May PAD - Skyline

Day 2 of Photo A Day is a Skyline.  Well, this is one of the most beautiful skylines that I have ever seen.  From this little hill in the village, you can see the houses and the beautiful ocean and mountains in the background.  This is taken at one of the villages that we work with when we visit the Mission of Hope in Haiti.  The top picture is from the summer of 2011.  As you can see, there was no foliage.  We spent time chopping weeds and thorny bushes with machetes and shovels.  It was very hard work. But as you can tell in just one year, how much growth had taken place.  The bottom picture is from one year later.  It was so amazing to see!  They were all growing their own fruits and vegetables - even ones that they didn't know what were.  There were happy to experiment with them.  This village was established for those who were displaced after the earthquake.  The have completed houses, a church, and a water source for this village.  This village ministers specifically to the deaf population in this community.   I can't wait to see what God has done in the past year.  Heading there June 15!!!   For more amazing stories you can visit mohhaiti.org.
