My heart will be reunited with the land that I love this July!
Tears fell from my eyes as I boarded a plane and left the country I had come to love. The deep love in my heart for the Haitian people was overwhelming and to leave left my heart broken. I knew that I had not finished the work that God called me to in that land. I had lived with these people, worked along side them, struggled when they struggled, cried when they cried, laughed with them, prayed with them, and suddenly found my heart bound to theirs. How could I have known on that day all that God had planned for my life. He sent me to the people of Africa where I learned and grew as I served there. I felt compassion and love for the people of Africa, but my heart remained in Haiti. When my time in Africa was over, I headed back to the states to begin my education at the Nursing College to prepare for the work that God has called me to.
In ways I could have never imagined, God provided for me! Through a Dr Pepper scholarship all my schooling will be paid for. This is a huge blessing that I am still in awe of. God has shown me over and over that he is my provider and will supply all my needs. There are more blessings that God has added to my life...but that's for another post.
I am now halfway through my nursing education and heading into a summer break. I will be busy with a summer job and 2 classes, but God has provided a great opportunity for me to return to Haiti in July with All Nations Soccer. It has now been 15 long months since I left Haiti and I am so pleased that the Lord sees it fitting for me to return again to my future home.
With the team from All Nations Soccer we will be using soccer as a ministry tool to connect with children and youth to share the gospel. We will also be doing gospel crusades, tent city evangelism conferences, and work at orphanages. My heart fills with joy knowing I will be returning to share God's love and his salvation with these people.
As I said before God has provided for my education and I know that he will provide for me as he leads me to go to Haiti in July. Please contact me if you are interested in partnering with me prayerfully or financially. I will be needing and greatly appreciating both.
It is my desire to live out Isaiah 58, and by God's goodness he has lead me in this path. His name be praised!!
