“Hands on the Plough”

Haiti is a country with many, many needs. First of all, it needs a good, “honest,” caring President! Secondly, it needs a “hand up” to get rid of the gangs and begin again. After the assignation of President Jovenel, things went from “bad to worse.”

Jobs are more scarce… the poor are getting poorer, and the rich are getting richer. What was once a wonderful country to bring missionaries, now, is considered a “Level Four,” “do not come,” with the Embassy. Haiti has many other problems… No jobs, no diesel fuel available, and much more. Yesterday, we nearly lost our lives just trying to make it from the Airport to our Orphanage…

So many would say, “Why don’t you just leave?”

When you serve in the military, you cannot just walk off the job. When your time is finished, you can make that decision. When there is a “calling on your life,” it is much different than “visiting a country” or volunteering for a few weeks or a month.

Jesus said it like this, “No man, having put his hands to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62

Until the Lord releases us, we are still “Boots on the Ground” and “Hands on the Plough.”
