Combating Darkness


Some ladies from our church have recently flown down to Haiti.  They are there to work with a plant from the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission.  The ladies took some solar powered lights with them to do two things...

1)  Provide some light at nightime for the villagers.  The people in Haiti get scared of the dark very easily due to the rampant nature of voodoo in the country.  These lights, placed outside their huts, will give them a practical sense of comfort.

2)  Provide an opportunity to share the gospel message through the analogy of Jesus being our light in a dark world.

I am happy to be part of a church doing this kind of work.  I hope to go to Haiti next year with my wife.
