Our team heard from many that when the earthquake struck, Haitians thought the world was literally ending. It wasn't, but the survivors haven’t lost their big-picture perspective.
As we conducted interviews, we kept expecting to talk to people who were angry at God – angry for losing their homes, angry for being injured, angry for losing loved ones. We didn’t meet any.
Instead, we kept hearing thankfulness. They are thankful to still be alive. They are thankful to still have their families. And they are thankful for the help that is coming.

They believe that God’s protection was only reason they survived the earthquake.
So, right now, Haiti is more open to the Gospel than ever.
Many people asked us to tell them about God when they found out we were Christians. I watched as our translator, Junior, fearlessly witnessed to those we met and passionately prayed for them.
The harvest in plentiful, and I'm excited to see how God moves through Haiti in the coming months.
