Hi Marcia,
I see that you have indicated that you might attend the Haiti Journey of Compassion June 13-25. It would be very good to have you with us. A remarkable door of opportunity has opened up for us to really impact the lives of several thousand people who have still not been able to get help. I hope you will join Christina & I.
Here is something I wrote a few days ago about Haiti:
We all know that the earthquake in Haiti was one of the most devastating in modern history. Reading the statistics can be overwhelming–240,000 killed, 1.3 million homeless, over 500,000 still living on the streets, who knows how many children orphaned and traumatized?
But a remarkable door of opportunity has opened for us to reach about 4,000 people who are in the epicenter of the destruction and have not received any NGO or government help. We may not be able to help a million people, but we can help these thousands.

If ever there was a need that we can do something about, this is it. Perhaps more than any other time I can remember, this is our opportunity to live out the power and reality of the Gospel through a Journey of Compassion. We have room for 50 people. I wish we had room for hundreds. We can both BE the hands & feet of Jesus, AND minister to Him (Mt 25:40)––in fact, I feel that authentic faith means we must.
The sacrifice of our time, money, schedules and preferences is worth the lives of the Haitians.
“If not now, then when? If not us, then who? If not this, then what?”
