sometimes it's hard to know how to help another country that is experiencing unfathomable trauma, loss, despair, and so much more. i wish i could just hold haitian babies and children who are now without parents. i wish i could do something. i know shaun wishes he could be there doing something.
but the one thing we can do besides pray is give money to help provide food, water, fuel, medicine, etc. to a ministry that not only brings those much needed items and more but to a ministry that will also bring the hope of Jesus with them.
El Shaddai Ministries is the same ministry that shaun and others from our church worked with and served with just one short month ago. the men who head up this ministry are working feverishly to provide for those suffering in haiti. you can be sure that your donations will actually make it to those in need and not get lost in administrative costs.
i know my family can do without parts of our budget that we *think* we need. the Lord has already blessed us so much and i know He wants us to hold loosely to our possessions and our money. please donate, it is the very least we can do.

also, here is a video of when shaun and others from our church were in haiti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvcbZhYIKww
Thanks for the link to the video! It was wonderful to see the work that the team did. Our hearts break for the people of Haiti but you are right that we can all do something to help.
