He's got the whole world in His hands

On the edge of town lies a little community of people that had lost their homes in the earthquake of 2010. This new community of homes completed in 2012, is where we left part of our hearts in 2011. Since we moved to Haiti we have visited, had kids classes and have had a vision to do a VBS here. We recently were privileged to accomplish this. We set up tents in the little community and invited the children here, and from an orphanage nearby to come and participate. This was a great privilege for these kids, and they all came bathed and dressed in their best to attend this event.

"Bienvenue" welcome in French


We asked some of our friends from Fond Parisien to come and help translate.

Here Nerlange and Nate go over his lesson for the day

Wismith was our overall translator, crowd controller and all other that came in handy from a guy that understands the culture. From what we thought may have been a somewhat chaotic event, he reassured us that it went very well!

Everyone enjoyed participating in praise and worship first thing. 

And, they all seemed fascinated in skits were acted out each day to go along with the Bible lesson.

Aaron directed the skit to go along with Wismith as he read the Creole Bible lesson. Daisy and girls are throwing a party for the prodigal son (Rylan) that came home and the happy father (Austin) stands by.

These kids love to color! They would consider it a privilege, where we may just get bored with it. 

The older kids did a word search paper on the day of our "Lost Sheep, Lost Coin" lesson

They really enjoyed the craft time and it took all of us to keep things going smoothly. 

These little dears are very precious to me....they always want to be holding on our hands. They love to be shown love in this way!

We had a large group, about 100-120 everyday. 

This guy is showing off his sheep craft. 

They enjoyed learning a couple english songs thru the week.

Red, Yellow, Black and White; they all are precious in His sight

These people need love, they need hope, they are no different than any of us. They were just put in a whole other world, a life of much more hardship than any of us will ever know. But they have a heavenly Father that loves them so much! Pray with us that they took something they learned from VBS, that helps them feel and understand His love more.
