I am so glad that Jesus promised to go with us wherever we go. Get it? He will never leave us. It's not up to us to get it perfectly. We never could. What a relief that the Lord goes with us; never leaves us. This is the kind of promise that gives us the strength to make trips into the hurting places of the world knowing we are not alone.
My husband Joe and I will fly into Port au Prince soon for an amazing mission of mercy to help displaced people who are either living in makeshift tent cities or (believe it or not) in the middle of the road in Carrefour Haiti. The median of the road is less than 10 feet wide. Huge trucks, cars and motorcycles trudge by all day and night causing dust storms and spewing exhaust. The people are living in structures constructed of pieces of tin roof, sheets, and tarps. If the children take 3 steps from their bed, they could be hit by traffic! It is unimaginable. We plan to walk the entire community, speak to every family and listen to their stories. Then we will distribute 2,000 meals and other gifts we have gathered for this group. We will report back when we return.
