Day 2 - Water Trucks

HEY YOU!

Our Team

Today we delivered water to three different locations in Cite Soleil. When we were driving in, we were surrounded by lots of children all around the truck. They put their arms up to be picked up before we ever got our feet on the ground. Children were everywhere. There was one child that I keep thinking about. He was smaller than my two year old son and no mother in sight. He had his feet in what appeared to be sewage that ran through the city. He had puke on his shirt and arms and he looked so sad. I squatted down to talk to him but kids jumped all over me and I almost fell over. I never got to do anything but touch his little arm but I think I will remember him forever. When our kids are sick we take special care of them and love on them extra with popsicles and cartoons and snuggle time. This little guy for whatever reason was alone. This morning I read that God makes everything beautiful in its own time. I pray for that precious baby that God would do something beautiful with his little life. It would be just like my God to take this little forgotten boy and use him to change the nation of Haiti. God never chooses the mighty to do mighty things, he always does the unexpected. I’m dreaming big dreams for him……Nothing is impossible with my God.

The start of the water truck line 

Healing Haiti delivers free, clean water to Cite Soleil 6 days a week. (4 days a week the water is delivered by HH teams). As a team, some of us held the hose, helped direct the buckets & water, help with carry/moving buckets and then some of us played/held children of all ages. 

We had the opportunity to visit Grace Church as well, and tremendous progress has been made. 

God is so good, and His love is so apparent here in Haiti.
