A Call to Pray

A call for you to pray - and help - if possible!

This morning, after traveling all day to visit family in the US for Christmas, Corrigan and Shelley posted this -

"They were waiting for us to leave... Last night, our first night back in the USA as a family since 2008, the Apparent Project house in Haiti was broken into and all the business computers and the electrical inverters were stolen. We aren't sure what else. They removed the bars from a window and entered that way. We do not have the money to replace this stuff that is essential to operation. Please, if you can, help us fix this. You can donate (tax deductible) at apparentproject.org   A great way to celebrate the birth of the one who was born to hang between thieves."

*** Total losses between $5,000 and $8,000 from what we know is missing so far.

What a blow!!!  Please pray for peace for them.  This was supposed to be a restful time away - not one filled with stress and worry.  

If you can help with a donation - that would be awesome!  

Please share this with all your contacts  - let's help bless them!  Excited to see what God is going to do!

 

"In my mind theft is a lazy, uncreative, and fearful attempt to secure one's survival. It's opposite is work, labor, creativity.... That's why we do what we do, because this kind of robbery is all too commonplace for those we serve.... It is too normal of a way to make ends meet.... And obviously theft is unsustainable.... But so is a daily bread of handouts, a paternalistic dependency, and treating the poor as if their poverty has somehow elevated their humanity. Poverty kills love, sparks fear, and drains one's respect for others. So I love Haitians not "despite" this kind of behavior, but in the face of it.....because unless creative, productive, honest, responsible, accountable living thrives and becomes the norm, then thievery, fear, corruption, and mistrust will stay in power. Our battle is not against flesh and blood."   ~ Corrigan Clay
