God is Still in Control

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10

As most of you have heard, a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti. My wife Mindy and I have family and friends there, so this news has truly left us in a state of shock. Currently, I (David) still have one cousin who has not been located. Please pray.

During our personal times of prayer we felt the Lord tugging our hearts to go to Haiti. Due to this tragedy, Mindy has postponed full-time nursing school. We immediately began to prepare ourselves for going either short-term or long-term to Haiti. However, as the days (which feel like months) have passed, God made clear that we are to go, but not now. Being patient has not been easy for us, but we know that the Lord's plans are better than ours, and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isa. 55:9).

We strongly urge you to give to world relief efforts towards the crisis in Haiti. This is a time when the children of God need to stick together. Please, keep Haiti in your prayers.
