My church, Immanuel Bible Church has always been very involved with missions. I myself have been on five trips myself. Twice to Mexico, once to India and Louisiana, and in Camden,NJ; where we usually go about every three months or so. Other places where our church goes is Romania and Haiti. Romania and Haiti have been the two consistent trips, the Romania team will be leaving in a few months, and the Haiti team is leaving in two weeks. Usually when our team goes to Haiti they help build a church and just do general construction in Cap Haitien.
This trip had been planned since the beginning of summer I think. This time they were going to install windows in the church they built, so that's where most of the money was going. Until the earthquake happened. Yesterday morning at church a member of the team, gave a testimony on how God is working with the team and in Cap Haitien with the church they work with.
He was telling us how their mission has changed from installing the windows to obviously helping the earthquake victims, and how God is providing ways to make this trip very helpful to the Haitians. At first the team wanted to go into Port Au Prince he said, but after they spoke with Pastor Codo, they decided to go to Cap Haitien, because everyone from Port Au Prince is going to Cap Haitien according to Pastor Codo. Ok, back to how God is working. The mayor of our town, offered to give the whole team first aid training for free! Also if they choose American Red Cross first aid training, American Red Cross said that they would pay for the flight tickets! How awesome is God! That money can go towards buying more medicine etc. Ohh there's more...obviously if they are leaving in two weeks, they have already bought the tickets. Apparently there is a new rule now, that you can only check in one luggage. Well...Continental Airlines called and said they would allow our team to bring two extra luggage's per person. So that's three pieces of luggage! They will definitely stuff those luggage's.
While I was listening to him speak I just had goose bumps, and felt a connection sort of. I don't know how or why but I truly felt for those people. Like, God is providing and opening sooo many doors for our team so that they may go to Haiti and show the people of Haiti, how great, awesome, and loving our God is! So just pray for our team as they leave in two weeks and the Haitian people as they recover.
