Our Quisqueya Christian
School Sr. Class enjoyed their annual hike to Fondation
Seguin this past weekend, September 19th-21st. It was
a great blessing to join them and to study 'The Faithfulness of the Wisdom of
God'. "Unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power
of God, and the wisdom of God." (1 Corinthians 1:24, ASV).
Over the weekend we looked at The Seven Marks of a Wise
Person, by Mark Matlock.
We looked at Proverbs, through The
Wisdom Deck, and explored the Seven Marks of a Wise Person, which are: 1.
Trusts in God, 2. Walks in Healthy Relationships, 3. Seeks Good Counsel, 4.
Speaks Carefully, 5. Exercises Self-Control, 6. Keeps Balance, and 7. Manages
Resources.
There were 30 of us, 25 students and 5 leaders, on this year’s
Seguin,
Sud-Est, Haiti hike. The hike consisted of two nights and three days. We
hiked to Seguin 10.5 miles on day one with four donkeys assisting us from just
above Furcy,
Ouest, Haiti. There was a 2,000-foot cumulative elevation gain over the
course of the hike in.
On day two we did a 5-mile hike to a waterfall, round trip,
and on the return we hiked through a 1.5-mile stretch of creek where we swam
and worked together to get through.
The final day consisted of 2,000 feet of cumulative
elevation gain over 10.5 miles, with 5 donkeys assisting.
Everyone had a wonderful time and completed the trip safely
with minor muscle aches and scratches, and one minor sprained ankle.
We were all amazed at how God showed up during our time
together and will be processing this wonderful time together for years to come.
