| Trail Leading To Bwanef |
I know that if you are reading these devotions then you have
a heart for God. Rather than write a
devotion today, I am going to share some information with you. What you may not
know is that our ministry, Pathfinder Mission, is supporting the building of
single family dwellings in the Western region of Haiti. We are working with 7 churches and
communities. I just received an email
from a young pastor, Anderson Jeune, from Anse du Clerc Haiti. He is managing
the identification of the families to be helped and the construction that is accomplished
with Haitian workers. The houses are
simple, but offer shelter for the families and sanitation since we are also building
a toilet and rain catch system with each home. The Spirit prompted me to share his email with you.
{PASTOR ANDERSON} “Hello my brother. I told you that the
mass-raising work will begin this week. But there is another problem. Since the
beginning of the week the rain does not cease to fall at the level of the
department of Grand'Anse, the road to go to Bwanef is impracticable declared
the boss mason, it could not work under the rains. Here again there is another
delay in the work of Bwanef. If the weather is fine the boss mason will work by
the weekend because we can not waste materials because of the rain. I think you
will understand me because I can not do anything about this situation. If [it] were
[up to] me the houses should finish already because there are many kind who
sleep in the rain and they need our help. They rely on God and you because they
have no other people to help them. I hope God through you will deliver them
from this painful misery by helping them get out in the rain especially during
this rainy season that begins this weekend. May God give you strength, courage
and money to help them and in return he will bless you and your family and all
the people who help you in this important project”
Bwanef was ravaged by the hurricane Matthew. We have been trying to rebuild the pastor’s
house there. Bwanef is on the top of a mountain and getting building materials to Bwanef
has been very difficult because of the rain and the fact that the donkeys the
people of Bwanef used for transporting supplies from the valley were killed in
the storm. (We have identified 11 families who lost donkeys in Matthew for whom we will purchase adult donkeys . .something that is out of their reach)
I am sharing this with you to ask you to pray for the people
in this region. The Haitian children
sing a song “Bondye pa bliye mewn, Li konnen nomn m’” God has not
forgotten me. He knows my name. I am not asking you for money .. I ask God to
provide that. I am asking for your
spiritual support for the people “who are sleeping in the rain”
Thank you and Bondye Beni’w – God Bless You.
