Treasures of Hope for Haiti!

As Christians, we are called to live with the humility that our Savior demonstrated for us. A part of being humble requires you to change your thinking and not to put your wants and needs above others. However, Christ's humility did not stop there. In Philippians 2:8 we are reminded that Christ humbled Himself in obedience to God, even to the point of dying a criminal's death on a cross. He did this out of great, furious love because we needed Him to redeem us. A fair assumption would be that, like Christ's humility, we are to humble ourselves in a way that lifts others up, so they may see Christ more clearly. Dear friends, we have the opportunity to humbly lift up our brothers and sisters of Haiti on our shoulders, so that they may see Christ in this great time of need.  
  The Heiskell School is partnering with Reformation Hope in order to raise money for one of their orphanages in Haiti, which collapsed during the recent earthquake. In the sovereignty of God's grace, supper was late for the orphans on the day when the earthquakes hit. Not a single child perished. Did you read this carefully? Not a single child perished!
  In order to raise funds for their new facilities, we will be hosting a flea market on Saturday, February 20th. More detailed information is listed below. Every Friday you will be able to drop off your donations. Please consider donating and attending the sale, but above all else pray without ceasing for God's chosen, as well as the lost of Haiti. 


Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters, be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.

1 Peter 3:8
