what to say...

Things have been quiet on the blog for the last two weeks... it was two weeks ago that our world changed. A lot of thoughts and emotions have been going through our hearts and heads these last two weeks. It's been difficult to process and make sense of it all. Anything I write doesn't really do justice to what is going on in Haiti. Hearts are broken, bodies are hurting, people are starving, people are thirsty, people have no homes, there is fear... fear that the building is going to collapse around you, fear that you won't find food or water, fear because people have no idea what lies ahead... where will they go? what will they do? Life as they know it has changed forever. In the middle of this is the need for the gospel, people need to know that Jesus loves them, He died for them and we are all in His Grip of Grace. Please continue to keep Randy and his team of young men, Cadeau, Samuel, Max, Yder and John in your prayers. They are working hard, they are hurting, they are fearful, yet they know the Love of Jesus Christ and because of that they continue to press on.
The team right now is focusing on water purification as well as trying to collect food to hand out to students of Adoration as well as locating students and staff. All of these tasks are time consuming and essential. Please continue to pray for these efforts.
And Randy was able to send over some pictures today of what they have been up to. The first pic up top is Randy talking with an Adoration student and finding out the needs of their family.
