The 410 Bridge October 2011 Service Team treated the pregnant ladies in the deaf village to a Christ inspired foot washing. Team member, Melanie Glenn, told the ladies about the act of love shown by Jesus when he washed the feet of the disciples. She explained that despite our differences in cultures and backgrounds, we were in Haiti to show our love and respect for them and wanted to honor them with a foot washing. The ladies sat perfectly still, seemingly in awe that strangers from another country would demonstrate kindness in such a special way. During the hugs as the washing was concluded, it was unclear who enjoyed the experience more, those enjoying the pampering or those providing it.
