haiti update

hey guys, just a real quick update...only have a second. the experience here is absolutely amazing (as if i would say any different right?). actually up to this point it's been a struggle dealing with how things have been going and how stuff is done. however just today we've had this huge breakthrough with experiences surrounding people and worship. tonight we sat in this worship service. the beginning of the service was a little awkward since there were 25 strange "blanc" (white) people coming in and not to mention the language barrier. however they started to sing "lord i life your name on high" in english and things broke loose. now i know you're sayign "gee, that song is so old" but for some reason it just came to life. so often i have this misconstrued understading that "well here we go, we're gunna take jesus to haiti..." ha. how rediculous. as if we can do any good on our own....

tonight was simply a reminder and huge awakening experience to the fact that (1) um jesus pretty much created haiti first and so HE'S ALREADY HERE and (2) these people we ran into night worship the same God that we attempt to worship in our homes and churches. tonight we experienced a beautiful vision of what worship truly looks like -- across cultural boundaries, across language barriers, despite color: all the same God, all the same love, all the same worship...unbelievable!
