Faith.... or Good Works?

In Haiti when you ask someone how they are they might answer, "M'ap debat," which means, "I am struggling". You who are reading this know something of the struggle our friends are going through. Right now there are so many shortages - food, medical supplies, and medical help. And there is so much good being done by so many people, for which I am thankful.

This morning I got a call from a local pilot who was asked by an organization called Bahamas Habitat to fly to Haiti to help bring supplies and doctors to remote areas. It seems that one or two of us might go down with him. I will let you know how that unfolds. We will donate the cost of the plane fuel for the trip down and back.

As of this blog, $20,000 has come into the church with more promised to help with emergency relief. We are so grateful for such an outpouring of love. Please pray for our friends in Haiti, many of whom feel desperate right now.

It seems that people are being brought from the mainland to the Wesleyan Hospital on Lagonave and the need there is also for food and medical help.

We are hoping that by Thursday the avenues will be open for significant funds to be wired to Service Christian and to Lagonave.

Which is more important - faith or good works? Answer this question: Which wing on the airplane is more important? . . . then you will know the answer. God bless.

Yours in Christ
George
