Church leaders often scratch their heads and wonder about the level of faith commitment of some of the people they are trying to help. But sometimes they don’t. Especially not in the following circumstance. Last June 22-24, Sharon participated in the annual Spiritual Conference of the CRC of Haiti, held this year in Savannette, a small, isolated agricultural community in the central plateau of Haiti. Sharon learned about two women who had walked eight hours over the mountains, guided by their pastor, to participate in the conference. One of these women was carrying a nursing infant! Despite the hardship of the voyage (or maybe because of it), these two women were touched by the Holy Spirit during the weekend’s events. Sharon and the other leaders spoke to the approximately 70 participants from the perspective of Galatians 5:16-26 about the fruit of the Spirit that God was creating in them. However, Sharon felt led during the conference to address how God calls us to “control our tongue” as there were some unkind words exchanged among some of the women. We give thanks for the way God has blessed the Women’s Spiritual Conference over the years. Pray that this great event will continue!
