Every time I look at the coverage of the earthquake devastation in Haiti my heart drops. I don't just ache at the loss of life or the loss of material possessions or the broken bodies still waiting for enough medical supplies to treat their wounds. I also ache every time a broadcaster says, "to this already devastated country." Yes, Haiti had 80% unemployment before the earthquake. Almost 10% of the population tested HIV positive before the quake. Hunger and poverty was a reality before the quake. There was a degree of loss of life, loss of material possessions, and broken bodies waiting for enough medical supplies to treat their wounds before the earthquake. Before the quake the degree of pain was massive compared to what we consider pain and trials in this country. There are a few called to understand and attempt to meet the needs of those hurting in what we describe as Third World countries. We call them Missionaries. Perhaps you heard that term as the focus was to make sure all American missionaries were accounted for, treated, and returned to the states immediately following the earthquake. Missionaries gather whatever they can through different means to feed, clothe, medically treat, and spread the love and word of Christ to these impoverished communities and countries that don't receive attention and barely receive aid until it is a catastrophe such as we are seeing in Haiti. While we must do what we can to help our Haitian brothers and sisters, please remember to support the missions ministry at your church, in your community, or individual missionaries such as myself and my daughter in their efforts. There are still more that need us to be a blessing. Some live on the other side of the 10 foot concrete wall of the plush island resort you may have vacationed at recently. Support with donations. Help collect KJV bibles. Transfer your bonus frequent flier miles to someone going on a missions trip. Everything helps. Please support missions work throughout the world and throughout the year.
