When one sees the heart wrenching conditions in Haiti one might assume there is an absence of hope.  They would be wrong.  Worshipping at St Croix Episcopal Church was to experience the joy and spirit filled heart of Haiti.  Voices lifted in song, hands raised upward, people coming forward eagerly to place their offerings in a basket - all of this gives powerful glimpses of God's Kingdom.  A three hour worship service was truly a blessing to me and the rest of Team Haiti. As Haitians put it - "Merci Jesus".
