Here are the needs
Hey everyone. It's been a great day of prayer and fasting. For those of you who were able to join us, thank you.
At the end of this day of prayer and fasting, I received the list of materials we need to repair the school building in the Dominican Republic. The need is great, but we serve a great God. The total cost for repairing the school and shipping food to Haiti will be around $10,000.
That's a lot of money for us, but we know God will provide. Please continue praying for these two very important outreaches. If you are able to give financially to help us raise money for these two life-changing opportunities please do so. If you know people who can help, please tell them about it.
God is doing so much all around the world, and I thank God that He is working through Love In Action here in the U.S. and in other parts of the world.
As I have been writing about recently, God has opened up two great doors in the Caribbean to minister and help those who can't help themselves. We now have contacts in Haiti, who we can ship food and other supplies to and they will make sure the people who need it will get it.
So many people in Haiti are in dire need of food. You have read and seen the reports of how devastated Haiti is after four hurricanes within the past month have pummeled the tiny island. Many of the people were already starving and malnourished before the hurricanes. Now the situation is worse. God has opened a door for us to help.
The other great opportunity is in the Dominican Republic. We can help establish a school in one of the small villages in the Dominican. The school would serve 162 children. We can help provide them with an education and food for at least one good meal a day. We may also be able to feed up to 900 people a day in that same village. It will be a continuous project, but the school building is in bad need of repair before the children can begin school.
Here is more good news about God's provision. As it turned out, we are going to have to pay rent on our warehouse. But the cost of the rent is definitely an awesome deal. It is $150 a month. However, a wonderful brother in the Lord has committed to paying the rent for us. That just leaves the utilities and insurance. God is so awesome!
I know I've said it and written it a million times, but Martha and I are so excited about what God is doing. It's so humbling and so awesome. God is awesome! That's still the best word in the English language I have found to describe God, but it doesn't even come close to really describing our God.
Thank you for your prayers and for your support.
Please go to our Web site at www.loveinactionministries.com for more information about these two awesome opportunities and about our upcoming outreach to the homeless in Atlanta.
Thank you again and God bless.
