This is the church, the church which is the Baptist Church of Busan and I start this
church.
My office was here in this house and I had a school there, a clinic and then we get
money, we buy the land, we bake this, we make the church here, so they hold this one.
It's a community of 1,000,000 people.
When I start here, we have 20,000 people in this community, 20,000 people, so but now
we become more, more because it's...
Pastor Gil called it as we walked in, probably the largest cemetery in Haiti, instantly,
because thousands, thousands lost their lives on the day of the earthquake.
Going into this place as he's trying to tell us the story of the great history, it wasn't
long before his emotions became really the overpowering force and the history, the great
things accomplished there weren't as important anymore as the feelings he felt as he experienced
the smell.
We had to walk over piles of rubble.
They were long times of just standing, all of us, it was very difficult to find anything
to talk about because the loss was so, so real.
As the desks settled in, we needed to make our way back out and I just remember, Guillaumets
had very little strength left and I walked beside him as he grabbed my arm.
And I never felt anyone need me to help carry him like I felt Pastor Guillaumets just trying
to get his feet to move forward as we climbed up those stairs and out of that place.
Truly an emotional time beyond words for me, I can't imagine what it was like for Pastor
Guillaumets to walk out of there knowing what had been built was in minutes destroyed.
This then and during our return just recently, great things had happened because what seemed
to be the end of an era actually gave rise to a new beginning in Tuscany.
You remember when you come here, when you came here after the earthquake, the whole,
all this area was rubble.
But now you have space to work, it's a good progress.
So and also, as I tell you, this area was like a cemetery when we come here, you know,
you remember that I cried a lot when I come here, nobody in this area.
So when we make decisions to move the world in the church and to rebuild the church, we
rebuild the church, that's been built in the community.
The people who go to live in the tent city, they come back now and they don't stay in
the tent city.
It's their own shelter in the place, in the yard, and they live.
