Last Wednesday night a man named Josh and his intern Royce came down and, with the help of a few other people, put on a multilingual, multicultural worship event. It was held in a Haitian village called Ascensión. Both Dominicans and Haitians came, as well as our group of about 15 Americans. Songs were sung in Spanish and Kreyol, there was even one in English. It was cool to hear the different languages going throughout the course of the event.

The power went out 10 minutes prior to the start of the event, so the men played their instruments and sang without speakers and microphones and a PowerPoint slideshow was played by using a car battery. Bet you have never experienced something like that before! Despite it being hard to hear with kids talking at the same voice level as the ones putting on the event, it all went very well.

The next day Josh flew back to the states. Royce though will be staying for the next 5 weeks as an intern with Makarios. He will be teaching music to the kids during my classes in Pancho Mateo and Chichigua, which I am very excited about.

The next day the group from Taylor left for Santiago to see Ruben’s farm, as well as work on the land recently purchased for Makarios.
