Haiti Shaken and the World in Need


In the midst of so much heartache and struggle, I am reminded of both the difficulty and the victories that humanity has faced throughout the years. At this moment we have a team of relief workers headed to the Dominican Republic to meet with a pastor and friend in Haiti. To contribute to the Haiti Relief Fund or to find out more about what we and our local church, Faith Apostolic Church, are doing to support relief in Haiti, please visit Faith Apostolic Church.

Though we are not currently in the nation of Cuba, we know that the Lord is there and there are men and women continuing the work. Though we grieve for the people of Haiti, a neighbor of Cuba, we celebrate the work that is being done to help those in need, reach the lost, and meet needs throughout the world.

Throughout this difficult time something comes to my mind - Just last week we celebrated the birth of our second child, Isabel Havana Rennard.





















Though there is death and turmoil in Haiti and other countries throughout the world, babies are being born, life is being sustained, and many are hearing the Word of God. It is this hope that we have in Him, that He would give us life and give it to us more abundantly. We pray for the nation of Haiti, even though there is death and destruction, we pray that many will find peace in the Lord, strength in hope, love, and unity.

We'd love to be in Cuba right now in mission with God, but know that His timing is perfect and His will is unchanging. We thank everyone for their support during the past few months of our stay here in the States. When we are able to provide more information about our mission to Cuba we will post it here. In the meantime, pray for those that we've ministered to and equipped for ministry in Cuba. They are the laborers and they are working diligently to change the landscape of a nation.

We love you all and appreciate everything you do for this world in need.

James, Rachael, Ava and Isabel
