Northwest Bible Church, let’s praise and thank God for people all over the world who are caring, giving, and going to aide those who are suffering in Haiti. I thank God for many of you who have sent money and prayed fervently. In view of the huge logistical nightmare of getting help and supplies on the ground, let’s pray hard, together and a lot for God to show mercy and create a way in this wilderness.
Also, I am calling us to begin to pray for wisdom for what Jesus wants for us in terms of involvement in future waves of caring. As with Katrina, we saw that things like this get a lot of publicity at first. But as the days and weeks go on, people and pain are forgotten as we go back to our own overcrowded lives.
I invite you to come to come to a special meeting at 5:00pm this Sunday in the CLC to pray for the people affected and those on the ground giving aid and also to share ideas of how we can come together for a second wave of care. Ken Fifer and other members of the Outreach Committee will host this time.
Right now you can go to www.northwestbible.org and click on the Outreach link to see a list of ministries and organizations that are taking donations to aid the people and relief efforts in Haiti if you are interested in giving a personal gift. Let’s join together to reach out to this lost and broken part of the world with the love of Christ.
In Him,
Neil
