Together

The primary goal in my coming down to Haiti this summer was to try to encourage and support the teachers at Christian Light School.  I was asked to lead the summer teacher's institute and I have to say that it is one of the greatest blessings and honors I have ever experienced. 
To be able to sit in the same room as these amazing educators is a great treat.  To have them come day after day and participate in our program is extremely rewarding.  To hear their passion for teaching and to observe their love for their students is inspiring.  To listen to their hopes for the future of their country is humbling. To laugh and joke with them is simply delightful.  To worship our Savior together and read the Word together each morning is more edifying than I can relate.  

Just being together with these teachers is very much a heavenly experience for me.  I have come to love these brothers and sisters more than I can express and beyond what I could reason.  So today, at the end of our third week of teacher training, I am thankful for the teachers of Christian Light School, for their patience, acceptance, joy in the midst of sorrow, wisdom, passion, and their Christ-like love.








Thank you for following along on this journey with me! Love in Christ, Jessie

  1. They have chosen an amazing person to lead the institute this season.....but, I know you will learn as much from them as they from you! It always goes like that, and I think that is how God intended it! \o/ I imagine that as the time grows closer for you to leave, the days will become richer and more precious. Live them as best as you can... in God's strength, wisdom and leading. Bless you, my Darling.... Gram xo
