Haiti on your heart?

Haiti is so heavy on our hearts right now.  I figure that's probably the case for lots of folks, so I thought I'd post a few links to websites that are relevant.  Pursue them at your leisure.  Pray for the people that are being the hands and feet of Jesus to the people of Haiti.

This is the organization that MCF has been supporting.  A group from our church went to Haiti this past May for a mission trip.

This is another organization working in Haiti.  They have established 2 children's homes and are currently working to distribute supplies that are sent to Haiti.

Here is a blog post by one of the ladies working with Joy in Hope.  If you don't cry when you read this, you might want to check your pulse...  http://www.mangine.org/2010/01/patricia-refugee.html

I love what the families working with Joy in Hope are doing.  There are two families.  They each are caring for about 20 children in a family home--much like a foster home.  The idea is that instead of adopting children from Haiti and bringing them to America, they are raising these children in a Christian home IN HAITI.  These children will grow up with a family, an education, and knowing Christ, and hopefully become part of the solution to Haiti's many troubles. 

Here's a post written by the other lady who is a mom in one of the family homes.  http://pyesinhaiti.blogspot.com/2010/01/get-it-out.html

And finally, I'll leave you with this link to a YouTube message from Mark Driscoll based on the time he spent in Haiti.  It's about 1 1/2 hours long.  I would encourage you to watch it--tissues in hand--prepared to fall on your face begging God to help you re-prioritize your life so that what breaks his heart will break yours. It will bring the Haiti situation into crystal clear focus for you.
