Hope in Haiti

As I watched the coverage of the tragedy in Haiti last night, I heard something that I didn’t expect. I heard a story of hope.

It turns out that a number of orphanages throughout the area had suffered extreme damage to their facilities, but none of the children had been injured. These were orphanages that are run and supported by Christians. I know that these beautiful kids were given more than financial support. These precious little ones were supported with prayer.

In the midst of death God saved a remnant that were sheltered and prayed for in the name of Christ.

All of the world will one day look like Haiti. Only those who are found in Christ will be saved.

Revelation 21:1–5 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”


Let’s all be in prayer for the precious people of Haiti.

Praying that the Lord will use this disaster to bring his beloved children in Hati back to himself. That he will provide, protect and restore them. That they will rise up as a nation blessed who love the Lord with all of their minds, souls and strength. Praying for workers....as the harvest is great!!!
