A Day in Port Au Prince

We dropped Todd ,my boss, off at the airport today. I'm the only American left at the school now. I spent the entire day driving around Port Au Prince with Marc, the director of my school. He's a very intellect Haitian man that is passionate about God and saving souls. I'm lucky to have such a good guy looking out for me here. God is to good to me.
He took me to a small store that sold lunch meat. I was surprised! I didn't think they had shops like that here. We bought bread, cheese, and ham. When Cayla and Josh come to visit me Tuesday I'm going to serve them hot ham and cheese. I know they will enjoy that. Rice gets old really fast. They serve it with every single meal.
While I was in town Marc taught me a little about Haitian money (gourdes). I exchanged all my American dollars for gourdes. One thousands gourdes equals about $25. I was looking everywhere for a Bible written in Creole, but I didn't have any luck. I guess, they are hard to come by. Marc said he will find me one, though. How can we expect these people to make educated productive descisions about thier country if they can't even buy a Bible? Most American's have three or four Bibles lying around their home. I know I do. I even have it on my phone. With all the resources God has given to us, I believe, he expects a lot more out of Americans. I recently read a book by a famous missionary named C. T. Studd. His thoughts were this....

My friends often ask me, "Do you think people can be saved if they have never heard the gospel?"
For me, a more important question would be, "Can people be saved who have heard the gospel and chosen not to share it?"

We have all been given the gift of the Message. What we chose to do with it is up to us. You are all missionaries. Remember, you don't have to travel across the world to share the love of Jesus.
