Hi, it’s Emily. Today after breakfast we went to Deux Mains,
a fashion organization whose purpose is to create jobs. They make shoes and
bags out of upcycled tires. In August they moved into a new factory and hired
12 new employees.
After touring that facility, we went to Grace Village and
toured there too. We got to learn how their school works and walk through their
feeding facility.
Then, finally, we went to Dios, an orphanage for special
needs children. There we played with bubbles, played soccer, jumped rope, and
took pictures of the children and taped them on foam crosses. Then we sang with
the kids and our driver, Jonas, helped us sing some songs in Creole. We had so
much fun worshipping with the kids and it was time to leave way too soon. After
a quick tour of the houses, we left and returned to the guest house. After
dinner tonight, all three teams gathered for a group worship session and
Brother Jacob played the guitar and we all sang some songs. That was a great
end to a great day.
God's love was displayed everywhere today-through the job creation at Deux Mains, the support and hope at Grace Village, and the joy and happiness of the children and Dios. I pray that God continues to show His love for us throughout the remainder of the week and keeps us safe during the rest of our activities.
