Something You Don't Want to See in the Middle of the Road


In a recent trip to the town of Savannette in the Central Plateau area of Haiti, Zach and a delegation of representatives from the CRC of Haiti and Christ Community Church in Victoria, B.C., ran into a problem on the road.  The road to Savannette is perched precariously on the side of a deep gorge which was carved out by a tributary of the Artibonite River (the main river in Haiti).  The trip to Savannette went well, though the ride was long and tiring.  We had good meetings with pastors of the CRC of Haiti churches in Savannette in which we identified a number of exciting possibilities for sharing.  We enjoyed a prayer service with one congregation in the area as well.  However, on the return trip, we were confronted with an excavator removing a large pile of rocks from the road.  After waiting several hours for the work to finish, we finally managed to make it up the slope and to the other side of area where the rocks fell.  We give thanks to God that the excavator and its crew were working that day.  If not, we would have been stuck in Savannette for a long time!
