Haiti Rescue Mission!

2

Last week I was blessed with the opportunity to join some friends from TN on an emergency trip to Port De Piex Haiti.  This city on the Northwest coast is the home to the Latchbrook Family Ministry.  The Latchbrook’s have been serving the needs of Haiti for over 13 years.  After the recent Earthquake there has been great suffering all over Haiti.  Many thousands of people have made there way out of Port Au Prince to other municipal regions where they seek medical attention and better living conditions.  For years the Latchbrook’s orphanage, school, and Church have been run with limited resources.  After the Earthquake God blessed the adoption process of 41 children who were immediately cleared to go to the U.S. This opened up space for many more children to come into a new home with the Latchbrook’s.  God began sending children and by the end of the week many of the slots had been filled.  The reality is that there are so many needs in Haiti right now that we can only rely on God and His power to meet those needs.  There were miracles apon miracles as we prayed with the sick and suffering.  I was witness to God’s healing hand on many occassions.  The Church had to be condemned after the Earthquake and so for the entire week a revival was held outdoors under the stars.  I learned that even in the face of human suffering God is worthy of all praise.  He has not forgotten His children, and in Haiti there are thousand of people that now recognize Jesus Christ as there Lord and Savior!

    From time to time, I will hear crititcism of help Americans are giiving in Haiti. I am always amazed at how anyone could find fault in a neighbor helping another neighbor, Yes, there is plenty of “neighbors in need” to go around. We are all called in different ways, to do different things, near and far. Time spent encouraging rather than criticizing is far more productive, don’t ya think!
