Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
It is a beautiful sunny day here in MareRouge today. It has been rainy and cloudy but that is good for the gardens here. Please continue to pray that God will continue to use us to bless the Haitian people and point them to Jesus.
God sometimes reveals Himself...a young malnourished orphan needs milk...through a Christian who provides the formula. He sometimes reveals Himself...a mom and children needing food or clothing because their dad is in prison...through a caring missionary stopping by to find out what they need. And sometimes through a blanket under which a homeless person is hiding, someone brought Him. If we are waitng for the needy to walk through our church doors, we my wait a long time. God doesn't wait for people to come to Him. He goes to them and desires to intervene right at the point of their need. He's looking for a few brave people who are willing to go rather than wait for them to come. He's not looking for show-offs. He's looking for people through whom He can show off His Son. May we be some of those people. Going out brings them in and helps meet their needs.
