Yesterday I sat in a coffee shop, chatting with a friend about life and service and responsibility and what it means to live on mission. And my thoughts were directed back to this quote from Richard Stearns:
“The adventure that God invites each of us on is a life filled with meaning and purpose. His plan for each of us is unique, but it is always filled with a sense of passion to complete God’s mission to demonstrate and share His love. He may send you to Wall Street or the local soup kitchen. He may ask you to spend years in preparation or to drop everything and start doing what you feel totally unprepared to do.”
Two years ago God clearly called the Graves family and the Derard family to partner together in Haiti Awake. He has given us a passion for Haiti and her people, and He's continued to clearly show us what He would have us to do day-by-day.
On this special day, we are thankful for the many people, both Haitian and American, God has used over the last two years to teach us, to encourage us, to support us, to help us more clearly define our mission and our philosophy of ministry.
We are excited to watch our Haiti Awake family continue to grow, and we look forward to continuing to share the goodness and faithfulness of God in the years to come.
Below are just a few of the memories we're been blessed with here at Haiti Awake.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
