How have you been moved to respond to the crisis in Haiti?

I know this sounds strange, but seeing the crisis in Haiti has made me think also about the crisis in the middle east with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Those families that are innocent over there and caught in the crossfire between enemy lines and the guns of their own people has made me pray for them as well as the Haitians caught in the rubble that need food and water. I never gave them (the innocent families in the middle east) much thought before, but only until the Haiti crisis happened. I pray for the land of Haiti as well but also think of the crisis that is happening in the Middle East. I find both to be horrible predicaments that need everyones prayers and help.

I am reminded that God wants to work through us. We are called specifically, as God’s children, to love others. This is a love that goes beyond the verbal. It is a call to action to “show” love. For the majority of us who are unable to go to Haiti to help we can help by praying and supporting those who are able to go to Haiti. Here is one way to help…

She is down there now, working to help orphans and widows of Haiti, the citizens that the Haitian government and society hardly recognizes and doesn’t make an effort to support, but whom God loves no less than us.

Yes…I have donated and am trying to collect things to send via 2 colleagues who are Haitians. I am also praying and praising for the small miracles that are happening.

I have been moved to respond in ways greater than I had planned…
I had just left Haiti on the 31st of December on a missionary trip. We had actually considered making the trip from the 8th of January through that Tuesday but I preferred the Christmas holiday period since my children were out of school.
I was numb when I heard about the earthquake. The thought that I could have been there left me speechless. I reflected first on how thankful I was that God spared us and then I knew that helping Haiti is now my lifelong mission.
