Anxious, excited, and nervous. 6 months of training for Haiti suddenly felt like 6 seconds. God, I am so not worthy of doing work like this for your kingdom… help me and give me strength. After repeating these words a billion times in my head, I felt a sudden peace come over me, the kind of peace that literally surpassed all of my understanding. Day 1 of being in Haiti felt long, very long… 14 hours of no sleep, no showering, no air conditioning, no sushi, and no wifi!!!
First thing on the schedule was to go in the village and pray over some of the people and their families. I felt horrible. Why wasn’t I able to speak up, “God make me bold!” While praying for a family, I had my eye on another house across from us. “Can we go there next?” “yes.” This was my moment, the moment God answered me and made me brave… BOLD. I shared my testimony to an older woman and asked her if she would want to accept Jesus into her heart and next thing I knew, she was on her knees and repeated the prayer of salvation after me. I began to pray for her… “God capture her heart, show her your love. Use her, renew her, restore her.”
After that moment on, I was BOLD. I wanted to pray over ALL of Haiti, one person at a time. Today I saw people through Your eyes, I set the stage for You. Me, a negative nothing human did something for you, my king over all the earth. I look forward to what these next days hold for me. I know that You will go before me, set my path straight and lead me. I love you and I thank you. Acts 4:31 “… and they continued to speak the word of God with BOLDNESS.”
