With the new road being constructed, a short drive had the team in Picot. The youth group had prepared a special song to receive the team which they sang in Creole and English. Along with the song each team and RMI staff member received a hand decorated note welcoming them to Picot.
The week was busy and included many of the usual activities such as the Deacon’s Meeting and Ladies Tea (pictured below).
In addition to these regular activities the team was invited to participate in the dedication service for the church at one of Picot’s satellite churches in Les Rois. The Sunday afternoon program was attended by members and Pastors from all of the churches in the Picot District and was broadcast live on Radio Lumiere all throughout the south of Haiti. The team sat on stage as honored guests and Mark greeted the church on the behalf of the whole team and he shared a short message of encouragement.

Throughout the rest of the week the group visited each of the satellite churches in the district and participated in a short service at some of the locations and spent time touring the parsonage, church and school at the other locations.
Back at the church in Picot a mural was being painted on the side of the parsonage. It was designed and brought to fruition by one of the team members, Shannon.
During the week as time and weather permitted she directed the placement and implementation of the design and team members, RMI Staff, and some of the church members assisted in the painting and at the end of the week a beautiful mural was left behind as a reminder of the love that the Trinity Bible Church has for their Sister Church in Picot, Haiti.
The finished product!
It was a great week that left both the team and the church in Picot encouraged by one another’s presence and service and reminded of God’s great love for his church and all of His people!
