February 4th

It is officially booked - my ticket to fly out on the 4th of February.
I'm flying to the Dominican, visiting a couple of friends, taking a couple of busses and should arrive in Port-Au-Prince on the afternoon of the 7th.

I also wanted to share that I am up in numbers of financial supporters! Only 30 more monthly supporters (at $20/month) will cover the whole year!

This has been an amazing few weeks.
I am so grateful for each of you.

A dear friend sent me a cheque this week with a note commenting on the cheque number: "091"
She said she couldn't have planned it better - the reference to Psalm 91 - what an encouragement to me when it arrived in the mail today.

Psalm 91

The LORD Is My Fortress

¹Live under the protection of God Most High 

and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful.

²Then you will say to the LORD, "You are my fortress,

my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you."

³The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases.

⁴He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure.

His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall.

⁵You won't need to worry about dangers at night or arrows during the day.

⁶And you won't fear diseases that strike in the dark or sudden disaster at noon.

⁷You will not be harmed, though thousands fall all around you.

⁸And with your own eyes you will see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹The LORD Most High is your fortress.

Run to him for safety,

¹⁰and no terrible disasters will strike you or your home.

¹¹God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go.

¹²They will carry you in their arms,

and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.

¹³You will overpower the strongest lions

and the most deadly snakes.

¹⁴The Lord says, "If you love me and truly know who I am,

I will rescue you and keep you safe.

¹⁵When you are in trouble, call out to me.

I will answer and be there to protect and honor you.

¹⁶You will live a long life

and see my saving power."
