The news feed is constant about the devastation  in Haiti this week. This country has been hit with yet another catastrophic event. Yesterday all day I prayed for those I know who are over there not knowing if they were safe or okay. The word came in the night that yes indeed those 4 men of God who have such a heart for missions are safe and are trying to get home. I was so thankful for their safety and their families who had been anxiously awaiting to hear from them. And yet, their are still thousands of people over there, who are in need. I pray now for the recovery and rebuilding process. That those who don't know Jesus will find him in the midst of rubble and despair.

I also pray that we will remember all of those in need around us. I am guessing that right here in most of our backyards are people who are desperately needing some Hope. Some of them are without jobs, without food, without healthy relationships. Some without a knowledge of who Jesus is.

This is not an either or situation. We as Christians have a mission. We are to pray, help and preach the Gospel to all the world. Our hearts should break for those in Haiti, and if you can help them by sending funds to help with the relief efforts, you should. If you can go and help an organization helping the people there, then you should. And we should all pray for them. And we should also look beyond our own four walls and help those who are right in front of us hurting, seeking, searching, and wishing for some peace and Hope in their lives. Be the hands and feet of Jesus today to people in your community, your nation and your world!
