Right Now

Right now, I have these 6 friends in Haiti.  Right now, Haiti has seen an outbreak in Cholera, a disease caused by poor sanitary conditions and bacteria transmitted through contaminated water and food.  Right now, they say that 501 Haitians have died from this Cholera outbreak but health workers say there may be more victims cut off by the flooding after Hurricane Tomas hit.  Right now, Haitians are still suffering from the devastating earthquake that hit, almost 10 months ago.
The Mission that my friends are working with have become the only functioning Cholera clinic in the Northwest of Haiti.  They are saying that there are Nurses and Doctors from all over America that have come to fight this disease with the people of Haiti.  
Right now, my daughter is in her bed looking at books.  Right now, my youngest son is warm and snug in his bed taking a nap.  Right now, I am looking at dishes that I will wash that had fresh and clean food on it from breakfast.  Right now, my eldest son is at school, learning more about sentence structure, playing games in gym, sorting things that are alike and will soon be eating the lunch we packed him earlier this morning.
Will you pray with me for the people of Haiti?  Will you pray that these people will have clean water to drink, clean food to eat, clean clothes to wear and a roof and walls to cover their heads?  Will you pray with me that these people would know the hope of Christ, in a God who loves them deeply?  Will you pray with me for the people who would be called and sent out to offer help to those who need it in Haiti?  Will you pray with me for the friends who are there now to joyfully do what they were called to do to help?  Will you pray with me that these friends will return safe and that the work they have done in this short time would multiply as other missionaries, Nurses, Doctors and Friends continue to arrive over the next weeks, months and years?
