These pictures are just a few of the ones taken by my friend Joel who has been going over and doing relief work in Haiti. This little boy was orphaned by the earthquake and now lives in a squatter camp.
Hello readers, all 7 of you! I wanted to tell you something that has been on my heart very heavily lately and see if any of you feel compelled to help me in this mission. I have a friend who is an amazing guy and leads a fabulous life that I could only dream of. He was a missionary to South Africa for several years, got married, came back to live in D.C. He does all sorts of exciting things from there too and still does lots of mission work. Well, he has been going to Haiti and helping the people try to get out of the complete desolation that the earthquake has left them in. He posts pictures on the internet of orphaned children and families living on the streets under sheets. While my heart just wants to go over there and adopt as many orphaned children as I can, my head tells me I should probably just do something feasible like send tents. There are several families living literally on the side of the road with sheets over them. Haiti is entering their rainy season and for a lot of these families that just makes their already hopeless reality seem even more desolate. I am on a quest to send as many tents as I can. Alot of these family have 7-8 members so we need big tents that cost about $250 a peice. All I am asking of you is to pray that these people will find Christ in the midst of their situation and get the hope and help that only He provides. Oh, and if you have a few extra dollars you want to send my way to help buy tents, that would be awesome too. My friend Joel will actually take the tents to Haiti and give them to people. Please join me in prayer for all of these people and as much support as God puts on your heart to give.
