Listening for the Whispers

A fun filled teaching on sexual purity this morning ended our time with Pastor D and Chase.  It was so special to have them here.  Makes me miss Texas accents.  Makes me excited to go back to the MVMNT in a few months and have to meet a thousand new people because God is exploding in the hearts of Texas' youth.  Coolzies.
Pastor D hammered home on hearing the voice of God this week. On Tuesday afternoon we gathered in groups for outreach, and were totally blown away.
Two guys felt we should walk to a specific entrance into our neighborhood, and I had a picture of a red bright red shirt.  The treasure hunt began.  We walked to the entrance and the very first person we saw was a man with, yes, a bright red shirt walking right towards us.  Even though he was busy, he invited us to his home and we will follow up this weekend.  Chase felt like we were supposed to pray for someone with red shoes.  As we meandered down the dusty Haitian roads we saw a little boy with tiny red converse in an open field a ways off.  We prayed God's favor and blessing over him.  That he would be a light for his family and for this nation.  God just kept confirming that we were hearing his voice.  Emily and another lady heard the voice of God that lead us to a man who ended up wanting to accept Christ.  It's incredible how God will use us when we just make ourselves available. 
This is just a taste of the wonderful things going on here.
And the moment we have all been waiting for finally arrived this week. All of the DTS students and staff were split up into our outreach phase locations.  Before I came to Haiti, I knew that Benin (West Africa), Jamaica, and Haiti were options for outreach, but they also added Brazil as an option. 
Long story short, I ended up choosing Benin.  God gave me peace about going there, and no where else.  Funny thing is that there were enough people to split the Benin team into two separate teams.  The staff leading one team also felt called to France.  Turns I got chosen for that team!  Because we will be going to France, there will be a little bit more cost than was expected because of the airfare.  The outreach phase will now cost no less than $3500.  This means I will need at least $500. But God has shown himself so faithful already, and has done the same for so many, that there are absolutely no worries.  He is our provider. Good thing God has all the money in the world and He's on our side.  Our speaker from week one is our contact in France, Dudley Weiner.  He is an inspiring, incredible man of God.  10 days in France will lead us to a longer, 40 days in Benin, and then end our outreach with 10 days in Togo. 
There are 10 students on my team and 2 staff (including the African Princess Chimene). 
In addition to praying for Haiti, if you want to lift up Togo, Benin, and France, that would be wonderful!  Please pray extra hard for the Haitian students... that God would grant them favor in receiving visas and passports, and that he would place people in their lives who will be generous in supporting financially.
Thank you all for everything you've done!  Love you tons.
