Haiti Earthquake

What can we do to help? Few days after the huge and devastating blow in Haiti, I took a flight to Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) with two pastors and an elder from the Mission Committee of Southern California. When my family and friends heard about my trip to Haiti, everyone was concerned for the safety. "If I perish, I perish." Queen Esther's courageous confession came into my heart. By witnessing how much of the destruction caused my 7.0 magnitude earthquake in person was very different than watching from a television screen. It was a total chaos. The land below the surface had devoured the land above the surface like a starving lion. It was very difficult to define the form or shape of anything. Only the bite marks of a frantic and angry lion was visible. Unpleasant decomposed corpses were everywhere. Especially near the collapsed buildings and houses. Some of the disturbing images are posted on my facebook page. (www.facebook.com/richard.min3) The word "Hopeless" gradually made its move into my mind. How long will take for Haiti to recover from this disaster? I had no clue. A decade maybe... However I saw HIS hope in the eyes of Haitian children. They need our attention and care. Food, water and shelter are the most basic things they need right now, and in the long run, most importantly, they need good education and love of Christ. These children will rebuild and raise up Haiti. They will be "the next generation" Kingdom Builders! My sincere hope and prayer.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, 

       because the LORD has anointed me 

       to preach good news to the poor. 

       He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

       to proclaim freedom for the captives 

       and release from darkness for the prisoners, 

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor 

and the day of vengeance of our God, 

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion— 

to bestow on them a crown of beauty 

instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness 

instead of mourning, 

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair. 

They will be called oaks of righteousness

a planting of the LORD 

for the display of his splendor.

Isaiah 61:1-3
