Grace Village - what a beautiful sanctuary for these sweet little ones. The village sits amongst a mountain region, overlooking the ocean in the distance. It has the appearance of a hill city in Tuscany; until the gate is opened and one is surrounded by the most beautiful, sweet children, blessed by all Grace Village has to offer. They are a community amongst themselves. The older children are often seen carrying a little one in their arms, easily sharing toys and treasures they find. Today we were assigned the task of leading the children of Grace Village in a faith study. Our team chose to use Mark 9:35, the verse declaring that "whoever wants to be first must take the last place and be the servant of everyone else". Our activities included making bracelets, playing with dominoes and washing the kids' feet...followed by outfitting each one with a new pair of shoes. I was struck by how the children of Grace Village ministered right back to us. One little girl, after having her own feet washed, bent down and took our team leader's shoes off and proceeded to wash her feet! Amazing.
These little ones are so very blessed to have this beautiful sanctuary - and their Papa Jeff - to surround them with faith, hope and love; and our EP team has been blessed to be a small part of this wonderful ministry.
With love from Haiti, Kris
