Day 23 of our Haiti Adventure!
Fellow Adventurers,
We hope this update finds you doing well in your daily adventure with God. We are thriving down here in Haiti and looking forward to Pam and another mission team coming to join us tomorrow. They will do outreach in the schools and community, utilizing soccer matches as a rallying point to attract people. They are bringing over a dozen suitcases filled with soccer balls to give away! After the matches they will share messages from the Bible with the children who play and do other service and outreach as well. It should be a lot of fun and a great chance to meet some people in the community we don't know.
Do you remember that scene in various movies and books when missionaries or other westerners enter a village in some third-world country, and the natives think they are gods and carry them around on some throne? That happened to Lynn today...well, sort of. We were invited to visit a home in the mountains and have lunch with a family. So a few guys, including Cory, had to carry Lynn on her wheelchair up the mountain. It was quite the hike, and coming down was maybe even harder than going up. It made for some great laughs, a few tears from the kids, and unforgetable memories.
The hospitality of the people here is amazing. We are really spoiled any time we visit someone's house. They gave us an amazing meal and a desert of some amazing fruit juice, which we had been craving. The kids ate like wolves, and then we all went home and collapsed on the bed. It was quite the day.
Later on today or tomorrow I plan to go with Patchouko, the main leader of our ministry here, and the two of us will pray for another young woman with demon possession, so if you are reading this please lift up a little prayer for our safety. We aren't sure what to expect at this point, so we'll just go there and check it out. We may have to return many times, but we'll go with high hopes that God will change this little girl's life through the power of Jesus.
It may be difficult to update the blog when the team is here due to being extra busy, but please check back soon and continue to remember us in your prayers! We hope everyone's furnace is running properly back home...and we hope your Christmas season is off to a great start.
God Bless,
The Grimm Adventurers
Wow! That's pretty amazing that they were able to carry Lynn and her wheelchair up the mountain (no offense, Lynn, but I've been up that mountain). How far did you go? Is the girl with demon-possession a relative of Rosemonde or a new family now? Would like to hear more about her after your visit. Keep us all updated. Praying for you as always....Ronna
