Please Pray!

As I write this on Tuesday afternoon, August 26th, we are 10 days away from our departure from Louisville, KY for our mission in TiTanyen, Haiti with Global Outreach. Haiti has been on my mind much of the day as I think of what the people there are encountering as Hurricane Gustav slams into the southwest part of the country with 90 MPH winds and torrential rains. So much of the land has been de-forested to provide much needed charcoal for cooking, that when heavy rains come, the runoff becomes a powerful torrent that overflows streams and rivers and sweeps away all in its path, sometimes including human beings. Our contacts there, David and Judy, tell us that the primary cause of death with these storms is from drowning. Please pray tonight and in the coming days for the people of this impoverished nation... the poorest country in the western hemisphere... and one of the two poorest in the world! The needs there are great and your prayers really do make a difference! We will be writing more about this country, the needs there, and our mission in the coming days. Until then, God bless you as you lift up these people and our team! In His service,Jim
