We have been hovering around 4% of our goal for about a week now...4%. The July date that Pastor Andre has been given for his lease to end on the land where they teach 80 kids school and about 200 people worship together is fast approaching. I run through the scenarios of - maybe God does not want us to raise this money for our Haitian friends. I give it to God knowing this is huge in my mind and a small thing for Him. As God often does in my life - today he surprised me...I am crazy about Him and He is about us - and about every one of those children in Haiti that we care so much about...He cares more. He loves more. And if we know how to give good gifts to those we love, how much more does He delight in giving to those He loves.
He renewed my hope today. I opened an envelope today from a stranger - someone who learned of the Titus Task last week from a friend's Mom - on a beach in Florida. The check inside had a small sticky note attached and simply read - glad to know about the Titus Task. The donation enclosed catapulted us toward our goal - we are now at 31%. We believe in God's powerful expression of LOVE! We believe in those children in Haiti! We believe in YOU! Will you believe in Haiti with us? Our goal is attainable. How long will it take us to get to $30,000? Give $10, $100, $1000 - more? ANYTHING - I would even add - BE GENEROUS - Our God is generous! You can't outgive Him! Please believe with us! It will take us ALL - but WE can do it TOGETHER! I love you friends, lori
