Re: I want you to see these pictures...
[QUOTE=Sister Alvear;590164]Ten years ago or so I visited her with another preacher and his wife. Most of these backland people do not know how to read or write and they are usually devout Catholics..
After a time she and some of her family became what we call believers. Once a month someone goes back there and has services for her and her family.
They count each minute that you are with them very precious. It takes much love and patience working with these people for they know nothing but superstitions...
However in time they cannot deny the presence of a God that comes with us that they do not have. Until they meet the living savior they are chained by rituals that take and never give...their whole world slowly changes as they get to know the Lord.
Life is hard and it takes a real calling to do real missionary work...vacations on the field are one thing living among the people is another thing.
Today in many backlands there are precious people that we have won to the Lord...however it has taken a lifetime of service...
If I could choose again I would choose to be a missionary...I am blessed by the people...[/QU
It is obvious that you have a deep desire to serve the people. Your passion for what you are doing speaks loud and clear. I do understand seeing a people full of superstitions and a complete lack of knowledge of the truth, coming to know our precious Savior is so totally heart warming. We do not live in Haiti but have been involved in the Haitian mission field. It is so beautiful to see these people come to know God and become believers.
Thanks for the info on this beautiful woman. Her face tugs at my heartstrings.

Re: I want you to see these pictures...
Even a cup of cold water given in His name is not forgotton...just think those that sacrifice to send God accounts it to their record...my part is really easy...just giving the things away to the people...those that sacrifice are the ones that spend to send these things to us for the people. Thanks to those that care enough to give and pray. In His Happy service. Sister Alvear
