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
