Haiti Mission by a Member & Friends

March 9, 2010 in Missions by WNG | 2 comments

JUMP TO THE COMMENTS IN THE LINE ABOVE FOR THE LATEST WORD FROM THE TEAM IN HAITI.

I just received a communication from Susan Cook re her March 6th-March 15th Medical Mission to Haiti. She writes:

Could you also asked the congregation to remember our team for the Next two weeks. A lot of is still unknown—all we do know is from pictures and word of mouth. I’m leading this team by grace and faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, and need the prayers of the congregation.

Here’s a brief summary for you: Our team will work in a field hospital in Leogane and hopefully do mobile clinics and work in Leogane Orphanage for the week. Please pray for safe travel, the health of our team and our ability to be flexible during this earthquake recovery phase in Leogane. Only God knows what we will encounter each day but we make our plans and final preparations trusting God will use our willing hearts and our hands and feet for HIM as we serve so many needy Haitian brothers and sisters.

I hope the letter is helpful!!

In Christian Love, Susan

Susan has been in Haiti before, and has contacts there. Here is the Link to Susan’s PDF Prayer Letter. I am asking Susan to post occasional updates from Haiti here via the comments section of this post. Please leave it open for her. WNG

Mission Possible: A New Roof on the Pavilion

March 9, 2010 in Announcements by WNG

Look back here for updates about the blitz build that will be taking place the weekend of April 15-17. Volunteers (led and assisted by experts) will be putting a new roof on the Pavilion and Youth Building. You can volunteer, or you can sponsor a volunteer for cash. I suppose you can even send money as a substitute for your time. One trustee has pledged $100 dollars just to keep one individual off the roof! How kind! All proceeds will go to help Brian Huffman and family. To follow Brian’s story look here. For pictures of Mission Possible look here. And don’t forget the fishfry on March 13th, also to benefit Brian. He is at Duke Hospital right now, and his bone marrow transplant is now scheduled for March 30th. Keep Brian, his family, and all those who are surrounding him to give him aid in your prayers. Especially the staff at Duke!

The Gift that Goes on Giving (4 of 4)

The Gift of Wisdom: Part 2
Worth Green, Th.M., D.Min.

We are talking about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. In 1st Corinthians chapter 12;7-11, St. Paul speaks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit as manifestation of the life of God in the midst of the congregation. He says: “To one is given the utterance of wisdom.”

The last time we were together we spoke of the gift of wisdom as “the knowledge of things human and divine and their causes.”

There are two kinds of wisdom, human and Divine, and God is the author of both.

Dr. C. Daniel Crews, provincial Archivists, and the Rev. Dr. Nola Knouse, head of the Moravian Music Foundation, for their contribution to our programs. There were c. 25 persons in their seminar.
