Haiti Mission

Another gift from my brother, brought back from Haiti

Can a little sister be proud of her big brother? Absolutely! Jason and the group from his church leave early in the morning for Haiti. When a loved one goes to a third world country, you get to see, through them, the perspective of the people there. The selflessness of the group going is inspiring. Not everyone can go on mission trips, of course, but right here, how can I do better to spread God's love in a way that impacts lives?

It grips me each time I see my brother's pictures and hear the stories about attending church there. They live in such poverty and yet captured in the pictures are faces of joy that comes from knowing God. They sing and dance in church as if there is a heavenly audience in attendance (I am sure there is). While many of us probably catch ourselves planning the rest of the day in our heads during a sermon, the churches in Haiti keep on praising God, for 3 hours. In a small building crowded with people. With no A/C. In the heat and humidity of the tropics.

Cultures are different across the globe, but the perspective of a mission trip brings to light priorities in life. It is probably pretty obvious to others what your priorities are. What do they see?
