The Bible teaches us if we make our calling and election sure and do these things, we will never fail. Peter 1:10
The calling of God is real. If we stay faithful to what God has called us to do, we will not fail. If we are truly called, no devil or anyone can stop us!
In Haiti, we’ve been in the middle of two gangs shooting at each other with bullets flying by. We’ve been surrounded at one time by 1,000 gang people trying to open our vehicle to get to us. The most recent… 15 gang members stopped our vehicle, pulled our driver out by his neck, and pulled him down the alley. I told the security in the front passenger side seat to slide over and drive out of here now. As we pulled off, two of the gang members opened fire just three feet away!
Thank the Lord I drive an armored car. The bullets bounced off! Twenty minutes later, here comes our driver to our Orphan’s home where we live. He said when the gangs found out we were Love A Child, they let him go. He said they were sorry.
Voodoo people are always trying to put a curse on you. One night, deep in a village, a Zombie tried to take us out of our hut to make a Zombie out of us! We are living in a dark land surrounded by evil.
I’ve been in Haiti broke, with no money and very few friends. Many mornings, I would wake up wishing I was dead. Through all this, Sherry and I, we can’t give up! The burning of the calling of God and the love for the Haitian people keeps us going forward! The reward has been much greater than the sacrifice. It’s a joy to say yes to Jesus!
The devil is doing his thing, but God is doing a bigger thing in Haiti!!
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Thank you for your encouraging words on Facebook and when you write. You will never know what it means to Sherry and I.
