True Love Live August 23, 2010

Words of the Day: Open Doors

Yesterday morning, I (Sarah Carlson) arrived safely with TRUE LOVE LIVE into Port-au-Prince Haiti, into the HOT- humid- morning air. I had a friend, Carmelo, from the Gospel Fire Ministry inside the airport (which is unheard of) ready to usher me back into this beautiful country. It was a difficult process leaving family and friends and even though I sat by myself in the airport I didn’t feel alone:) I have the sandwich of support behind me and ahead of me. I am not sure what God has in store but he is already reminding me that HE IS IN CONTROL.

TRUE LOVE LIVE IS ALIVE!!!! & God continues to open doors!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Not after one day in Haiti True Love Live began to connect and continue the relationships as the doors begin to open:

True Love Live has been reconnecting with Gospel Fire and Uni Techo Para Mi Pais to be able to bring more assistance and love out to Camp Canaan. We are hoping to raise support to bring shelters out to the tent city for a school, medical clinic, and a church.

I just got off the phone with Jonathan Shapiro who was helping us sell a car to raise money to buy a car here in Haiti.  He just informed me that the car was sold for $3,500. In order for us to get a reliable car we will have to raise around $1500 but we are already more than half way:) This is new and exciting news!!!!

On a side-note: The new teaching job is exciting and very challenging. My role as an ESL teacher could change to an 8th grade teacher and my classroom is still needed to be set-up. Lots to do in so little time:)  Morning Star Christian Academy has been taking care of me and I feel very loved here.

PRAY:

-God will provide a means to a end (with transportation). This is a huge necessity as we begin to make more and more connections with organizations.

-Support for the shelters in Camp Canaan

-Wisdom and Discernment

Thanks for your love,

Sarah Carlson
