Ministry Strategy

Our teams left for Haiti this morning at 4am. They hit the ground running and are beginning to assess the situation, further develop ministry partnerships, and respond to the immediate needs, such as food and water. By the end of this mission, we’ll have more information on what future teams will look like and how soon we can mobilize more people to go and serve. Here is a video taken this morning from Seth Barnes, explaining our overall strategy and plan (follow the link to watch it):

Publicity

God’s heart is broken for Haiti and he is activating people all over the world to help. Here are a couple stories on how the Lord is working: Ten-year old Brittany has watched as World Race Alum staying in her home have prayed and mobilized for Haiti over the last week. And last night she heard a story of a two-year old Haitian leaving a Dominican hospital wearing bandages dripping with blood and a dry IV bag because her mothere need to return to Port-Au-Prince to find her other children.

Team Update

We just received this update from team one. Team one is in Jimani (border town DR/Haiti). All are safe and healthy. This morning they arrived in Jimani not knowing what to expect. Last week our DR staff member Miguel Shaul had made contact with a pastor in Port-au-Prince who needed medical supplies and food. Since then they’ve been unable to contact him due to communication lines being down, they didn’t know what to do so they prayed. The team met up with Miguel in Jimani and were praying and discussing options when Miguel jumped from the car...

Haiti Quake Turns Thousands of Children into Orphans

This 5-month-old patient at the field hospital has a number rather than a name. No one even knows who dropped the barely-conscious child at the makeshift medical center after he was pulled from the debris of a collapsed building four days after last week’s catastrophic quake. Now recovering, doctors have a difficult decision ahead: “What will we do with him when we are finished?” said Dr. Assa Amit of the hospital’s pediatric emergency department. No one knows who the boy’s family is, or whether any of his relatives are alive. (Read the full...

Ministry Strategy

Miguel returned from Haiti and has been swamped with the mapping out the next week. Here are a couple of updates on what’s been going on. You can read the full story here. Yesterday was a tough day, full of hard work, and drenched in pain. A little Haitian girl the same age as my daughter Samantha had a leg removed from the hip. The mother is returning to Port-au-Prince to search for her other two children who have been on the streets since the earthquake. I pleaded with her to reconsider taking her daughter in, knowing that...

How Does God Really Feel About Haiti?

God's Heart

Seth Barnes wrote a blog about how God feels about Haiti, something that was revealed to him earlier this week: God weeps for his children. He sees the horror they’re experiencing in Haiti and he feels a grief that human words cannot describe. He sees the woman holding her crushed child and he feels the sorrow coursing through her being. He wants to hold her in the same way. The sovereignty of God is a mystery that seems at odds with a tragedy of this scale. As humans we struggle to explain how a good and omnipotent God can allow it. Worship is the...
