Found this gem in my email this morning. It is from Pastor Gary, a good Haitian friend who pastors the church where we served last year for their annual crusade. As this crusade is coming around again, Pastor Gary was reminded of
how our trip ended last year. Here are his poignant words:
Dear friends and Family in Christ,
As we approach November, the
period of our annual crusade, the church and I can't prevent our self to
think about you and keep reminding of your love, kindness and your service
for the Lord among us.
Since this regrettable event, I feel so
guilty and never find strength to write you but you were constantly and
regularly in our prayers. The Sunday morning that follows the week
of the crusade, we had a thanksgiving service for the crusade and was
praying for you for physical and emotional healing. It was with tears
that many people interceded for you.
We know this experience leaves a bitter taste about Haiti and our community especially. We are desperately sorry. If
you can't come in Haiti again, know we will keep preciously in our mind
the time we had shared in His service together.
We will not forget your music Joel Larison.
We can't forget the
Leadership Camp at Villa Mamika with you Jason Lee.
Your leadership and
sacrificial devotion to your team Jason Braun(that's a servant & a
man).
Your courage Bruce Donaldson( you are in our prayer).
Your life
changing football team Curtis Stout.
Your encouragement (it was amazing to see a smile
on your face the morning after the tragedy. I see it again while I
write this) very dear pastor Morgan Young.
Thanks to pastor Mark Malin
who allows you to come each time.
And to all of you who had helped in
a kids Camp, build the stage for crusade or had involved in any other
ministry at Double Harvest, we say two words that come deeply from our
heart:
Thank You and we love you.
Keep doing the good work. If we don't meet again here, nothing can prevent our sure appointment in heaven with each
other and the Lord Jesus where we will rest eternally from our works.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jean Garry Auguste
