Haiti, The Need is Great! and YWAM Orlando Campus Update

The recent earthquake in Haiti is affecting three million impoverished Haitians! The news reports coming out of Haiti, even after several weeks, continues to show just how desperate the situation is. YWAM Orlando received a call from our International Chairman's office asking if we, would help organize the shipping of food, water, and supplies to St. Marc where our national director for YWAM Haiti has set up feeding centers. As a result, we have sent $5000 and two of our leaders down for a week to assess the situation and bring relief through their expertise. A second team of 3 will be working in Haiti for two months. Since this need in Haiti will exist for many months, we hope that we will be able to send many short-term teams to help in the spring quarter.

Thousands of people are fleeing Haiti and crossing the border into the Dominican Republic in hopes of getting medical treatment. Our Discipleship Training School Outreach Team is currently helping minister to some of these refugees in the exact community I lead a team to last spring. The team currently there is handing out beans, rice and praying with patients at clinics and hospitals, but the needs of these Haitians are still overwhelming.

Property Update
The desperate need in Haiti, like many other places around the world, just confirms our need for a larger training campus, which will allow us to train literally thousands these missionaries formed into dynamic world-changing teams. For years, YWAM Orlando was in prayer for the land and resources needed to obey God's calling. Then suddenly, He provided. In a big way. He led us to 198 acres of land within the greater Orlando area, just 35 minutes from the international airport. To reach our target closing date of May 31st, we need to see donations of $1.25 million. Right now, we have $128,000 committed and are very grateful!

My entire schedule has been reshaped to focus completely on doing the possible to achieve this goal... acknowledging that God will be doing the impossible! Daily I must refocus on Him, and His desires to see such a great thing happen.

As a part of the YWAM Orlando family I have joined our season of 24/7 prayer, every hour, each day, the next staff stops what we are doing and takes our own turn of focused prayer for the campus.

Would you please join me, in your own way, by praying? Praying for continued provision as He does this "impossible" miracle so that this God-given opportunity will not slip away. So that no missions opportunities will go unfulfilled. And not a single soul will be lost.
I couldn't do this with out you!
