Miracle on Voodoo Mountain

I cannot believe I have not posted on here in over a year! I'm not sure if anyone still stumbles across this blog from time to time, but just in case, I am going to keep it "alive". Recently, I was watching Life Today (amazing ministry with an amazing TV show that helps care for people physically, emotionally and spiritually) on Roku. I came across an episode featuring Megan Boudreaux. Her episode obviously caught my attention because it had to do with Haiti. Her short interview on the show does not do the story justice! I am so glad I ordered her book, "Miracle on Voodoo Mountain: A Young Woman's Remarkable Story of Pushing Back the Darkness for the Children of Haiti." This young woman had only visited Haiti briefly on two occasions for her job when she kept dreaming about a tree she had seen there. She felt God was calling her to Haiti so she sold everything and went there with no definitive plan. Within a year a school was built, children were being fed, corrupt orphanages were being closed and light was brightly shining on a very dark mountain! I don't want to tell too many details, but if you love God stories, this book is a must read! It is so encouraging to hear of those answering the call and being Jesus in this dark world!
