Let It Rain...

If I could only pick one word to describe what it is like to live in Haiti, I would pick...Raw! There is no fluff, no warm fuzzy stuff to entertain you. Most people are in survival mode from one day to the next. That includes American's as well as Haitian's. We all live life up close and personal, some more raw than others. Most parts of life here we will never understand. So when ever we have a chance to get away to experience the refreshing of God, we sneak away and take advantage of worship and prayer.
Brenden and Janell come for the week from Georgia to do the youth retreat and spend time with Ted and Lisa. The retreat was over and they would be leaving in a few days so they wanted to do worship with the kids. As we sat in the coolness of the afternoon and the music filled the air, Brenden began to sing "Let It Rain". It was like the Lord reached down to meet us. He opened the heaven's and breathed life back into us. Sure enough, the rain began to fall.
As we sang I was watching the different kids laughing and singing. No fake worship with this kid...he needed the Lord as much as we did! I am pretty sure he found him right here in the middle of Haiti that afternoon.
