Today started off with Dr.K preaching in one of the tent cities. There was a great turnout and the people were fed with God’s word, with a promise that we were going to hand out tickets to redeem at the mission house for food at 3 pm. 500 tickets were handed out and 1000 people showed up. They formed a nice line in an orderly fashion -“NOT.” No, not even close. They instead pushed, shoved and nearly tore down our doors. We managed to get through it with no injuries and a lot of prayers. It is a sad thing when people lose hope and fight over 2 pounds of beans or rice. This demonstrates the importance of the mission organizations and churches that are here and others that will be coming - it is important for people to be fed with the Word Of God. Christ is the only eternal hope. We should give food for the stomach while remembering that only with Christ will people be truly satisfied. Pray that we may continue to help physically and spiritually in Haiti – and continue to honor Christ in all we do.
Dr. K
I am praying that God will give you wisdom in your planning. That He will give you a clear understanding as to what you should do that would be most helpfull for the people. Along with others, we are praying you and your teams will be safe.
