Our Loved Ones in Haiti

Pastor Luc Joseph is a vibrant man, full of the Holy Spirit and a true blessing to every person he loves and serves. In recent days he has led may people, including all the children and workers from Christ's Compassion Orphanage through flood waters and all the trials that have come as a result of the hurricanes and severe storms. He represents and cares for many who are suffering. I cannot imagine what they have been through.

We ask you first of all to PRAY FOR OUR LOVED ONES IN HAITI.

Secondly, you can CONTRIBUTE TO RELIEF...

Max Wright from Greenfield, Indiana is seen above with children from the orphanage. He is World Renewal's faithful Haiti Representative. He has traveled there multiple times, and carries a burden for the pastors and people he serves. Pray with him about how each of us might best demonstrate the love of Christ to those in great need.

Max recently posted these photos on the WR Haiti blog. Gonaive is where Luc and his people live. Food, clean water and safe conditions are in short supply. Let these pictures remind you to pray for our Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ, asking how we might best help them in these difficult times.

FINISHED PRODUCTS in BRAZIL

Some of you have asked what the finished projects looked like from my June/July trip to Brazil with Kenny. Of course, my time there was cut way short by my father's death on July 4, so I did not get many pictures of my own (except the one you see below of an unfinished cabinet taken the day I left). Thanks to everyone who sent these to me in days since.

Our initial goal was to build as many multi-purpose units as posssible. We were putting in drawers and hanging doors when had I to leave after 10 days in Carpina. In the next 2 weeks, Kenny and our Brazilian friends finished the portable 14 cabinets I helped start, and built 5 stationary library shelves, a mobile display unit, and 2 desks and a set of shelves for school administrators. That was much more than we hoped for, and was an extra blessing for the ministry of World Renewal Brazil. God is so good and my friend Kenny is amazing.

ANOTHER VERY SUCCESSFUL MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Thanks to all of you who helped make it possible, and thank the Lord for blessing beyond what we even asked or hoped for.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE THAT BEARS REPEATING:

The ultimate goal of WRB is to glorify God by preaching the good news of Jesus Christ throughout northeastern Brazil, planting churches that reach out with His eternal love to every person in every community possible. That effort is growing and ongoing and involves multiple ministries that require various kinds of support. The result is that lives are changed both now and for eternity!

It is a privilege to serve the Kingdom cause, using our hands and hearts to help where we can. Thanks for equipping us to help equip them. Every contribution of any kind (time, talent, treasure) or size is greatly appreciated and pleases the Lord.
