2 Weeks and Counting!

Time is flying by as we prepare to leave for a new home in NW Haiti. Although there seems to be so much to accomplish before we leave, we need to pause and trust in the Lord that we will get done what He wants us to get done. Nothing more, nothing less. There is great peace in Jesus and we need to realize that He provides the peace and contentment in all our lives. We can rest in Him, if we let Him rest in us.

Below is a short picture video that Gail and I put together when we first felt the call to Haiti (many of you may have already seen it). I have been criticized from a couple people about this video. They say I'm just showing the 'poverty' of the country and only showing 'hurting' people in it. I suppose there is room for that argument unless you understand the intention of the clip.

Gail or I took all the pictures in it. We didn't go 'hunting the internet' for sad images as I was accused of doing. We have met all the people in it. I could take you to almost every child that is shown. These are 'real' people with 'real' needs. Many of them, if not all of them, are either hurt, hungry, in extreme poverty, in desperate need of love and affection, or all of the above. Here is a passage that Gail gave to me a couple years ago. I still carry her hand written note of it in my bible.

 Isaiah 58:10-11 (NIV)

¹⁰ and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
    and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
    and your night will become like the noonday.
¹¹ The Lord will guide you always;
    he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
    and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
    like a spring whose waters never fail.

If you watch this video below, please keep Christ in mind and the need He has shown us.

Gail and I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support! We pray that God will bless you as you have blessed us.

In His Service,
Chuck & Gail Guerber

The Countdown to Haiti - One Month!

As of this writing, we are one month away from the move to the Northwest of Haiti! Seems like so much to do and get done. Our trust is in the Lord.


Our goal is to pipe water across this area
 

We are grateful that Ken and Mary Challis will be joining us for the first month. An extra hand or two will be a blessing! We will be going into Haiti on October 15 with a few guys from Global Compassion Ministries. Ken and I will help them get water to a small village. There is water a couple miles away up the hill, but our intention is to put in a cistern and pipe it to a church that Living Water Ministries built a few years ago. It would be such a blessing for them to not have to carry water miles a day.

Earlier this month, we met with the board of Global Compassion Ministries out of St Charles, MO. We had a great time! Thank you Global Compassion.


Four area pastors (Not the guy in the middle)!
 

We look forward to working with the four pastors and churches that Living Water Ministries planted. Their jobs are not easy, but they all have great hearts! Please keep them in your prayers.

As we move forward, we thank you for your prayers and support. Our goal is to keep you updated on what God is doing in the lives of the people of Northwest Haiti. So stop back here often, or sign up along the right hand side of this web page and you will be notified when we put a new posting up. Thank you and God bless!
