Special Prayer for Haiti Team

Michelle and I have been to Haiti and we know how crazy it really is. Anyway, a team from our Cornerstone Missionary Church went to Haiti last week and had a terrible experience. Bandits broke into the Missionary compound and tried to kidnap several Americans from Cornerstone. Their was a shuffle as the bandits tried to capture several men. In the shuffle missionary David Shoenhals was shot three times, once in the face where the bullet entered the cheek and exited behind the ear. At last report he was in surgery.

Two weeks ago I spoke with the pastor who is a brother to our District Supt., telling him that I want to be invited next time he goes to Haiti. Had I known they were going I would have gone with them. Haiti has a special place in my heart since we sponsored a girl for years from their.

Please pray for the team and especially for the missionary who was shot. No one knows why the attack happened. We do know that Haiti is very unstable at this time. Anyone going to Haiti truly is putting their lives at risk.

I have a vivid picture in my mind of Haiti and how this kind of thing could easily happen. We spent 10 days their years ago and I will never forget those experiences.

Thanks for praying...

Father, we pray your protection over your children in Haiti. We pray for David, that you would touch him, heal him, and restore him into your service.

We pray, Lord, that your Truth would be manifested through this attack. That your Gospel would go forth in meaningful and lasting ways. And we pray, Lord, that your children ministering in Haiti would be free from further attack and able to continue in their ministries.

Because you care about Haiti, we care about Haiti. We pray in your Son's name, in the name of Jesus Christ, and believe for the answer. Amen.
