Graduation! The school is finished!
38 Haitian students worked very hard to get their certificates.
The graduation was a marvelous celebration. All of them had been able to get a new suit for the occasion and looked stunning.
Our flight back home to Brazil didn’t suffer any problems. The country of Haiti remained peaceful.
Arriving back in Brazil however caused a reverse culture shock. It took a while for us to feel at home again. There were so many experiences, thoughts and memories to process. Not everything had been easy, we had struggles and setbacks, but we were also able to see many victories. And above all: What a privilege to have been able to train such a high motivated group of young Haitians in the area of reaching Children at Risk.
We are so grateful to God for what He has done for us and through us. And we would like to thank all of you who participated in prayer, donation and encouragement! We wish you all God’s richest blessings.
After the graduation, the boys threw off their warm jackets.
To God be the glory. The Lord truly uses the two of you. May He continue to bless you and keep you close to His bosom.
ReplyDeleteWow, praise God, this awesome. Praise God for all that he is doing thru your lives. I will keep you in prayer:)
ReplyDeleteThis blog is an excellent idea. So often we read missionary books, but then never know what happened after. This way your 'lay partners' can stand with you in prayer. By staying updated on your most current projects and prayer requests for obstacles you are facing we can better help you "move those mountains," (the pic of you holding the little Haitian 3-year-old girl who had been parenting her 2-year-old sister is imprinted on my mind. I can't stop thinking about those little kids who must feel so lost and alone.) Thank you Jeannette and Johan for helping as many as you can. The very least I can do is pray.
