The Strength and Faith of The People of Haiti 10 Weeks after the Hurricane
Tonight on 60 Minutes there was an amazing and also disheartening story about the current state of the Haitian people. In the opening images it was just stunning to see that after 10 weeks people are still walking around the streets amongst the rubble. 10 weeks and rubble remains everywhere.
10 weeks later it is all but gone from the news and our minds…it is becoming a distant part of our lives that is only stimulated when we see the state of Haiti put before our eyes.
I am writing this post to raise awareness to all Christians around the world to stay vigilant about praying and also supporting whatever causes that you contribute to for Haiti.
I find it amazing that all the money that was raised, and yet tonight I witness this segment from 60 minutes and the crisis is still huge. Many children are still trapped under the rubble of the 5000 schools…YES 5000 schools that collapsed as Children where attending school.
Many children are now without parents…orphanages are overflowing…
But even worse is the fact the many children will be scooped up and used in the child slavery system that un-benounced to me is actually LEGAL in Haiti.
I hope you watch this entire video and tonight and everynight you pray for the children of Haiti and the fate that they face on a daily basis.
It is really hard to watch this and not be stirred to do more…
I want to do more…
God, provide everyone of us with the heart for the children of Haiti and give us strength to do what we all can collectively to make a difference in this situation.
God please bless my business and show me what you want me to do. Part of me just wants to be super financially successful so I can put all of what my daily life is now and go to Haiti to live permantly to work with the children of Haiti who are suffering, hungry, and tramatized and need love…
Through the entire process of the unfolding of the earthquake in Haiti, one thing has remained constant, and that is the powerful faith of the people. The story above shows a faith that is the faith that Jesus talked about. If your son was missing for 6 weeks, how would you be living day to day? Well, in this story we see a man, a pastor with UNSHAKABLE faith who is taking care of hundreds of children and in the midst of the earthquake his son was missing and ended up being buried in the rubble of one of the 5000 schools that were destroyed in the earthquake.
Listen closely to what he says about this…his response is simply a testament to an unshakable faith.
