A team from Mt. Pleasant and Terry Bailey from the Mt. Laurel Churches of God arrived. These churches have been instrumental in organizing the Haiti Loving Hearts school sponsorship program. During this trip they visited all of the schools and took pictures of each student with an identifying number so that accurate records can be kept. Many children and families have been blessed by the generous financial gifts and the outpouring of Christian love. The team also worked on the building to house offices for the Haitian conference. They painted the new wall just inside the entrance to the compound and they repainted part of the discipleship training center. It was a blessing to travel with part of the Mt. Pleasant team and members of Just Cause into the prison at Arcahaie. Thaddeus McKee gave a message from Psalm 139: 1-4, 7-10 O Lord you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there; if I make my bed in the depths you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. The message touched the hearts of the prisoners and the visitors. We sang with them, then distributed drinks and cookies and had prayer with the men in each cell. It’s inspiring to see how God is working through the lives of these young men.
