Perseverance

TRUE LOVE LIVE UPDATE

WORD OF THE DAY: Perseverance

So much has been happening in the past week. Where to start?
Life has it’s ups and downs but the important thing is to keep your eyes on the prize. We all press on toward the prize to which Christ has called us to. TRUE LOVE LIVE is still working along side Gospel Fire and Generosity Water to bring clean drinking water and food out to Camp Canaan. As we return week after week it is a reminder of the reality of how most of the Haitian people are still living. Things have not changed and are going to continue to stay the same unless something huge takes place. Out in the tent city they sleep on the ground with what materials they have collected. When it rains the ground very quickly turns into mud.

Their shelters are close to nothing and they wear whatever clothes they can find.  Fighting over food and water is a daily occurrence…this is perseverance.  Life can get so distracting sometimes and we can forget just how blessed we are.

The earthquake is still so raw and so fresh in so many peoples minds. Just today I had a student ask if i felt the earthquake at 3 am last night or if the classroom will be okay because there is a crack in the wall.  Teachers at the school have lost loved-ones and there are even some teachers who have not returned as a result of January 12th.  This year is a new year and Haiti continues to persevere. Haitian’s are honestly some of the strongest people I know and they have the ability to persevere through some of the hardest times.

As TRUE LOVE LIVE continues to persevere along-side Gospel Fire we will continue to pray, seek guidance, ask for help, and take up the full armor of God against the enemy that so easily discourages so many of us. From Asia to Antarctica helping people and serving others is no easy task.  Finding people who are genuine and legitimate to do that job can even be even more difficult.

HUGE PRAISE we have been working more and more with Generosity Water and their connection here in Haiti called Operation Blessing. We went out with them and surveyed the land and the location of where we will be able to dig the fresh water wells. It has been a long process and it will continue to be a long process but with perseverance God is able to work. If you would like to help donate to help build a well out in Camp Cannan or just to see more about what is going on with the well please check out this link—–>
