I hope that by now  you’re not sick and tired of reading about Haiti.  The thing is: I want you to be involved.  It’s amaze how God can so suddenly move in hearts in a way that drives us to action.  To clear up any kind of confusion, I need you to know that I’m not going to Haiti.  While I would love to, because of where I’m at right now, God has me in a position where He’s asking me to mobilize people. 

 

I mentioned earlier in the year and to all of my supporters that I really want to involve you in the ministry that I’m a part of.  This is me giving you an opportunity.  Please seize it.  Please respond.  Please help me get the word out to mobilize others to go help.  Here’s what you can do:

Guess what?  I work for a missions organization that’s got a pretty stellar strategy for helping restore Haiti.  We even have people wanting to partner with us because our vision is long term.  We’re not going down to Haiti to just drop supplies in people’s laps and leave  We’re going to Haiti to sit with them in the dirt, to sit with them in their ruin, and incarnate Jesus’ hope, love and our inherited Kingdom into their lives.  Could we be there for a decade or longer?  You bet.

 

Here are some upcoming trips:

World Race Relief.  It’s for anybody 21-35 years old during the month of June.  I’ll let you know more when we make the trip available.

World Race July 2010.  Guess what?  The first two months of the July 2010 World Race trip is to the Dominican Republic and Haiti.  You can learn more here.

STM.  Our short term missions department is busy organizing their trips down to Haiti.  Read this blog to learn more.

 

Again, this isn’t the last thing I’m going to post about Haiti.  I’m giving you an opportunity to do what I do: mobilize the “missionary” in the hearts of people.  It’s harder than it seems.  It’s more than just posting blogs and sending emails.  It’s more than inspiring people from the stories that overflow out of the lives we send out to the field.  

 

It takes a lot of work.

 

So pray for us.  We could most definitely use your prayers.  And prayers for strength and encouragement!
