I left home this morning in snow that made driving out of Central Iowa a little interesting for about 45 minutes. Then it wasn’t too bad, and closer to Omaha not bad at all.
As I write this I’m in Fort Lauderdale. God willing, sometime tomorrow I’ll board a private relief plane, donated for use by some company, and fly with a pilot who owns a landscaping business in New Jersey — Peter.
I received email today from our friend Jean Michel in Haiti. He indicates the general plan is for me to visit people in the hospital with an interpreter at my side. I probably will also visit people of the Methodist Church…and listen and learn.
I don’t know what exactly to expect at the hospital. I’m praying for a deeper love, and God’s strength and guidance.
Thursday through Saturday the Methodist Church in Les Cayes is presenting worship services. I’ve been asked to present a ‘devotional’ during these services, and specifically not the ‘sermon’. In other words, keep it short!
If the response from the people is that the services are helpful, the church may keep the services going after Saturday. I don’t know yet if these services will be inside the church building or outside.
I do know that people need comfort and hope. I can’t tell the people I know or understand what they are going through…but Christ understands.
Thanks for your ongoing prayers.
