Farming in Haiti

Seven people from our area are going to Haiti next week to do a little Kingdom farming! We will be joining the Apostle Paul who wrote to the church in Corinth, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase!” Corinthians 3:6-7.

We ask you to pray for our team as we work among the Haitians to show and tell them the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. Six of us will be doing that through helping to build temporary houses for families whose shelter for the past 10 months has been a sheet or a plastic tarp stretched over a rope. What we will build will be insignificant by our standards but it will be a miracle to the dozen or more families whose heads we help put a roof over.

One member of the EBA team will be joining a medical team from Indiana. That team will treat everything from simple infections to life-threatening illnesses and injuries. Previous medical teams have treated over 300 people a day while providing hygiene education to many more to spare them diseases like cholera.

Perhaps we will see some of the harvest. We will tell you about any people who make professions of faith during our stay. Most likely we will never see the results of the seed we sow. However, our goal is not to seek glory in the harvest. Our goal is to sow seeds that will be watered and cultivated by others until, in God’s time, the harvest will be reaped. 

We are grateful for the support of every person who has helped bring us to this point. Now we need your prayers so that together we can do the Kingdom farming that God calls every congregation to do.
