Mission Possible in Haiti

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

By now you have likely seen at least some of the horrific news footage of the devastation unfolding in Port-au-Prince, the capital of , after the city was hit with a 7.0 earthquake. It is estimated that the death toll could be in the tens of thousands.

This afternoon my heart was breaking as I watched a video update of a terrified little girl who was desperately crying for her mother and father as she lay trapped under the wreckage. The reporter made sure to share that sending a Bible through a crack in the rock was one of the first “lifelines” extended. We pray that God will show Himself strong on her behalf.

While we thank God for ALL the relief workers who are sacrificing themselves to help bring various forms of relief and rescue to the Haitian people, I would also humbly draw your attention to one particular missions organization that God has been using powefully in for a number of years called (MP).

MP President, Kurt Bishop, candidly shares his heart as follows:

“This is a very tragic time for . is doing everything we can within the limitations of communications and the scale of disaster.”

As local missionaries, it’s times like these that we can feel as helpless as the rest of the world in the wake of disaster. However, with God there is always hope. Please click here to visit and bookmark MP’s site and begin to pray for rescue, relief, and of all those involved with this terrible tragedy.

In Him,
