A
big part of our mission work is feeding the poor in the more destitute
mountain regions of Haiti. For the past twenty or so years, we have
concentrated on the mountains of Au Cadet. The area is very dry and
destitute. Here you see the people gathering in a dried up river
bed to receive a portion of rice and beans
which we prepare at our orphanages |
| Together
with the older children
from our orphanage and the haitian men and women with us, we help
the people sit down, learn a
Bible scripture for the day and sing and pray together. After this
comes the job of distributing the food orderly and urgently so that
everyone gets their portion for the day. This particular
gathering grows to over 2,000 people at one sitting.
Whenever we have left overs, we feed a few smaller groups along the
road. And as the sun sets, we cheerfully sing as we drive all the way home!
