Tim looks back....

As I return to my normal life I am thankful for every moment of my journey to Haiti. My faith has been strengthened by being in the presence of a group of people for whom God is such a central figure in their daily lives.  I have been humbled by the devotion of Pastor Daniel, he, like his name sake, stands surrounded by peril but remains protected by his faith in God.  To see life thrive in soil that is barren, enriched through prayer and faith, is a true miracle. I will always remember the simple dignity of the people of Haiti who waited hours in the midday heat to seek care for their children, then were quick to raise their hand in praise to God for their blessing.  It is easy for me to get lost in this life, in the pursuit of success and the daily grind of my life, I will strive to raise my hand as quickly to praise and thank God for my many daily blessings.  I will be forever grateful for the moments of clarity and grace that God gave me on my mission to Haiti.  I pray that I was able to give half as much as I received during my time there.  Tim Blanchet
