Do you have a HEART FOR HAITI?

Every 5 seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry. One more time…Every 5 seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry. This is a great opportunity to send food to those who are in need. In Haiti, the people stand in the streets, raise their hands to the heavens, and pray that they will receive their next meal. When that next meal comes, their faith is strengthened. We can share the gospel with those in Haiti by packing these meals for them and sharing with them what we have. Saint Francis of Assisi once said, “Share the gospel at all times, when necessary use words.” The people of Haiti are hungry and broken – let’s offer Him who was broken for us. My husband was in surgery this morning and I was reading a book “Fields of the Fatherless.” Here is something that I have been thinking about all morning. “One of the best definitions of justice I’ve heard is implied by the definition of its opposite: evil. Edmund Burke, an eighteenth-century British philosopher, said this: ‘The definition of evil in the world is when good men and women see injustice and do nothing.’ Here’s another way to look at it: When it comes to caring for the people on God’s heart, indifference is sin.” I think it is a reminder of what is said in James 1:27 – Pure and faultless [religion] is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress. I know that God does not want us to feel “guilty” about what we do or don’t do for those in need, but I do believe that He wants us to feel responsible. I encourage everyone to participate in this event – I think that you will find that you will be the one being blessed.
