And, hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5
Haiti 2010>2011
One year later the effects of the quake are everywhere. 10% of the population died overnight from the 7.0 earthquake. Rubble still covers much of the capital. More than 1 million people remain in tents and huts in makeshift encampments.
Now cholera, a fast spreading disease due to poor sanitary conditions and contaminated water, is taking lives. There is much suffering. Yet, to God be the glory, the people of Haiti are being touched by the love of God, given HOPE by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The body of Christ also is a part of God’s love to the suffering. People need help, they cry out and God sends us: His hands and feet. Acts 16:9, 10
February 11-19 a team from the NW is heading to Haiti and I’m part of that team. Privileged to serve with Only God International (Living Hope, Vancouver, WA) & Haitian Christian Mission (www.haitianchristianmission.org), we will divide into various teams: medical clinic, construction & children’s ministry. I will serve with the medical clinic team as an assistant. Ask my husband, this is right up my alley.

Please join us in prayer for those we touch, that they will know it was the hand of their heavenly Father. Pray for our safety and stamina: this NW lady working in the tropics with 90+ degrees and high humidity.... ugh!
