to the beach and we had our meeting at the sea side. It was a wonderful reminder of the spectacular beauty of Haiti. Haiti is struggling with profound poverty, the devastation of the earthquake, crime, fraud, filth and drought. It would be difficult to find many places on the planet where daily life is more challenging than Haiti. At the same time, the Lord has blessed this island. There are little pockets of believers who are busy working for the spiritual harvest. It is a privilege and a joy to partner with them.
