The "D's" of the Devil are piling up!. First the concern over unrest that may occur the week before the election, then the cholera outbreak that is spreading so wildly. Then hearing that three cases were reported on La Gonave. Praise God they are isolated to the hospital in Ansagale.
The devil is working on us. Doubts about timing of the trip, Discouragement over the situation, possible Delay (postpone the trip?), Diversion (the weather is nice, great for sailing!)BUT, we will not give in to the last "D: which is Defeat. Praying every step of the way we have peace in our hearts about this trip. The leadership training, the Safe Water training, the Bible study are all so needed.
The devil=FEAR but GOD=PEACE!!!!!!
If God is with us, who can be against us?
Hey guys...we have had to postpone twice..Oct and Nov..We could not leave our daughter and MAF could not guarantee our flight back to PaP on return. Felt awful about the delay BUT during this time we have had some "God things" happen that make our trip in early Dec more productive. Like you we do not fear Cholera and we have endured hurricanes and earthquake. But God does put barriers in our path when there is a better time. We learned the Haitians adapt to delays, they understand them better than we do. Sometimes it is "God's time" that is more important than "our goal oriented" time. If you go, go with assurance it is "nature" created by God, you face NOT some evil demon. If you wait, wait with assurance God will put the time to good use. "Be still" often means "wait". God will clear the way and you will go without a doubt.
