Is It Really More Blessed to Give than Receive?


We've all heard that well-worn phrase, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." During the last month we have put the cliche to the test. We received Katrina Schaafsma, a Calvin Theological Seminary intern from Ridgetown, ON, to our team from May 31 to June 30. For a month, we exposed (or subjected) Katrina to all different aspects of Sous Espwa's work from long-term CRWM/CRWRC ministries to CRWRC earthquake relief projects. We drug Katrina from Thomassique (the Central Plateau) to Jacmel (Southern Coast) to participate in training, videographing, and meetings with local church leaders (see left). She cheerfully put up with a bout of the famous Haitian stomach flue, some pretty infamous Haitian latrines, and even a two visits to the beautiful Haitian beaches with her new friends and colleagues. We give thanks to God for her profitable visit and we pray that God will guide her in present and future ministry. It was truly a blessing for our team to receive Katrina this summer!
