Today we got to worship in Creole at Temple Baptiste. This church owns the school Siloe that we have been working on. I am attaching a picture the original church. Now they worship in tents since the earthquake.
Jeanson, prounced Johnson, is our local translator and project coordinator. He lives in the house where we stay. He is kind, gentle and smart. He speaks multiple languages. He also leads in worship at church. He is 25 and teaches at the school. He is wearing the orange shirt with a tie in the picture of the church under the tent. I left my phone during church, so I missed a picture during worship.
Worship was wonderful. They love to sing and every word is sincere. They sang "Showers of Blessings" in Creole. We recognized the tune. It seems surreal that they can be so thankful for "blessings" when we consider our blessings at home to be material things. I wish I could have that type of faith and gratitude. This is one thing I would like to take home from the Haitians.
