Today we went with the Kentucky team out into the village to witness to the children who do not attend the school. It was amazing to see how quickly the crowd picked up! 
We did a skit about the woman at the well and explained that true happiness could be found in Jesus, and that anything else would not satisfy. Shortly after the skit, Melody told the children a story and handed out 2 crayons to each child so that they could draw what they thought was God’s most beautiful creation. As a piece of butcher paper was laid out for the children to color, they each took their places and knelt down to color their individualized section of the paper. 
The pictures drawn varied from people and tap taps to trees and flowers. Although we may not realize it in America, even children in Haiti enjoy coloring and drawing pictures…and they’re quite good at it!
Once the children had finished coloring, Troy’s team provided them with beads and glittery strings so that they could make necklaces.
Even the adults standing around wanted to make them! Then they passed out pixie sticks, and the children’s faces glowed with excitement. As the stories were being told to the children, a small crowd of young men and women from the village began to form as well. It seemed that we were reaching not only the young children, but also their parents and other villagers with God’s love.

What a witness and testimony of God's love to the villagers! May God continue to bless the work the mission is doing in LaDigue.
