Mission Adjourned

Our time in Haiti has come to an end and I am glad to call the members of the team bond servants of Christ. Today we served the orphanage in Cambry which houses 220 orphans. To much of our surprise the children we in relatively good health which is due to the fact that many churches have stepped up and provided financial support necessary to care for the children. The one constant was the amount of teeth extracted. However due to the good health of the Cambry kids, we were able to provide care to the adults, caregivers, staff, nurses, and pastors and their wives.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us individually and as a team, we were able to bring a glimmer of heaven on earth to the children and people of Haiti this week. There is no doubt that Christ is showing up big in this country. Let's continue to stand with the pastors who preach the uncompromising message of Jesus Christ. An awakening is happening in this country and how exciting it is to be a conduit of service to the people of Haiti. Lives were blessed, people are being healed both physically and spiritually, and most importantly the church of God continues to expand.

We have seen God do big things but we must not rest upon those laurels, we must pick up the mantle and act on behalf of the needy and oppressed. As we have heard preached from the pulpit we must Arise and Go! Go to those who have no voice, Go to those who are weary and heavy laden, Go to those whom God has called us to serve!

It is circumstances like this that reminds us of our Lord and Savior who embarked on a mission to bring the kingdom of heaven to the poor and needy on earth. Hebrews 12:1-2 reminds us of the great cloud of witnesses who have preceded us and Jesus who was able to endure the cross because of the joy set before him! May God grant us vision, a glimpse of heaven on earth, that in this time we may realize that God has allowed us to be his people, his church to serve him and glorify him in the midst of events such as an economic recession and a church merger. May a divine and God ordained sense of vision and purpose unite us and mobilize us to march we the One who has overcome sin and death, to join Christ as he reigns in heavenly places. Now is the time to seek the city whose builder and maker is God.

Thank you again for your prayers and words of encouragement.
