With many many missionaries leaving Haiti, sometimes we feel “abandoned” or overwhelmed. We always thought that our country, or some other country, or even the UN would send in a strong “force” with “overwhelming power” to combat these gangs and these evil people here. They are “demonic,” and nothing can change them…

Sometimes, we have felt “abandoned” by our own country, because we are here representing the United States, which is supposed to be the greatest country in the world. Although many missionaries have left because they had to, still there is a cluster that “tarry by the stuff.” We have learned to trust the Lord in the worst of times and to keep on doing what we are called. So, I just turned to this verse in Nahum… “The Lord is GOOD, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.” – Nahum 1:7

We have a greater force “with us” that we “cannot see,” and we are accompanied round about with an innumerable accompaniment of angels! You may feel like you have been “abandoned” by someone, maybe that you love, but you are not alone!!! God is on our side! We love you and have a great day.
