Remembering

Today we remember how Haiti was, and how it isn't anymore

Today we remember those who have lost so much. We remember those who are now sleeping in tents, under a sheet in their yard. We remember those who have 30 people living in their house because they have no place to go. We remember those who have no clothes because "looters" took things before they could claim their belongings. We remember families who now have little food in the villages because so many from the city have now moved in.

We remember God has put us in a position to pray, heal and learn. We know God has called us to a greater work still.

We remember that we are unable to do this work in our own strength. We remember God is our strength and through Him all things are possible.

We remember those who do not know Jesus yet. We remember that God loves them. We need to share His love with them. This is our Great Commission: to go into all the world to teach all nations...

Are you ready to join us in this great commission?

Pray for those who are suffering so much in Haiti.
We pray God blesses each of you.

Good Morning Barb and Patrick,
Praise God for your willingness to share your experience, which touches my heart. I prayed this morning for God to show me how I can move closer to Him. Then I read your blog... Thank you for reminding me what we CAN do no matter what our circumstances. Every person can pray and God can use our prayer in ways we can scarcely imagine. I pray God will continue to heal you both and ease your pain.
We are looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love, Darcy
