Prayer for Mission in Haiti

This week we pray for the ongoing mission in Haiti, including the work of our mission workers there, Jeanette Salley and Katie Pickens.  Both of them actively serve with CONASPEH, the National Spiritual Council of Churches in Haiti.  As you might imagine, much of their work still involves recovery from the devastating earthquake in January 2010.

You can read about the mission to Haiti here, including a link to interviews with both missionaries and Katie Pickens' frequently updated blog. 

I also hope that you will pray for Eastgate's continued outreach to Haiti, including our commitment to provide the salary for a doctor in Haiti each year.  Envelopes for contributions for this purpose are on the back table in the sanctuary.  We are currently planning a Haiti Sunday later in the spring to highlight this significant outreach project of our congregation.

There are Christian missionaries serving around the world on our behalf in 70 countries. Each week, Global Missions highlights one of these missions and asks the church to pray for its continued vitality in spreading the Gospel.
