Enjoying the Presence and Following the Lead of the Lamb

Relatively smooth traveling today! Only a small delay on the runway in Fort Lauderdale, but no sweat.

We gave Moise, Francoise, their kids, and Samuel hugs within the first few hours in PAP, and each hug refreshed to us the reality that the family of Christ spans across the ocean.  It is a reminder to us that we have family across all the oceans and all the seas, on all continents.

It is a reminder that someday we will have family from every corner of the globe, from every people group on the planet.  Christ has already purchased them (Rev. 5:9-10), and he calls us to participate in their conversion and turning to the Savior and following Him (Matt. 28:19-20).  There are many in Haiti that the Lord will redeem so that they can worship him for eternity. Our desire is to play a part in that this week here in Haiti.

May the Lord become greater and we become less (John 3:30).  This is not about LCF Haiti.  This is not about Source de la Grace.  This is about the King of the universe being worshipped in spirit and truth.  He deserves the praise.  We want to submit to him and participate in his plan this week.  And may it all end in worship, glory, and honor to him.

We spent some moments worshipping and praying this evening with Moise and Francoise.  Bev exhorted us to "keep in step with the Spirit" (Gal. 5:25) this week.  Man what a week it will be if we can do that!  He leads the way, we fall in line.  He calls the shots, we obey willingly.  Lord give us the grace and strength to do that!

We are headed to bed after a long day.  Tomorrow we are excited to spend several hours with the leaders of SDLG at the beach, and hopefully to see the children at SDLG.  Pray for God to be pleased with the unity of his family and for disciples to be made in Haiti.

(So the team all deferred to me to do the blogging tonight, and this about turned into a sermon.  If they continue to defer to me, you all might get a seven-part sermon series this week!  So some of you might want to add to your prayer items a request that others step up to the plate!)

We love you and cherish your participation with us and the family of Christ in Haiti.
