Following

“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow, me.” Mark 10:21

-Jesus

A couple of weeks ago I was catching up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while and the first thing he asked me was, “Dude, when are you going back to Haiti?”

I didn’t think much about it at the time.

During Christmas break I received a newsletter from the missionaries I stayed with in Haiti last spring break. They mentioned need for short term and long term volunteers. I began to think about Haiti and my experiences their and wanted to look into going back.

Then the earthquake happened.

I prayed for the people of Haiti, and prayed for ways in which I could help.

I received an email from Nazarene Compassionate Ministries about sending relief supplies to help aid Haiti. The address listed to send the items was in Miami Florida, I looked it up and it was a local Nazarene Church. I made a few phone calls and spoke with the Pastor down there who also runs a rehab center for men.

I called Seth over to my house to tell him the news, when he walked in the door, I said, “dude Haiti, we should help.” Hey had thought the same thing and was just about to tell me about what he heard on the radio about Haiti.

So know I’m following after God, and trusting in his direction. I don’t know how long we will be in Miami. I don’t know the work we will be able to do, I don’t know if we will eventually go to Haiti.

I do know I’m trusting in Jesus as a disciple following his ways.
