Here are some funny tidbits we discovered about Haiti:

1.       1)  Atomik energy drinks with GINSENG are rated #1 by our team. (Ragaman energy drink comes in at a close second;)

2.       2)  There are no working ATMs ANYWHERE!

3.       3) Riding the Tap-Tap is phenomenal! (Below) Just keep cramming people in!

4.       4) Water and Toilet paper are a luxury… Don’t Abuse IT! (well except to HYDRATE)

5.       5)  CANDY JUICE!!!!!!!!!! Ok…so there is this juice that tastes like liquid smarties! Yes it is scientifically possible!   SO GOOD!!

6.       6)   (Haitian Dollar*5)/8= ACTUAL price…..The Haitian dollar does not exist. Every time we go to buy anything they tell us the price in Haitian Dollars which is an old currently non-existent currency. The currency are Goudes (“goods”). So in order to convert you need to multiply Haitian Dollar by 5 to get Gouds and divide by 8 to figure out American dollars! Haha! 

We are about to leave our missions contacts Candace and Amos at the YWAM base here in Jacmel. We will be heading back to the Dominican Republic to start our debrief with our coaches on Sunday.  Our time here consisted of house to house evangelism, street services and vacation bible school. Amongst these we introduced people to God, we challenged legalistic lives with an intimate relationship with God (legalism: belief that following religious rules is how you are in good standing with God). We combated the spiritual warfare head on; rebuking demons and rebuking spiritual/voodoo attacks. We have given our love to the Orphans of the YWAM base. We have encouraged the Christians here in Haiti; we had a chance to meet youth who wanted to missionaries and where passionate about God. We were also blessed to share testimonies with other missionaries. (picture is the view from our roof)

As we leave this country I believe that we have showed them freedom and healing. Those who heard about Jesus and choose to believe in Him received freedom from darkness. Those who choose to believe in God received healing from headaches, spiritual warfare and voodoo. 

Another group of missionaries that we met here prayed healing over people in the hospital. Broken legs were healed, eyesight was restored and a prisoner was set free. We heard another testimony from other missionaries that a witchdoctor accepted Jesus Christ! Hallelujah that the body of Christ is at work in Haiti! We are leaving this place victorious in the promise that God loves His people and has come to deliver freedom and healing to his people.
