We have had the word out for a couple weeks about the church in Haiti - their need for land and the goal of raising $30,000. Ever since Pastor Andre first told us of the large amount of money needed - I have to admit I have been a little concerned about whether or not we would be able to raise that much money. It has come to my attention over and over -- we CAN'T, but GOD CAN. We took a netbook [donated by a friend] to Pastor Andre in March so he has been able to communicate with us much more frequently. Shortly after our return from Haiti, in March, Pastor Andre told us about the lease on the current church land ending in July - we previously thought that the lease would end in December. We felt the urgency and leading of God to try to gather a big group of people that could help Pastor Andre. By this time -- those of you reading have probably seen my multiple emails and Facebook requests to give. We are so thankful for those of you who have given! We are almost at 5% of our goal. What I want to share with you today is how much Pastor Andre and his congregation are praying for YOU. See this isn't just a hand out -- to them [and very much to us] this is a partnership. A life on life relationship. They take it very seriously and Pastor Andre emails us often to tell us how much he is praying for us. I wanted you to see his words --
March 11 I'm very glad that you think about us in Haiti and you come to visit us. I thank God who puts us together. I believe that our relationship will come with positive things for all of us.Thank you for looking for the support to help us with the buying of the land for the church. I pray for that and I believe that our GREAT GOD will permit you to find the support to help us to purchase the land. March 24 I'm glad to send you these pictures to see the ministry as you know, the church, the children and the school. I love them . Please pray for me with the ministry. I love it, this is my job that God gave to me. thank you . March 29 It is an obligation for me to pray for you and Noel and all the supporters. April 6 May God bless you. I thank God about your progress. And I pray God every day for you in order to put in your way the generous people to help you in the project. About the july date don't be afraid. I know our Great God that saves us can send the money to buy the land. Only, we must pray to GOD. On April 6 -- I decided to heed Pastor Andre's advice. If in his day to day circumstances he is trusting God to provide surely I could trust our Great God to provide for them too. So -- we press on in TRUST. Believing God can do far more than we ask or even imagine. AND for my small part in the BIG GOD story -- I am asking you again...Please consider how you might be a part of the story!
