TGN: HAPPY UNITED WE SERVE DAY

As we celebrate the memory and great accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr. today, SERVICE resonates on the hearts of many. As the Obama administration has turned this day into a day where we can get out there and serve others - lets join the calling and do it. Serving is the heart of God. I look forward to hooking up with some of you today at Belvedere Middle School. There are all ways to serve, some other options are below:

Please continue to pray for Haiti and long term aide. People are acting out of desperation, because that's the only way they can see. Pray for God's way. Pray for the children. Pray for the families. Pray for restoration. Pray for refuge- so many have been left homeless. Pray for healing (bodies and the land). Pray for those individuals you know and/or don't know who are personally affected by this tragedy. And pray on how you can help. We can't stop praying. Thank You.

You can add whatever you like to this, no amount is too small.

Please forward this information to your Friends and Colleagues. And continue to pray; because even when this disaster fades from the minds of most, it's our job to keep it on our minds and in prayer. THANK YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU DO FROM COMPASSION & LOVE!

As more opportunities present themselves in the helps ministry for Haiti, I will keep you posted. If you know anyone collecting goods and taking them down personally, send that information over. It's time to take part in helping our fellow man, wherever they are.

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace...

Prayer: Listen to our voices in the morning, LORD. Each morning we bring our requests and concerns to you and wait expectantly. It is You God that can and will restore. It is You LORD, that will bring about Your awesome glory in a situation that looks so dire before our eyes. Thank You LORD, for having eternal perspective. Thank You for having understanding so beyond ours that hope is still in the picture.

LORD, I pray that Your compassion takes over in Haiti. I pray for each person's safety. I pray that this world will not turn their backs on them; not giving up on them in a few weeks or months, but sticking with this nation until they are abundantly better than where they ever were before. Sticking with them to help build on a stronger foundation. You will not forsake them, you will not forget them Almighty.

I pray for those with family members and friends in Haiti. I ask that You bless them with Your peace as they trust in You for all direction and strategies. Lead them on the right path, O LORD. Make Your way plain to for them to follow. I pray that they don't try to be strong on their own, but totally depend on Your Strength. I pray for those who have lost their family members and/or friends in this tragedy. My hope and desire is that those who lost their earthly lives, knew You-because then their soul is at rest- Hallelujah. I pray that this truly awakens the people still living on this earth, in realizing how precious life is; how important unity is for us; and how You are the answer to everything.

I pray that this experience opens the eyes of everyone on this earth, LORD, and that we who trust and love You- begin to appreciate and honor You without compromise. That the change that results in our lives, brings more people into Your Kingdom.

Father, You are Haiti's Refuge and High Tower. You are a refuge and stronghold in these times of trouble. I rebuke the stupidity and foolishness that results from desperation. And I ask that You allow Your wisdom to dwell in their midst and direct them. Let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your name may be filled with joy, in spite of their circumstances.

On Your authority, let the cry of Your children be answered now. Hear them and deliver them out of all of their distress and troubles. Thank You for being merciful and gracious to Your children LORD. Thank You for bringing darkness to light. Thank You for being the Light in the darkness. Thank You for Your mighty servants and their hearts to serve, give and help. You are the very present and well-proved Help in trouble, and I give you all the honor for whatever You have planned. For You bless the godly, O LORD; You surround them with Your shield of love. In Your Awesome Name, we pray, Jesus. Amen (Psalm 5).
