Pastor's Pen 8-17-08

I received this e-mail from Derrell Monday, our Director of Missions, pray about this and see if this is something you might be interested in.
“We have the possibility of doing a construction project (a duplex or housing work) in Haiti for a seminary there. We would be looking at January and February, ideally with two or three (or more) teams staggered to go in and do the project or as much as possible. We would need builders, plumbers, electric, good "Indians" and all. We could have some that would be able to do prayer walking or other things if not able to do construction, but construction would be the focus. I do not have costs yet, but when the missionary returns to Haiti next week he will send me sample plans for the building needed and other information.
I am sending this now for you consideration as if we plan to try to respond we will need to make a commitment and get started enlisting workers and getting a staggered schedule of folks to go. We would not need large groups, but 10-15 or so in each group.
Please pray about this and let's discuss it at the board meetings. Thanks. Derrell”
All I can say is, pray about it, we have some in our church who have a specialty, and we have a good group of Indians, after all we can only stand so many chiefs. Anyway, pray about this and if God lays it on your heart to go and build in Haiti, you will need a passport and money, but the good news is, we have time for both. Time to get your passport (apply now) and time to raise some money. We can do some church fund raisers and you can raise some on your own. If God opens this door, and if He leads you to go, I can guarantee you that this will be a mission trip you will never forget.
So start praying now, please don’t just dismiss this and say that there is no way you can go, with God there is. Remember, prayer is the key.

In HIS Service,
Bro. Randy
