Join us as we visit Old Letant, where Bobby and Sherry deliver food and clothes to a village grappling with poverty. Witness the story of a courageous, young girl, who takes on the tasks and responsibilities of an adult to aid her family after losing her father. The crisis in Haiti grows bigger by the day. Still among Haiti’s deepening crisis, their stories of resilience, faith, and hope, highlight God’s power and ability to provide a beacon of light in a time of darkness.

Love is something you do!

Stand, when all and everyone is against you…

The story of Job is a great story in the Bible. The story was written even before the Bible. In Job’s day, he had no Christian radio, Christian TV, or even a Christian church to attend… No Christian books or any literature to read. He only believed in an invisible God. All of the other people worshipped idols built by the hands of man.

Satan hated Job! I want to encourage you this week to read the book of Job. Satan told God, “If you take all of Job’s blessings away, then Job will not serve you.” You know the story… Job lost everything. He lost 500 oxen, 7,000 sheep, houses, family… He lost everything.

On top of this, Job was smitten with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head. “And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.” (Job 2:8)

Job’s own wife told her husband, “Curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9)

All of Job’s friends had left him; everyone. Yet, in the middle of all of this, Job said, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.” (Job 19:25-26)

The Lord brought Job through his trial… “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters.” (Job 42:12-13)

The Lord gave Job a “double portion” of what he had lost. The Lord is about to do the same for you!

We go through washing machines like you can’t believe! We have a couple of “retired” ones sitting in the cement area by our driveway. I could not understand why we go through so many washing machines. We bought most of them in the Dominican Republic and I thought they were good.

We have about 80-plus people here and that is a lot of laundry! But, we have always had lots of laundry. With us today, are Rodna, Zoey, and Ericka. They never complain about washing clothes by hand… so, what was the problem with the washing machines?

I have recently had to send someone out to buy “likid” or “liquid.” This is a washing liquid that the ladies had been using for washing dishes and certain clothing items. But I just realized that they had been dumping a cup of the cheap stuff into the automatic washing machines, “which makes lots of suds” but causes the washing machine to have a heart attack!

Haitians do not understand that “just a little bit” can do the trick! They had been dumping a lot of the cheap “likid” (liquid) into our machines! Wow! That was the problem! I had to send someone across the border and into the Dominican Republic to get the real “laundry detergent” for automatic machines! So, in the meantime, I have substituted three of my “automatic girls” for three of the washing machines that have gone out! Ha!!!

Stay on course:

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith…” 11 Timothy 4:7 – Apostle Paul said these words. I’ve gone too far to turn back now!

It’s important to stay on course, keeping our eyes on Jesus. So many circumstances and people try to pull us off course.

Don’t be discouraged, stay on course! Read verse 8 and look what we will receive!

LET JESUS’ LIGHT SHINE!

“Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

If you set a city on a hill, all will see the city when the lights are on. If we light a candle, we don’t put it under a box but on a candlestick. This way all in the house will have light. When we do good works, all will see the light of Christ. Here in Haiti, when we feed the poor, clothe the naked, and help those who are sick, people see what the Lord is doing. Glorify the Lord! Let your light shine before men, that they may see Jesus!
