Tabitha, meaning restored to life...

One evening, in Haiti, we were asked to pray for a new infant at the crèche (orphanage). The baby girl was only a few days old, I believe 6, and weighed 5lbs when she came to the Lashbrooks. She came without a name so Cindy called her Tabitha. Keith told me the mother was going to throw the baby away if she didn’t find a home for her that evening. I can’t put into words what I felt. Heartbroken can’t explain the feeling. The good news is that within a few days there was a couple interested in adopting her. I will always remember this child. Seeing this first hand reminds me that this happens every single day in Haiti. I don’t understand how anybody could not love these children.
James 1:27 says this “Religion that pleases God the Father must be pure and spotless. We must help needy orphans and widows and not let this world make you evil.”

Prayer

I'm leaving in a few hours for Haiti for this fall trip. My prayer request is that God would reveal Himself to us and through us this week.
Here I am Lord! Use Me until you use me up.
Use as a riverbed for the flow of your:
Spirit
Love
Grace
Peace
Hope
Understanding
and your word!
Please pray for all of our families. It is who the devil asks first.
