Faces of Haiti: Created

The longer I live, the more I travel, the more people I meet, the more I feel that I was created for foreign missions work. I am created to share the hope of Christ with others, and worship Him by pouring my life out in service to Him.

Haitian Proverb

Here is a good Haitian proverb:

Avan ou monte bwa, gade si ou ka desann li.

“Before you climb a tree, look to see if you can climb down.” Make sure you know what you’re getting into.

The Church

“Let me say clearly that I am not against new or modern [church] buildings. I am not so idealistic to think that every church should meet in houses or old supermarkets. But we have to ask ourselves: Are we investing the majority of our time and energy in the brick and mortar of our buildings while neglecting the biblical command to be the hands and feet of Jesus?”

--Johnny Carr in “Orphan Justice”

Faces of Haiti: Family

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I saw this precious family! W and I are two of the sweetest people I know, and their kids were so adorable. I can’t wait to see how God uses their family to bring the hope of the Gospel to the people of La Montagne!

Life

“God’s goal is not to make sure you’re happy. Life is not about your being comfortable, happy, successful and pain free. It is about becoming the man or woman God has called you to be. Life is not about you. It’s about God. He doesn’t exist to make us happy. We exist to bring Him glory.”

--Chuck Swindoll
