See the Marvels of God

God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains...God lives here, the streets are safe, God at your service from crack of dawn...Attention, all! See the marvels of God! Psalm 46:1-8 (Message) I know so many people have been praying and all those prayers have been the lifeline of hope in Haiti. We may not be able to physically see what God has been doing, but I hope that these reports are an encouragement to you to keep praying because THESE ARE THE MARVELS OF GOD! Joe, Sherry, Doug and others had a safe trip across Haiti and the Dominican on Friday and then made it back to the states Saturday. Norma, Wayne & John have continued the work at Joy House along with the Joy House staff. They were able to find a bigger and better generator for a little less than they anticipated, so they have been able to make great progress on the wall and the foundation of the building. Wayne was able to run extension cords to their tents, so they could have fans running while they sleep…Although Wayne decided to put one of the big fans in his tent and John said the fan was so big compared to the tent that they were afraid they would find Wayne gliding across the bay by morning. The fans were a big blessing and helped them get a good night's sleep. Jesus Church at Santos met today under the trees outside Joy House with about 70 in attendance. Daniel played his guitar and sang a song and Reginald preached a moving sermon with two women accepting Christ at the end of the service – SEE THE MARVELS OF GOD! One of the women said that God had spared her whole family and because of that she needed to give her life totally to Him. This afternoon they went out to Benito's church and he said that they have been meeting out in an open field because of the fear of being in buildings, and that this morning they met from 5AM – 7AM in order to avoid the heat of the sun. Now that is dedication to have worship service at 5AM! The aftershocks have been fewer today and they were seeing signs of city power being restored in different parts of the area this evening. Keep on praying because we are seeing the marvels of God everyday. 2 Corinthians 1:10-11 (NIV) On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.
