It is Saturday and we have almost completed our first week.
Work has in some cases been started and some completed, shelves are ready to be put up in the bathroom, bedroom, lights have been installed, clothesline put up, school has been taught, meals prepared, etc…we have been busy.
But that is not where my thoughts take me this morning.

When we see how much Kris and Cory have accomplished on their home, we are amazed. The house is truly now their home. There are still many things that need to be completed, but the house is a safe, secure, wonderful place. The mission at Delice has begun!
[Kris here-so very thankful for the help with house projects and getting the hoop house up. By helping us do what we can't do or jobs that stress us out to do or even think about, the team is helping us have the energy and time to minister and work in our areas of strength. ]
What I have been pondering is the potential for the Lord’s kingdom in this place. The presence of voodoo worship is very evident here.
There are a few small churches, and at least one with over 300 attending.
There are many, many people who need to be touched by God’s love.
When Kris, Cory and Fritzlin return from their next trip to the states…they will begin traveling to the remote villages in these mountains.
They will go and share information on health, gardening and the good news. It is almost like they are early pioneers going into areas untouched by the modern world.
And every one of the people in these villages, in these mountains is so precious to our Lord.
We, in our lives, are so used to having availability of the scriptures, Christian music, TV, churches…I think we forget or can’t even know what life without our Lord in it is like.
A quote that I learned years ago comes to mind…”Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.”
In this place is a huge opportunity for all of us to become involved in reaching people for the kingdom.
Our children are in need of faith promise support, financial support, prayer support…the battle is real.

There is so much that is beautiful here, I wish everyone who reads these words could have the privilege of coming and seeing.
But for most of you, these words will have to suffice. May God bless this place.
