We are so grateful for those who have committed to pray for us as we are here in Haiti. Some of the things we pray for on an ongoing basis are for our family to stay close and strong together, that our relationship with the Lord would continue to deepen each day, and that we would reflect His love and grace in all of our dealings with others.
Here in Haiti we are continually surrounded by great need, both physical and spiritual. There are many complications with just always giving handouts. That can create a dependency on us and take away a person's dignity and incentive to work and provide for themselves. The need is so great at times that it can be overwhelming, but we are SO blessed and know that God wants us to pass those blessings along. Please pray for us to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Also, the son of the people who work for us (Hans) has been having trouble with his eyes. They have been red and irritated in the afternoons especially. They took him to the doctor and think he may need glasses. Please pray that this will soon be corrected.
Flori, our wonderful friend who watched Kyle and Megan in Guatemala, seems to have suffered some loss and difficulty lately. Please pray that the Lord would encourage her heart and send people to help and comfort her. We do not know the entire situation, but we know that God has a special plan for her life.
Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement.
As God leads me, I will pray. Susan U
