On Sunday, we will celebrate our ongoing support for the medical clinic in Carrefour, Haiti. Our special Haiti Sunday will feature a testimony from Rev. Karen Yount, who has frequently traveled to Haiti over the years -- she will be sharing photos and stories from her experiences of visits to the Carrefour clinic. After this, Sue Short will invite us to give generously to provide the annual salary for the clinic doctor, as Eastgate has done every year since 2007.
I am excited for our worship time this weekend, when we will gather together to praise a God who uses our congregation in Independence to make a community better in Haiti. We will share our money and our prayers and hundreds of people will have medical care that they otherwise would not have. In this practical way -- and Karen will have pictures to show us -- you and I will be reminded again that together, as the body of Christ, we can lovingly be the hands and feet of Christ.
What a blessed thing! I have no doubt that we will raise enough money to fund Dr. Duronvil's 2012-2013 salary -- and maybe a little extra for the clinic besides. And I have no doubt that we will be blessed through our sharing, if only by the assurance that, through Christ, all things are possible.
