YMATH – Day 3 – the Spirit

amazing stories continue as the Youth Ministry Advance Team: Haiti Seth Barnes, director of Adventures in Mission, posted an equally amazing video on his blog yesterdday…

But here in Haiti, I’m seeing the kingdom come. The Spirit is not just falling, he’s going viral and spilling out into every street corner.
We drove to meet a pastor and found the road blocked. Ahead in the middle of the street a band was playing and hundreds of people were dancing. We stopped and our gang piled out of the van. It wasn’t any one church – it was just a bunch of people celebrating the kingdom coming to Haiti through their dance.

Our youth pastors dove in and joined with them – twirling and singing with the masses.  Coming back they raved, “Wow – that was awesome! It was a moment of pure spiritual joy.”  We drove through the city streets and came to a complete halt as a huge parade of people blocked our way. They were carrying signs, “Jesus for Haiti. Haiti for Jesus.” They were singing. They were chanting. They were marching and dancing. A truck loaded with speakers blared out praises.

keep praying for the team.  right now they’re trying to find relief supplies for a tent city they stumble upon yesterday.  some 5,000 folks + who apparently haven’t gotten any supplies since the disaster struck.

Please help us! A village cries out. #ymath #Haiti
