Word from the Mission Field

Outnumbered!

Have you ever felt that way? Maybe the bill collectors are after you, you have people who are jealous of you, or you are in an impossible “no-win” situation… So, you feel that you are “outnumbered.” It may be a sickness that you are facing, and you feel “outnumbered…” But YOU ARE NOT!!!

We have felt this way plenty of times. Living here in Haiti for many years, we have experienced many times the feeling of being “outnumbered.” In Haiti, during President Aristide’s regime, we heard on the radio that it was told that the street people could go and “burn down the houses of the blan (foreigners).” Through the years, we have faced many obstacles in Haiti… Gangs in the street, gangs at our gate; impossible situations… We now face the “Papaya Gangs,” who are a short distance from us. They have stolen our clinic van, robbed our employees, beaten one of our midwives, and threatened even more… But, we are not “outnumbered!”

Even when we felt that we were “outnumbered” in the natural, there were always hosts of angels around us! The Lord is saying to you, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10)

So, if you are facing a difficult situation today, these scriptures are the Word of God, coming out of His mouth. And here is another… “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.” (Psalm 91:7)

Today, you simply cannot just see “how many are on your side.” You are not “outnumbered!” Greater is He that is you, than He that is in the world. You are on “the winning side!” Sherry
