Learning Curves

The last month at the House of Moses has brought on many things.  We all have been on a great "learning curve" along the way.  Here are a few things I have learned over the last month:

• Experienced plumbers in Haiti are worth their weight in GOLD
• There is a difference between sumberagble water pumps and nonsubmeragable water pumps 
• 240 Amps wired incorrectly is costly to your Ryobi chargers 
• 19 people can go through alot of water very quickly 
• Water is LIFE in Haiti!
• Porches are great for sleeping when it is hot outside.
• There are difference between electrical chords
• Water filters are very important in Haiti! 

Along with the learning curve have come some great insight!

• Acts 2:42 can exist today 
• Biblical reconciliation works with brokenness and repentiece 
• God is complete control of our everyday lives
• Students rise to any challenge placed before them 
• The beauty of my wife, inside and outside, amazes me! 
• There are people dying each day, going to hell, as we sit back and watch.
• It is important for us, through our words and actions “taste and see the LORD is good”, not just sit and talk about Him as if we know Him.
• Faith is action iniated and susatained by God...all we do is surrender 

And finally to not to make this too long...

“Greater is He that is in US, than he that is in the world!”

For His glory alone!  

God sets eternity in the Hearts of Men

God's Word says, if I be lifted up - I will draw all men unto myself.  I find comfort in Jesus being the only one who can save.  Good friend's of ours who have devoted their life to serving Jesus in Haiti often remind us that the only true difference we make in Haiti, the World or in life is leaving a legacy of the only thing that doesn't return void...the gospel - God's Word! They get passionate about feeding people temporal food and then talk about having people fat and in Hell versus skinny but in Heaven.  Just wanting to keep the main thing...the main thing.  Well, tonight we saw the kingdom of God in our meek living room.

Today was another great day of ministry:
-Water delivered to the jail
-A kid's hurt foot taken care of
-Reconciliation biblical meetings in our home
-Discipleship meetings
-Fellowship and prayer with a young adult couple pursuing God's will for their  lives

BUT THEN,  (don't you love those words)  I LOVE when the Bible says, BUT God  (so powerful) 
Everyday we pray that our home and family is an aroma of Christ, a testimony and example - Right now in that I hear the Word...If I be lifted up, I will draw...
Tonight during family Bible Study a young man named Maxion who has become family and comes in the evenings for devotion time, surrendered his life to Jesus!  His commitment to Christ through salvation got the other boys who come with him, Alince and Eddie talking about their salvation.  They know they are Christians but have never been baptized so they want to be obedient to follow Christ in baptism.  THANK you Lord that you are at work!
