Mats for Haiti

In the spring, our church made plastic mats for some children in Haiti.  You can see how my mat was made in my blog posting dated 5/26/13.

This is a picture of my mat.  It was the only one that had a brown border on either side.  That is how I picked it out in the pictures that were brought back from that mission trip.

The below pictures show the reactions of the children who received these mats:

I am totally happy to see that the mats our team made were so loved by these children in Haiti.  It makes you want to make more and more of them. 

God allowed us to intervene in their lives even if we never stood on ground in Haiti.  They will know that someone, somewhere in Tennessee, knew of their plight and God sent them people who love them and want to share Jesus with them.

God is good!
