I’ve noticed that everyone likes to talk about Faith. There are so many books written about it and so many messages in Church about it. I have come to believe simply, that Faith is an action word.

Today, Pastor Varius came to see me. He is a sweet and humble Haitian Pastor who now has a small church in Petionville, Haiti. We have known him for a long time because he first pastored the Love A Child Church here at Fond Parisien.

He had come for a pallet of the Feed My Starving Children food. He shares it with his congregation. But, this was his third trip here because the gangs are so bad on the streets, that as of right now, at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, we have not even gotten our container back yet. There are now four sets of gangs between us and the next big town, Croix-des-Bouquets.

I explained to the Pastor that we could not give him any food because we don’t have it to give until our driver gets our container back, and then goes to Port and goes through those gangs to pick up our food. He smiled and timidly said, “By faith, the driver will get here, because I will pray!” I looked at him and said, “Yes Pastor, but Casimi the driver said that he would really love it if a Pastor with lots of faith would go with him and sit beside him in the driver’s seat and pray him through the gangs!”

I saw the look of fear in his eyes as he quietly said, “I will pray for him from home.” I insisted, “You will be fine. You just need to sit beside him up front and have faith!” After looking at the nervous shock in his eyes, I said, “I’m only teasing. I just wanted to see if your faith had any action!”

We all need to have some “action” with our faith! We are serving a big God and He is able to deliver us! Have a great day.
