We need your continued prayers...this has been such a stressful season for Haiti and we're not out of it yet. It's been a stressful season for our students, for our friends and for our family! How challenging the sweet stretching of our faith! Ongoing daily struggle is not easy...it's not easy living every day not knowing what tomorrow is going to bring. What an tiny identification with our Haitian brothers and sisters this all has given us opportunity to that we never really understood before...what if there IS no fuel, what if there IS no food, what in the world will tomorrow hold?
Will the roads stay open? Will more fuel come again? When will Lily and Sofie's school open? Will the students be able to continue to come? Will prices stop rising? Which of all the daily rumors and fears and stories are and will be true? Can the deep-seated changes that need made really BE MADE? Has anything actually changed? Is anything ever actually going to?
Man alive, I tell you straight...anytime I put any hope or peace in anything other than HIM, it's all just dashed. Our hope and stay is Christ-alone, I am reminded everyday. He is SO faithful, making it possible, with His help, to be FAITHFUL in this time, in ANY time.
We are here with our brothers and sisters, your brothers and sisters, too. Having dinner with different village families has been so good this week, loving on them as they love on us. We continue on, trusting Him with and thanking Him for each day. Each day.
From Emmaus' facebook:
At Emmaus, we really love doing what we do. This morning, we are incredibly grateful to be all about it...all classes full, generator house re-fueled, food purchased, public transportation running. We praise the Lord, His Word powerfully and transformatively going out, persevering together.
PLEASE KEEP PRAYING...The only peace that is not fragile is His. Lines are long, tensions and prices are still high, elementary schools are reopening and all plan to be back in full swing by Monday, everything is functioning again...with stress. Life isn’t easy, and this peace hasn’t been cheap.
Pray for believers to continue to grow in this stretching time. Pray for the lost to find Him in this dark time. Pray for the church to be faithful in this heavy time. Pray for leaders to put God’s best for Haiti first and foremost, in the service of her people, in this delicate time.
We are keeping on, in the hands of a never-ceasing God. Keep on with us...#prayforhaiti
