Haiti

As I am sure you all know Haiti got rocked by an earthquake earlier this week. If you are looking for some way to get involved beyond prayer may I suggest Lifeline Christian Mission. The above picture is of one of their classrooms which was leveled. They have had a presence in Haiti for 30 years and will now have to go about rebuilding everything they have done. Check them out here.

One thought that has been weighing heavily on me is to go there on a short term mission trip this summer. What say you men?

A worthwhile cause

I ran across this group and it really seems like a worthy cause. They are called Games for Soldiers and they spend their time and resources getting games out to service men and women overseas. Check it out and if you think it is worthy make a donation. I sent them $10.00 to cover the cost of shipping a box of games over.
