Addison Addressed the Crowd

We recently had a “town hall” gathering in the gazebo to introduce the new guys: Josh, Isaac, Kara, Chris, and Ben. It was so moving to hear our Haitian brother, Addison, address the crowd. He talked about the day when everyone in the community felt shame and were hopeless for change. He recounted the day Emory and Mary showed up, and the time when Brian joined them. He talked about how all of Gonaives now knows that though everyone else may have forgotten Jubilee, God never did. He burst with belief that God is making something for all to marvel at here.

The crowd cheered every time he spoke the name of Jesus. It was so very moving. So very real.  Addison said that for those of us who know Christ, if we die, we die. It is no problem to die. So he does security every night around the houses. We all laughed with him when he explained that is why he has to sleep in the mornings!
