Spring Trip Processing

I’ve come to a much better understanding of what Haiti has gone through since the earthquake on January 12. Most buildings that were damaged have had no attention. There are tent cities everywhere. There is approximately 1.3 million people living in tents, some on our orphanage campus. This is the beginning of the rainy season and it has yet to start to rain while I was there. When it does I don’t want to imagine what diseases and issues will come about. There is still destruction everywhere. There are people that still need medical attention. Many people need mental and spiritual attention as well. We have taken in several children who have been left without parents since the earthquake.

In my message to the church in Balmaitre I talked about the Body of Christ. I talked about how it takes all of Christ’s followers to do His work here on earth. I reminded them that each of us has our own story, or own experiences and our own past. It takes Haitians, Americans, Africans, Asians... it takes all of us to be one body. Sometimes we are the only Bible people get to read or the only Christ some people know.

With that said I want to thank each of you for your role in the body. I want to thank you for your prayer support. Please continue to pray for me and for all of GVCM. Pray for the children in Fedja, our staff members, their families and all of Haiti. I appreciate your continued financial support, too. It is only by your support that I can continue to spread the love and hope of Christ and share my passion for the people of Haiti.
