A little update on the new family here @ IFM....we have felt all your prayers as the new adjustments have went better than we expected. God is working in the lives of the staff members here and they have welcomed us with opened arms and have helped us through the new things we need to learn around here.
Learning wisdom in discerning all the many needs from trained beggars/or those that really are in need can be a challenge. We ask ourselves "What would Jesus do?" This is Haiti, but is this justifiable according to the Scriptures?
Pray for us in this area.
We do know Christ calls us to love, love comes from the Father and when we accept His love this should pour out of our hearts to others. Many of the Haitian people here are really starving for love. They want acceptance, the immorality shows that.
Pray that they can feel His love and acceptance.
We are learning piti (little bit) of Creole. Enough that we can communicate some, but we have still have a lot to learn.
Pray that we can apply ourselves more into the language.
Our children have enjoyed establishing relationships with the Haitians. There are good influences and bad.
Pray that our children will choose the right paths and influences.
Some-days we can feel inadequate in this calling. But we feel God giving us wings of strength in helping make decisions and when the days get challenging.
Pray that He will get all the glory and praise for the cause of His kingdom.
He is worthy!
The Lavy Family
