I have never been to Haiti, but I really want to go.  It’s an incredibly poor country and I think the opportunities for ministry are tremendous there.  I would love to go and try to add a little laughter to the lives of the children there–after the recent earthquake, it seems that there is great need in Haiti.  As I look at the news and see the devastation, it seems really unbelievable.

While I was in Kenya several years ago, they were experiencing little earthquakes.  We never felt anything, but were totally blown away when the news media there said that a big earthquake would devastate that huge city because the buildings were so poorly constructed.  We saw builders holding up sides of buildings with sticks waiting for the cement to dry.  I am sure Haiti’s construction is much the same.  We need to be praying hard for the people of Haiti, not only now but for years to come.
