haiti

please be in prayer, if you haven't already been, for the people in Haiti. lee and i sponsor a child through World Vision there. His name is Makendy and he is about to turn 16. we haven't heard how he is yet, but i think he was far enough from the earthquake to be okay. however, of course the quake still affects him.
i remember reading over a year ago about how a Haitian mother was making mud pies for her children to eat because they had nothing else. there was a tiny bit of nutrients in it, but really? mud pies.
we are so blessed and don't even know it!
also, there was another article about a woman and her one outfit from haiti. i blogged about it i guess a year ago.
so, please pray for Makendy, and all of the other people and the relief workers that are there. my dad is leaving tomorrow to go for 16 days to work in a hospital outside of Port-au-Prince. he is a pharmacist and will be putting in very long hours i'm sure. he is going as part of Samaritan's purse ministries. please pray for his safety and that he'll be the hands and feet of Christ to these suffering people.

  1. We'll be praying for your dad and Makendy as we continue to pray for Haiti and those responding to the crisis there. Keep us posted!
