A month ago I was in Haiti for a Signs & Wonders Festival with Mission SOS. And the event was a success for the Kingdom of God. Looking back now, we can see how God’s favor was all over the event. We had clear skies the week before the festival and only a couple of short rains the week of the event. Since we left, Haiti has been hammered with rain; downpour after downpour.
You have probable also read the news about the Cholera outbreak all over the nation. And as if an earthquake and a Cholera epidemic is not enough, Haiti was hit by hurricane Tomas a few days ago. Honestly, I have no clue how the Haitian people survive. It must be that built in survival mentality that God has deposited within us in creation. Mankind has always, in all times been fighters and we survive disasters, wars and almost everything that life throws at us.
Monday afternoon, the day after the festival was over, Pastor Elius Michel came to the festival ground and was given permission to use two Unicef tents as a make shift church building. He had around 50 people show up. They became his new church. Today, a month later, Pastor Elius meets around 200 people daily in his church. These people had no hope a month ago. Then Jesus came to their camp and gave them hope. The gospel is such a beauty. To see how lives are transformed by the power that it contains. There is nothing else that carries the power to change a prostitute and make her a fine lady or make a street boy a gentleman. They also handed out school benches from the newly started church... Benches that were donated in Norway to the people of Haiti. A big thank you from the people of Haiti to the people of Norway.
God’s love is poured out to people all over the globe and he wants and needs us to be his vessels and channels. Are you ready to be a channel for God’s love and compassion?
