The Least

Job 29:12 - “I assisted the poor in their need and the orphans who required help.”
     I am so proud of my cousin, Deacon Arthur Houser, Jr., as he and his team are leaving on a missionary quest back to Haiti.  This is his third trip and each time he states how vital each return visit is to the lives of those living there.  Many changes have come about but they are slow in progression and often not enough to keep up with the staggering number of people still displaced.  These dedicated missionaries have their hands on the ‘gospel plow’ and are spreading the good news about Jesus through works and not just words. 
     Please keep him and his peacekeepers in your prayers.  They are taking lots of supplies but more importantly they are taking hope, faith and love to the people who are still suffering so much for so long.  Each time you can turn on the tap for fresh water; flush a toilet; open a cabinet and select something to eat or just look in a closet and claim you have nothing to wear – remember the widows and orphans, the displaced and the downhearted in Haiti and in so many other parts of the world.
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose! Be blessed!  Dr. JoAnn
