Worshipping in Santo Domingo

I just have to say, technology is such a blessing when used to build up the body of believers. Thanks all for your prayers for the "Team in Haiti." :)

This morning, not-so-bright and early, NBC-17 was at RDU to interview members of the team traveling to Haiti from the Raleigh area. You can read/watch at MY-NC.

The official "logo" of the medical disaster relief team.

With this shirt on, they have the ability to work in Haiti. It reminds me of a song, "Covered by the Blood." Just as this t-shirt provides safety, security, and freedom so the people of Haiti can receive relief in love, Jesus' blood covers our sins when we accept Him as Savior, providing safety, security and freedom in love.

Except for the setting and the sleepiness (those flights were really early this morning), it sounds pretty much like a Sunday around here. The team went to the grocery store for supplies to take into Haiti tomorrow. Their church host, Iglesia Bautista Ozama near Santo Domingo, DR, had a banquet and service this evening.

Here's the team!

Their whole experience today reminds me of the Acts 2 church. Acts 2:42 says, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." God's church is the same in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, the Dominican Republic and in Haiti. As we worship Him, joining together in fellowship and prayer, He gets the opportunity to do great things.

My prayer tonight is that this team will be united in spirit and purpose as they go forward into the "battlezone." I pray that God will bless their efforts, keep them strong, and protect their hearts when they confront enormous obstacles. I pray for God to move miraculously through the little hospital in Petionville, so that Jesus is glorified. And I pray that these faithful servants will get to praise God for "adding to their number daily those who are being saved."

May God bless the team with good sleep tonight and safe travel (10-12 hour bus ride) into Haiti tomorrow. They take off at 5:30 tomorrow morning.
