HSC Haiti – An unforgettable memory! By Anne Du Sault
When my friend emailed me about the HWW Singles Corps in Haiti, I only had a few minutes left to sign up. Once I received confirmation of acceptance, I felt excited, but at the same time scared. I hesitated when I learned from the information email that I would need to sleep on hard wood, take bucket showers with cold water, be without electricity unexpectedly, and sleep under a mosquito net. I asked myself... Why am I doing this at 54 years old? Well, God answered this question several times through the lessons I learned during the trip. What God taught me was:
- Focus more on giving than making sure all my needs are being met.
- Trust in all circumstances (even when the road doesn’t look like one or
the chauffeur is driving on the wrong side of the road). - Get out of my comfort zone without complaining.
- Discover and share with wonderful people of God who love serving 24/7.
- Have an impact on the life of orphans and other children by showing them love and compassion.
I came back to Montreal with a heart filled with bright smiles, new flavours, colourful sunsets, natural and spiritual beauty, as well as a deep gratitude for God’s kingdom and blessings.
There is no age limit for experiencing God’s eye-opening humility. If you feel you need a change of heart, then pick a destination, start saving now and let God work!
