It is hard to believe we only have two more days here. The team is doing well and we are so blessed to have been given the gift of coming here together. Please pray for the following:</p> <p>-  Healing in the team and through the team. Several of the team has sickness/injury and everyone is tired, running low on energy. Things include:cold,  swollen eyes, throats, voices, and back pain. </p> <p>- Healing through the team. The team has continued to be used to pray for one another and others in pain. Pray for the Lord to bless others with healing through us.</p> <p>- Pray and worship. The team has been on mission since we arrived to pray and worship continually as our spiritual act of worship. Staying here at MDL we feel like God has been using our prayers and worship to “raise the walls” of spiritual protection even higher around the children and staff.  Pray for freshness of faith and vision as we seek God in these times.</p> <p>- Pray for clear discernment as we wait on the Lord for direction.</p> <p>- Pray for the Lord to lift the heads of the children and the staff as they can grow weary from doing good and as the children here battle fear and despair over current circumstances in Haiti.</p> <p>- Pray for fruitful teaching times over the next few days. Pray over the pre-school to older kids to be helped in their learning and to hunger after the word. Pray that the things our team teaches would leave a lasting impression on each child.</p> <p>- Pray for the team to be filled with Joy in the last two days. To be led by the Spirit and to grasp all that the Lord has for them to do and enjoy. Pray for the Lord to open any doors for future ministry in Haiti that he has not opened already. </p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/540659634http://realityinhaiti.com/post/540659634Thu, 22 Apr 2010 09:34:45 -0400hotfwames<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a578vhEv1qbc4ivo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>A day at school and chillin at the Binz</p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/540644267http://realityinhaiti.com/post/540644267Thu, 22 Apr 2010 09:23:32 -0400hotfwames<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1a4wjjOBd1qbc4ivo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Angelo is here twice as long as the rest of the team, and has been instrumental in alleviating the burden from the MDL staff and Bill and Susette.

It started with Jen leading some worship, then Lazo doing a dramatic reenactment of the story when Zacheus meets Jesus.  The kids were very wild (restlessness, anger, sadness…) when they entered the “Bens” courtyard and had a trouble setting down but as soon as Lazo got up and began to teach he had all 100 of their attention. The presence of God was so tangible that a peace fell over many who were watching. Lazo taught about how he (as Zacheus) had sought for Jesus but could not find him in the crowd so he climbed a tree (at this point he mounted Danny who was the tree). However, all along Jesus was seeking out Zacheus and took notice of him. The skit was hillarious and effective and we would ask you continue to pray for us as we minister to children as a team. Pray for the children who attend the feeding program to become assured and grounded in who Jesus is. Today we have our second day at the feeding program and we are preparing the skit on Jonah and the whale. Please pray a special anointing over Lazo, Danny and Jesse who have been taking turns at teaching the Bible and Christ to the children at the MDL school and feeding program. Pray for the children’s hearts to be gripped by truth and hunger for God’s word.</p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/538724135http://realityinhaiti.com/post/538724135Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:19:44 -0400hotfwames<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l18nl5LyGt1qbc4ivo10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>kids at the feeding program</p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/538700421http://realityinhaiti.com/post/538700421Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:05:28 -0400hotfwames<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l17686lgKQ1qbc4ivo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is our next-door neighbor…</p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/536729514http://realityinhaiti.com/post/536729514Tue, 20 Apr 2010 18:52:11 -0400chrislazo<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l16l91poVQ1qbc4ivo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yesterday, we took part in the feeding program. Children gather in this compound and play games, worship, and hear the gospel. Then they are served warm food and clean water. The vision at Child Hope is to alleviate suffering and hunger, and yet not exist simply as a crutch. For that, the feeding program is every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.</p> <p>Pray for resources for this wonderful ministry, as the most basic needs like water and food are scarce. Pray also that the gospel we teach would fall on softened children hearts, and that these acts of mercy would be directly connected to a God who loves them. Pray for the team to be refreshed as it can sometimes feel very hopeless for a short term team-member.</p>http://realityinhaiti.com/post/535931278http://realityinhaiti.com/post/535931278Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:19:24 -0400chrislazo<span id="video_player_533777562">[<a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" target="_blank">Flash 10</a> is required to watch video.]</span><script type="text/javascript">renderVideo("video_player_533777562",'http://realityinhaiti.com/video_file/533777562/tumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6',400,300,'poster=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6_frame1.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6_frame2.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6_frame3.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6_frame4.jpg,http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_l12owjH6yj1qzava6_frame5.jpg')</script><br/><br/><p><a href="http://christopherlazo.com/post/530554984/the-team-got-to-go-down-the-road-to-a-ravine" class="tumblr_blog">chrislazo</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>The team got to go down the road to a ravine, where the poorest of the poor reside as refugees.
