I don’t know about you but sometimes I need a little bit of prompting to be reminded of what to pray for.

This worked well for me. There are no words, just pictures of people that need the love of Jesus. I dare you to watch and not be prompted to pray.

Cedar Grove is reaching out to those in Haiti who were devastated by the massive earthquake that hit that country on January 12th. We are partnering with Samaritan’s Purse to reach those that desperately need assistance. Below is an excerpt from a recent post about how God has made a way to reach His people even through this disaster.
Despite what may be said about the people of Haiti, it has become unmistakably apparent to us on the ground that we have a God of Mercy; a God of second and third and fourth chances. We have a God who wants to redeem His creation and bring them to Him, no matter how far any person, people, or nation strays.
Many have given up hope for this little country because despite the tremendous amounts of money, effort, and resources that are pouring in, Haiti just doesn’t seem to get any better. There are even whispers that Port-au-Prince should be abandoned. Almost 200,000 Haitians have already loaded on buses and left.
The rational mind might be able to justify throwing its hands up in defeat saying, “Yes, nothing here is salvageable.” But not our God, for we are assured that His love is perfect and cannot be diminished or overwhelmed.
You can follow along with what Samaritian’s Purse is doing in Haiti by following their daily blog in pictures.
If you would like to get involved by making a donation you can do so online through Samaritan’s Purse Website. Please pray that many will come to know, the God of second chances, through this disaster.
