Our team of doctors and nurses had been treating patients all day in a sweltering church. We had a goal. We needed to be out of the church in time to pass out food in Capva,\u00a0a tent city just down the road, but people kept showing up to see a doctor. It became clear that someone would have to stand at the door to give them the heartbreaking news. We could take no more patients. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.<\/p>\n<p>We handed out over 15,000 meals later that day, and when we left there were still more people chasing after our buses in hopes of getting food. One word keeps running through my head\u2026 Desperation.<\/p>\n<p>It has been four years since the earthquake crumbled the walls of Haiti killing more than 300,000 people in Port Au Prince alone, and\u00a0people are still desperate for help. Children are hungry, naked, and sick. Working there brought to life\u00a0the words of Jesus. \u201cI was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,\u00a0I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me\u2026\u201d\u00a0Matt. 25:35&amp;36\u00a0We did.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CHOICE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes my perspective gets challenged. One of our translators proved to be wise beyond is years. He said, \u201cYou know the only difference between you and us is choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right. You have the choice to come here and serve or not, the choice to eat or not to eat, and the choice to wear clothes or run around naked in the streets. These people would give anything to have what you have\u2026 Choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I am working to bring light to the darkened streets of Haiti.\u00a0Will you partner with me?\u00a0Together we can bring change.\u00a0You can get involved.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monthly Support: Is there an amount that you can set aside every month to support me as I work to help those in need?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missiondiscovery.org\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">If so click here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Start-up fund:\u00a0Is there an amount that you can give right now to this work?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missiondiscovery.org\/donate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">If so click here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pray:\u00a0I need you to pray for my fundraising efforts.\u00a0I would love to sign you up for a specific day this month that you can commit to pray for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>PARTICIPANT REFLECTIONS FROM HAITI 2014<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cMy week started with the news of Lindsey passing away and ended with a wonderful meeting with Luna, a sweet girl with CP at New Life.\u00a0I held her for hours.\u00a0Our bodies are back home but heart and minds are still in Haiti.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-Randy King<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaiti has my heart.\u00a0I saw so many beautiful smiles and sincere joy in each person I cared for.\u00a0I see the hope in Haiti and the awesome things God is doing!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-Brenda Beggs<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI spent time playing and praying.
