For the most part the evening news has moved on to stories of Olympic glory and Maalox woes; it is so easy for us to be out of sight and out of mind. Every evening CBS tells us of a new “crisis” or the impending “crisis” and slowly Haiti fades from our memory.
I am choosing to refuse to let it be a memory, another tragic event somewhere “down there”, or another thing that is horrible.
I am choosing to let it change me.
I am choosing to be broken.
I am choosing to not forget.
I am choosing to BELIEVE He is Good.
I am choosing to KNOW that He longs for restoration in the land of Haiti.
I am choosing to be a part of something bigger than my little world.
One
of the things I love most about working with Adventures In Missions is that when there is a need, we as an
organization immediately begin working to respond. And that includes
everything from collecting donations to mobilizing people to actually
go.

This morning, one of our directors who just got back from
Port-au-Prince yesterday, told our staff:
“We didn’t initiate the Kingdom there. We didn’t single-handedly bring
it. It was already present. God is already moving, and the people are
responding to Him. And the people of Haiti are releasing the Kingdom
into their own nation. But God is inviting us to be a part, and to join
with them as a family, as the Body of Christ. We aren’t going to be
their saviors; we are going to support them; to show them we love them.
It is our honor, and our privilege.”
