The new year was barely underway when our eyes were turned to the disaster in Haiti. At the Ministry Service Center (MSC) here in Colorado Springs, we daily have updates on the situation from our emergency disaster team that arrived there the Friday after the quake. We have heard many wonderful stories of people helping people ….being the voice and hands of Jesus in the midst of such great tragedy.
For a week now, the Ecuador team of HCJB Global Hands has assisted at the Baptist Haiti Mission (BHM) hospital where local chaplains and those from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) circulate among the patients. The chaplains comfort those grieving and share the news that God is love, even in times of trial.
While being prepped for surgery at BHM, a 14-year-old, Marcelus, was evangelized by Cesaire Elusmond, a Haitian chaplain, and BGEA’s Jack Dowling. “Then and there, just minutes before going to surgery under HCJB Global surgeons, he prayed and gave his life to the Lord. As doctors were saving his life, Jesus was changing his heart,” said Martin Harrison, a water engineer who was present. “We give thanks for the miracles God is working each and every day,” the British engineer added, “not only saving lives, but changing hearts.”
As this new year of ministry begins, it is with great joy that I look back at God’s faithfulness, and the faithfulness of each of you who has partnered with me financially and in prayer for God’s work to continue around the world.
Thank you,
