July 20: Haitian prayer requests


Once I arrived at Pastor David's house, half the team was ready to walk around the neighborhood and meet our neighbors. We went a few houses down and knocked on the door. Zick was our interpreter. We met "Sumen." She is a kindergarten teacher, and she is pregnant. When asked for prayer requests, she thanked God. She asked for a good day for the baby's birth and prayer for her husband. When talking about what happened on January 12, she said it was a favor of God. The house was made of tin; she was in the kitchen. Praise God that my family is well. If I'm alive, no matter if the entire world collapses. There was minimal damage to the house.

Next, we met Jonas, his wife, and two sons. He is a primary school teacher. His son Junior is 9; Carey is 8. He knows they are smart; he hires a tutor to help them. Jonas and his wife asked for prayer to strengthen their spiritual life and to have more unity with each other in marriage. Jonas said, Every family has different needs--if spiritual life is healthy, they can ask God.

What commentary could I possibly add? Their faith is captured beautifully by their prayer requests. Please join me in praying for them.
