Sunday, June 20th

“Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds and his righteousness endures forever.”
Ps 111:2-3


It’s almost impossible to put into words what we have experienced this week. Many times, it takes getting out of your comfort zone to see God’s mighty power. I think I can safely say that we have all been out of our comfort zones this week and we have all seen God work in ways we could never have imagined before. As you welcome your loved ones home, know that God has used them to touch the lives of many without hope and without the good news of Jesus Christ and please be patient with them as they struggle to express all that God has shown them.

“The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Ps 118:6

We just had some visitors here in the guest house…two Haitian pastors, one who had a wife killed in the quake and one whose church was destroyed. When talking about their loss, one shrugged and simply said “God knows.” I’m listening to praise music being sung downstairs by the ladies hard at work getting the house ready for the next large group to descend on them this evening. By our standards, these people have so little, but, oh, by God’s standards they have so much.

“Not to us, oh Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.” Ps 115:1

This week in Haiti, we’ve seen His glory, we’ve felt His love and we’ve experienced the amazing faithfulness of our Lord.

How awesome is that?
