Today I was priveleged to go to Lansing to take part in Haiti Day! There is a large community of Haitian people living and working in Lansing. They send most of their earned money down to Haiti to support family members still living there. Most of these folks have family who were impacted by the recent hurricanes. There were 25 of us who went together from our church. Sydney and Haleigh were with me. There was lots of Haitian food
. #1 show some of our women eating with some of the Haitian women. #2 Sydney and Haleigh are holding a small Haitian flag between them. These were on each table as a center piece. #3 is a photo of three darling little girls. They loved having their picture taken. #4 The Haitian people were polite and let their guests go first. #5 Sydney and Haleigh listening intently to two Haitian ladies conversing in Creole. #6 is the Pastor Serge's wife and son. #7 is a young man who loves to sing! #8 is of the Haitians going through the food line. Lord, You love the Haitian people just as much as You love the American people. You created them. Please help them. They desperately need Your help, the ones living in Lansing and especially the ones living in Haiti. It was bad enough before the hurricanes and now it's even worse. Please help them. Most of all, help them to hear and believe in You. Thank You for allowing me this privilege today.
