Journey To Haiti - Come Together as One Body in Christ

1 Corinthians 12:12-26 

12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

My excitement has only grown over the past weeks for the journey to Haiti. There have been a few concerns of safety from my family, but my soul rests in the Lord and He has provided me with such comfort about heading to Haiti. I truly can not deny that Christ is shaping me into the ambassador for His love and truth.

I have many prayers for Haiti. One in particular has been on my heart recently.  I pray that we come together as one body in Christ to share the Gospel. I desire that we work together, pray together, and love each other as one church with a common goal, to spread the love of Christ. In first 1 Cor 12, it talks about how each part of the body is an essential part as a whole. Not one part is more important than the other. God has graciously opened an opportunity to work together as one body and my prayer is that we do just that. Work together for one goal, spreading the Word of Christ and the love He has to offer.

100 days until Haiti!
