Last evening on St. Andrew's Day, Pastor Luckey and I introduced about a hundred or so members of Faith Lutheran Church to the work of Christian Flights International in Haiti. With real Haitian coffee and delicious fruits sprinkled with coconut-sugar made by Mama in Ivy Solomon's home, everyone got a very good introductory feel as to what it's like to live in Haiti and how we as Christians might provide witness to the kingdom of God making itself manifest among the people of Ranquitte, a small mountain village in northeastern Haiti. Right now several of us are planning to go again to Haiti, sometime in mid-April after Easter. If in your resurrected life you'd like to visit Ranquitte and return a person in love with Haiti, let me know. And if you wish to love the Haitian people now and from this day forward, please include them and the missionary folks of Christian Flights International in your prayers and intercessions. Thanks.
