Here are some of my thoughts on Haiti and specifically how God prepared the team and I for our trip. It was (and still is) an incredible journey of seeing God move and work. I hope that you'll come back throughout the next few weeks to read my blogs on Haiti as we will continue to post them every few days. You'll also be hearing from some of the members of the team and what God did in and through them as well.
Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
About a month after
my fast and vision experience, I was invited by Scott Avey’s father, Tom, to
come to New York City. Our host
while we were there was Mac Pier.
Mac took us to two very influential churches in the Big Apple: Redeemer and the Christian Cultural
Center. While Marc and I were
eating lunch, I shared the vision God gave me to transform the city of
Belladere by dehydrating mangoes.
Marc’s gift is putting people together. He gave me the name and email of the leader of the NY
Leadership Institute on Haiti. His
name is Tom Nolan.
Tom and I began
emailing and talking on the phone.
It wasn’t long before I was hearing about initiatives happening all
around Haiti. I would learn
about plastic recycling centers enabling Haitians to earn money gathering
discarded plastic. I would learn
about Haitian workers building chicken houses all over Haiti. I would learn of the Soleil Group
building a solar power dehydrated mango plant in the central region. I would meet Dave Genzling with
Partners Worldwide who had been involved as an engineer with mango initiatives.
It was occurring to
me that Tom was opening a door to let me see how God is moving in Haiti’s
direction. I was seeing the heart
of God showing compassion to the Haitians. I was meeting people with the very same heart.
It was becoming clear
to me that the problems of Haiti were too big for any of us to solve
alone. But, the problems were not
too big for God. God is bigger
than the problems they face. If we
get next to God’s heart and release God’s love and power, great breakthroughs
will happen.
