Ms. Gale, Ms. Cookie, Ms. Cheryl and Mr. Vernon had an exciting and power-packed week serving at the Mission of Grace in Carries, Haiti May 14-21, 2021. This team hit the ground running and never let up. We attended a birthday party at the orphanage just after arriving on Friday. On Saturday morning we prepped 50 bags of groceries and handed them out later that day (thanks JJS Missions supporters for your donations to our feeding project). We spent the remainder of Saturday pouring into the kids. After church service on Sunday (Mr. Vernon was asked to give a word) we attended another birthday celebration, this time for the older kids. Monday and Tuesday we worked hard sanding and painting some benches and tables then we did arts and crafts with the young people. A few of the older kids came over for a swim Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday we had the opportunity to visit the school, the clinic, and rounded out our day at the grandma house before visiting the orphanage one last time to say goodbye. We also celebrated Haiti’s Flag Day with face-painting. Time seemed to go by so very fast but this team really bonded with the kids…the tears shed on our last visit were a testament to that. We can’t wait to do this again.
