"To treat every person with dignity as FELLOW image bearers matters . . ."

by Samantha El Sadik, Worcester, MA, Weeks 1 & 2

I’ve been trying to come up with the words but I’m realizing all my words fall short of what this place means to me.

These past few weeks I’ve had the privilege to witness the ministry of reconciliation. To treat every person with dignity as FELLOW image bearers matters. I’ve received more than I have given, been blessed more than I could ever bless. To play a small role in this ministry has been a great gift. These pictures show experiences I can’t wait to share. Thank you Jesus.

To my Haitian brothers and sisters in the Dominican and in the US: I pray that the peace and wholeness of Jesus surrounds you. That you would be welcomed. I pray you know that you are loved and have plan and purpose. My heart breaks with yours as we pray to the God of Justice. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Thank you for praying with me and for me. Bondye beni ou ❤️ Dios te bendiga
