God is with us! Trevor Pituck

Today was like no other down here Haiti as we set out for the construction site to work on building the foundation for the house when we soon realized that it would only be four of us working today. Never the less we set out, the four of us, but as we say down here” we’re only as strong as our weakest link” and in my option out of the four of us there is not weakest link, so even with the four of us we were still able to finish our task in a good speed.
By the midafternoon we finished up building the foundation for the day and Maxim invited us to meet his family. At this point I did know what to expect to see because Maxim would often talk about his many brothers and sisters all in one small house and yet as happy as could be. Upon entering the house I noticed at least 15 kids packed into a two room house all sitting together and watching a T.V. Now not all the 15 kids weren’t Maxim’s brothers and sister s but also their friends and family too, this was somewhat surprising to see because often back at home the only time 15 people are in the same house would be during a holiday, and yet this was nothing out of the ordinary for them.
The last event of this amazing day before we were able to start our devotionals was all the children still in the PID compound decided to sing and put on a show for us. The children knew at least 20 gospel songs of the top of their head which I found pretty incredible to see the lord working though children in this way. At the end before the children wore out their voices we handed out candy and popcorn to them to show our appreciation. God works in amazing ways down here and Haiti.
